Chorus:

Get a grip --- get a grip on it

Try to stay on it, baby

Get a grip --- don't let up on it

Gotta get on it, baby

(repeat chorus)

Floating --- so high above the ground

Playing between the sound of perilous boundaries

Seek out confusing surroundings all around

Working --- to gain some higher ground

Then there's a stranger

Keeps a-calling inside of my head

Wonderin' when there will come a time

The power of your love is all i want to find

Bridge 1:

A hit today is tomorrow's debt

And yesterday's a cancelled check

You do your best, careful not to fall

Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

Chorus:

Get a grip --- get a grip on it

Try to stay on it, baby

Get a grip --- don't let up on it

Gotta get on it, baby

(repeat chorus)

Laying --- the tracks of endless sound

The cost is high but i got to do it anyhow

Total --- control is on my mind

It feels so right, i know it must be a sign

Working --- to gain some higher ground

Then there's a stranger

Keeps a-calling inside of my head

Wonderin' when there will come a time

The power of your love is all i want to find

Bridge 2:

Ooh wanna find, wanna find love

I wanna find love

Wanna know. wanna know

Where there's love to find

A hit today is tomorrow's debt

And yesterday's a cancelled check

You do your best, careful not to fall

Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

(repeat bridge 1)

Chorus:

Get a grip ---g-g-get a grip on it

Try to stay on it, baby (try it for me)

Get a grip --- don't let up on it

Gotta get on it, baby

G-g-get a grip (to fade)
