[Verse 1: Bobby Brown]
I need a peace of mind, I'm stressed out today
It's about that time to make that get away
Dealing with the people I deal with every day
Got to find a place I can hide away

[Pre-Chorus: Bobby Brown]
So I can be away from the madness
Far from the noise and the darkness
It's not too late, there's gotta be a way
For me to escape all this nonsense
I've got to get away

[Chorus: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(I've got to get away)
I've gotta get away, I'vе gotta get away
(I've got to get away)
I'vе gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(I've got to get away, yeah)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(Bust it)

[Verse 2: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
They try to run my life but that's the way I live
Do what I wanna do, 'cause it's my prerogative
People always trippin' about the things I say
But I'm living for the future and I'm doing things my way

[Pre-Chorus: Bobby Brown]
So why does the world just keep on doggin' me?
I have to leave it all behind
'Cause there's gotta be a way
For me to escape all this nonsense
Get away

[Chorus: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(I've got to get away)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(I've got to get away)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(I've got to get away, yeah)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away

[Refrain: Bobby Brown]
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to
I've got to, I've got to, I've got to, I've got to

[Chorus: Teddy Riley]
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Teddy Riley]
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away

The King of New Jack Swing. Bobby Brown has never been afraid to push the envelope – musically, artistically or socially. His sheer bravery and brash honesty are the very characteristics that make him “Bobby Brown” – a pioneering entertainer with over three decades of experience. From his successful debut in New Edition, the boy band prototype for groups like New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men and the Backstreet Boys, to his multi-platinum career as a solo artist, Brown has left a mark on the music industry that can never be erased.
