I should have listened to what you told me I didn't know you were wise You said "you better watch out! He's gonna own you" I didn't know what the pain Would be more than the gain Now you're on your own Tell me, how does it feel? And i walked this rope for you Laid down my life for you (chorus) Get up, get up, get up You've got to get up Get up, get up, get up You've got to get up So you thought you had him figured Just to find you were wrong And the memories that you have now Well they're all done You wanted to believe That what you get is what you see Well i'm on my own I know just how it feels (chorus) Get up, get up, get up You've got to get up Get up, get up, get up You've got to get up I walked this rope for you Laid down my life for you
