I don't want to hurt you child
I don't want you to have to sacrifice for me
You'll find shelter beneath my eave
Rain or snow or swelter, you'll never want to leave, oh no
You got to get it together, come on
All kinds of nasty weather now, come one
Got to get it together now, come on
I can't trust you because I see just what you do
Gonna bust you, baby, stay a step ahead of you
I can't do everything you want me to do
Because somehow I know I got to break through
Obligation is not my style, oh no
My occupation is to make you smile
And I work it like a dog
Draw your curtains baby, go on and block the sun
I will be your shine if you give me room
Room to run, oh no
I got to get it together now, come on
All kinds of nasty weather now, come on
Got to get it together now, come on
UPTOWN!
Get it together, get it together
Now a wise man once told me
Believe just half of what you see
And none of what you hear baby
She took the best part of me and flipped it from love into fear
She had me running, trying to get away now
Well I was running, trying to get away, yeah
She had me running, trying to get away now
Well I was running, trying to get away yeah
Oh no
You got to get it together now, come on
All kinds of nasty mental weather, come on
Take my hand and we'll run through the heather
