"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" lyrics
(originally by the Animals)
(from "Honey Don't!" soundtrack)
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're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my momma in bed a-dyin'
Watch her hair been turnin' grey
She's been workin' and slavin' her 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're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my momma in bed a-dyin'
Watch her hair been turnin' grey
She's been workin' and slavin' her life away
You know she's been livin' so long
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(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
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Somehow I know it
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
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too
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're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my momma in bed a-dyin'
Watch her hair been turnin' grey
She's been workin' and slavin' her 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're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my momma in bed a-dyin'
Watch her hair been turnin' grey
She's been workin' and slavin' her life away
You know she's been livin' so long
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(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
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Somehow I know it
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
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too
