GOT TO GIT UP

Music & Lyrics Written By Howard Axtell

Getting’ knocked out when put on the gloves
You drop to your knees, when you fall in love
When you’re flat on your back and you realize
There’s nowhere to run and no place to hide

I’d take a bullet, meant for you
But it’s the last thing, that I want to do
You say you only want to have some fun
Then I find out I’m not the only one.

Gotta get up, shake it off, when you get knocked down
You gotta get up, shake it off, when you hit the ground
You gotta get up, shake it off, when the day is done
Cause life’s too short to waste, when you’re having fun

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

I’ve been hanging out, under the gun
I need shake it off and have some fun
When it don’t pay, to take it any more
Don’t be surprised, when I hit the door

Gotta get up, when you get knocked down
You gotta get up, when you hit the ground
You gotta get up, when the day is done
Cause life’s too short when you’re having fun

Gotta get up, shake it off, when you get knocked down
You gotta get up, shake it off, when you hit the ground
You gotta get up, shake it off, when the day is done
Cause life’s too short to waste, when you’re having fun

Gonna git up Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

Gotta get up, shake it off, when you get knocked down,
Gotta get up, shake it off, when you hit the ground
You gotta get up and shake it off, when the day is done
Life too short to waste,
Gotta get up! Yeah shake it off
Git up… shake it off!
