Tryin' To Get Over You

(album: The Poet II - 1984)

I'm trying to get over you (trying to get over you)
Trying to get over you (trying to get over you)
That's what I'm trying to do girl (trying to get over you)
I'm trying to get over you baby (trying to get over you)

Woah (oh baby)
Oh (oh baby)
My baby (oh baby)
Oh, ah (oh baby)

Every day
I try and play my part so well
But every time, I hide behind the lines
Oh, it never, never fails
Mmm-mm

Baby, baby
I'm just acting like I'm not affected by your leaving at all
When this curtain falls, stage is gone
Somehow I'm left standing on my own
(Oh baby) baby, (oh baby) baby, (oh baby) baby, (oh baby) baby
Would you be my roller, baby?

I'm still, I'm still (I'm still)
I'm trying to get over you (trying to get over you)
Yes I am
The fact of the matter is
It seems to be the hardest thing for me to do
I'm trying to get over you (oh baby)

Just off Broadway
The girl went her way
And, oh, I went mine
My leading lady
Oh, she set the stage
But somehow she left it all behind
Mhmm

Baby, baby, how did I get this crazy, I don't know
When the stage is gone
Somehow I have to face the truth
And every time I'm left standing on my own, saying these words
Woah (oh baby), woah (oh baby), oh

I'm still (I'm still tryin')
Trying to get over you, yes I am
Somehow
It seems to be the hardest thing for me to do
Woo

I wonder would y'all mind if I took out a little time to talk a while
'Cause I understand, I understand
That everybody needs and everybody wants
Someone to love in some shape, form, or fashion
But it seems to be so hard to walk away
Especially when you leave on your own
And you find yourself asking the question
"Did I do right? Did I do right? Did I do right?"
Oh mhmm, yeah, yeah

All I want you to to do is just take outta little time
Just to search your heart
(I'm still trying to get over you) and don't be ashamed to stand up
And tell the world that you've been through some changes in your life
There's some good living and a lot of sense

It seems to be the hardest thing to do
But I keep on trying (I'm still trying to)
Trying (I'm trying to get over you)
Yeah, baby

(It seems to be hardest thing to do)
You know it is
Fact, fact of the matter is
(I'm still trying to)
(I'm trying to get over you)
