"Got To Get You Out Of My Life" lyrics

You're holding court in the cocktail bar
Tell all the world just how great you are
Take centre stage like a superstar
You've done it all, there's no doubt
There's no doubt
Your endless stories are just too much
They all involve meeting such-and-such
You must excuse me if I lose touch
You can include me out
Yes, I'm out

Got to get you out of my life
You are not my lover, you can't be my wife
Afraid to turn my back 'cause you're holding a knife
That's not right
We'd better say goodnight

We had a friendship that went way back
But I got tired of always dodging flak
Now you amuse like a heart attack
You put me down and I'm out
Yes, I'm out

I've got to get you out of my life
You are not my lover, you can't be my wife
Afraid to turn my back 'cause you're holding a knife
So much strife
That's right
One on one, we seem to be fine
But when we're in a crowd, you keep losing your mind
Instead of catching up, let's start leaving behind
'Cause it's time
I got you out of my life

Got to get you out of my life
You'll never be my lover and never my wife
Afraid to turn my back 'cause you're holding a knife
That's not nice
No, not nice
I'm trying to keep you out of my hair
This ugly situation is leading nowhere
You're dancing 'round the truth like a young Fred Astaire
I declare
That now I just don't care

I just don't care
I just don't care
I just don't care

Got to get you out of my life
Got to get you out of my life
Got to get you out of my life
Got to get you, I got to get you out of my life
Out of my life
My life, my life
Got to get you out
