Lyrics

The Business

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.

So long, so long

Going back to the nine to five

So long, so long

So much for keeping the dream alive

I waited so long

But silence, it gets so loud

Wish I knew what I know now

So I say

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna give up, give up, give up

Gotta let it go

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna get out, get out, get out

I'm givin' up

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna show up, show up, show up

Where you need me

I'm ready, ready now

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

So long, so long

I'm going back where I belong

So long, so long

C'est la vie, say that life goes on

And I waited so long

But the silence, it got so loud

I wish I knew what I know now

So I say

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna give up, give up, give up

Gotta let it go

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna get out, get out, get out

I'm givin' up

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna show up, show up, show up

Where you need me

I'm ready, ready now

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

So the joke's on me

Yeah, the joke's on me

So I say

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna give up, give up, give up

Gotta let it go

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna get out, get out, get out

I'm givin' up

(I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready)

I'm gonna show up, show up, show up

Where you need me

I'm ready, ready now

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business

I'm gonna give up the business
