Get a Hold of Myself Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra

In the night I can carry on ′til the dawn
In the morning sun comes shining
I'm sorry that I made you cry
But the only world that I had known was leavin′ out life alone

I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself

Please, believe me, now my life has changed
I'm so sorry that I caused you pain
It's over
I′m sorry that I put you down
But my life was wrong and now I know
I can′t stand to be alone


I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself

(Do you believe?)
I was so wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Do you believe?)
I was so wrong

Light is fadin', slippin′ into night
I don't hear you and you′re gone from sight
Oh, darlin'
I′m sorry that I've done you wrong
But I've seen the life through different eyes
And darlin′, now I realise

I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
You know I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself


(Do you believe?)
I was so wrong, yeah, yeah
(Do you believe?)
I was so wrong, yeah
Oh, yeah

I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
You know I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself

I gotta stop
Take a grip of myself
I gotta stop
Get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Take a grip of myself

I gotta stop
Oh, get a hold of myself
I gotta stop
Get a little grip of myself
I gotta stop
