Lyrics

You Get

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You take-a-take and you a-gave-gave-gave what you get

And you'll make, make, make and you'll pretend what you forget

You never take time, no, you'll never take mine

But if you don't, you could be getting, you'll be getting again

If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again

If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again

And would you want, you won't be on time

You cross the street, you got the feelin' on me

You never listened to the reason, you tell to me

You never listened to time, you never build up the times

You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get

You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get

You never listened beyond the time

And on the street, they're all talkin' 'bout the things you should listen

And on the news, they're always excusin'

And when you tell your friends what you think you ever

And, no, there's nothin' like time, to teach you where you have been

And there is nothing like time, to give you things you can need

But when you listen to the rhythm of the movements that's right

And you've been tellin' me, always tell me right

It's not nothin' I know, it's just somethin' outside

You always listen your way, but you take time to get what you want

And you tell me it's time I am wrong

And you will live in this world, and you'll get what you get

And you get what you get, and you will get what you get

But when you tell me there's another time

And when you tell me there's another time

I won't remember what you're tellin' me it's time

I won't forget, I won't forget, I won't forget that it's time

It's time, you get what you get (time)

You get what you get, you get, you get, you get what you get (time)

And you'll know when it's time, you'll get it all on yourself (time)

You'll get it again, you will be getting again (time)

On time, you'll get what you get (time)

Time, you get what you get (time)

When you take time You get what you get, you get what you get
