Penna'e Akpuru - I Got Myself Together (feat. Nina Henderson) Lyrics

Living past my pain to live my dreams
I'm living past my pain to live my dreams
Living past my pain to live my dreams
I'm living past my pain to live my dreams

If it's the last thing I do is to let you know my love was true
This wasn't no wham bamm, thank you ma'am, a one night stand
I was your lover, your friend in hand
Not a fan

If you had asked me to jump, I asked how high
We were compatible, never to collide
I had respect you, never neglect you
Never let you down, or even upset you

And when you cried, materialistic things that you wanted
I'd buy, buy, buy
Oh dear, when you cried, I'd dried your eyes
I kept you satisfied

I turned your rainy days into sunshine
And your glow was back in a matter of time
No lie, every day for you I grind
No lie, for you I cry

I got myself together (got myself together)
I got myself together (got myself together, hey)
I got myself together (I got myself together)
I got myself together (oh, oh)

I was your feet when you couldn't walk
I was your mouth when you couldn't talk
I've been your mind when you couldn't think
When You called me, I was there in the blink, blink, blink

I gave you space, allowed you to be free
What more did you want from a woman like me
You took me for granted, walked all over me
Left me abandoned in my time of need

Oh why, oh why would you do me so wrong
I was so true and oh so strong
But by the time I was fed up with you
My life seemed lost, but my mind kept going on

My mind kept going on (I, fed up with you)
My mind kept going on (I, fed up with you)
My mind kept going on (got myself together)
My mind kept going on

I got myself together (got myself together)
I got myself together (got myself together, hey)
I got myself together (got myself together)
I got myself together (oh, oh)

Got myself together to live my dreams
I'm living past my pain

You have to love yourself before you try to love somebody else
All the love you was giving to him, just pour it on yourself
And your life will begin all over
Just listen to what I say, and then your life will be okay

'Cause I got myself together, Baby
So, get yourself together, Ladies

Living past my pain to live my dreams
I'm living past my pain to live my dreams
Living past my pain to live my dreams
I'm living past my pain to live my dreams

I got myself together
I got myself together
I got myself together
I got myself together
