Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
And not change a single thing
Even when I was to blame
For the heartache and the pain
That I caused throughout my years
How I love to be your man
Through the laughter and the tears
[Chorus]
Situation, no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
[Verse 2]
Now I'm fully grown
And I know where it's at
Somehow I stay thin
While the other guys got fat
[Verse 3]
All the chances that I've blown
And the times that I've been down
I didn't get too high
Kept my feet on the ground
[Chorus]
Situation, no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here (Yes, that's, delightful, delightful)
[Bridge]
Rush for a change of atmosphere
Mmm, I wish I could sing like that
Not everything's singing, you know
The only important thing these days is
Rhythm and melody
Rhythm
And melody
[Bridge]
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
I count the crowd, is it time to laugh?
[Verse 4]
And of all my friends
You've been the best to me
Soon, will be the day
When I would pay you handsomely
[Verse 5]
Broken hearts are hard to mend
I know I've had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I'm not there
[Chorus]
Situation, no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
[Chorus]
Situation, no win
Rush for a change of atmosphere
I can't go on, so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here
[Outro]
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta here
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta here
