[Intro: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
Ooh, hoo, baby
(I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away)
Yeah
(I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away)
Ain't nothin' but the funk, baby
(I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away)
(I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away)
[Verse 1: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
I need a peace of mind, I'm stressed out today
It's about that time to make that get away
(I've gotta 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 darknеss
It's not too late, there's gotta bе 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'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
(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
(That'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
[Bridge: Bobby Brown]
Yo, check the groove
(Ho)
(Ho, ho)
Ted, bring me on back, bring me on back
Dance
There it is, ow
Yeah, yeah
Ow
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've gotta get away
(You know I've got to get away, yeah)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(Hey, hey, hey)
[Bump over second Chorus: Bobby Brown]
Never in my life
Have I ever felt that something just ain't right, baby
Baby
Tired of all this mess, unhappiness
My guess is I've just gotta get away
Gotta get away, yeah, baby
[Outro: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(I don't wanna hurt nobody, baby)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
Gotta get away, baby
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
Please somebody
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
It just don't feel right
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
Baby, I can't sleep at night
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I need a peace of mind
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
Far away from the darkness
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
And the noise
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
I need someone to take me away
Take me away, take me away
Take me away, baby
Peace, B. Brown is outta here
Ghost
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
