We Gotta Get Out Of This Place (US Single Version)
Lyrics
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
Watch my daddy in bed and dyin'
Watch his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes, I know it
(Yeah) he's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah) every night and day
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause, girl, there's a better life for me and you
Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it
Watch my daddy in bed and dyin'
Watch his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah) every day, baby
(Yeah) whoa
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Somewhere, baby, somehow I know it, baby
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Believe me, baby, I know it, baby
You know it too, baby
