Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, you know how it is, wake up feelin' blue
And everything that could be wrong is, including you
Black clouds and rain and pain in your head
And all you want to do is stay in bed
[Verse 2]
But if you do that, you'll be missin' the world
Because it doesn't stop turnin', whatever you heard
If you do that, you'll be missin' the world
You have to get up, get out, and get gone!
[Verse 3]
Yeah
Talk to me
Talk
[Verse 4]
Yeah, you know how it is, wake up feelin' green
Sick as a dog, and six times as mean
You don't want to sing, you don't want to play
You don't want to swing, you don't want to sway
All you want to do is nothing on a day like today
[Verse 5]
But if you do that, you'll be missin' the world
Because it doesn't stop turning, whatever you heard
If you do that, you'll be missin' the world
You have to get up, get out, and get gone!
[Verse 6]
Yeah, get up, get out, and have some fun
You have to get up, get out, and get gone!
Yeah, get up, get out, and get it on
Get up, get out, and get gone!
You have to get up, get out, and get livin'
Yeah, this is really it
[Verse 7]
So you know how it is, wake up feelin' gray
Nothing much to think, and nothing much to say
Don't want to talk, don't want to try
Don't want to think, don't want to know
Who, what, where, when, or why
[Verse 8]
Oh, but you do that, and you're missing the world
Yeah, it's happenin' right now, whatever you heard
You do that, and you're missin' the world
You have to get up, get out, and get gone!
[Verse 9]
Yeah, get up, get out, and have some fun
You have to get up, get out, and get gone
Yeah, get up, get out, and get it on
Get up, get out, and get gone
You have to get up, get out, and get livin'
Yeah, this is really it
