Mike the Mechanics and Paul Carrack - Get Up Lyrics

Get up

Do you remember how we used to say?
Nothing could ever, oh, stand in our way
It's no use pretending things are still the same
'Cause we're no longer ahead of the game

Well, I've already gone through it all and it?s true
If you want to survive there's just one thing to do

Yeah, get up and do something
Get up and take control of your life
Get up and do something about it, baby
You'll never make the same mistake twice, yeah

Just like a flyer high above the ground
I'm on a tightrope, I'm afraid to look down
Yes, I'm almost approaching the point of no return
Sometimes I wonder if I?ll ever learn

Well, I've already said that you ought to be proud
Listen, talking is cheap, oh, but action speaks loud

Get up, do something
Get up and take control of your life
C'mon, get up and do something about it, baby
You'll never make the same mistake twice

All of this time you've been learning to crawl
When you're down on your knees you've got nowhere to fall

Get up
Get up
Get up
Get up

Yeah, get up and do something
Get up and take control of your life
C'mon, get up and do something about it, baby
You'll never make the same mistake twice

Get up and take control
Get up and [Incomprehensible]
Get up and take control of your life

Get up
Get up
Get up

Get up
Do something about it, baby
Get up
Do something about it, baby
