LYRICS FOR "Get up John"
I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong
Come on back
Back where you belong
I've rambled over town
To find that I can't win
Come on back and pick me up again
Now
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby
Of all the other gals I've known
There's none to take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So
Let's take another round
With you here by my side
Babe
Now
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby
Now
(If I lose)
Let me lose
(Let me lose)
I don't care
(I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm tryin' to win a dime?
My baby
