Got To Get You Out Of My Life

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
