[Intro: Bobby Brown]
Ooh, hoo, baby
[Chorus: Bobby Brown, Teddy Riley]
I've gotta get away (Ooh), I've gotta get away
I've gotta get away (Oh), I've gotta get away (Ho, baby)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away (Yeah)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away (Come on, drop it)
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]
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 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'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)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
[Verse 3: Bobby Brown]
Yo, check the groove
B's kicking a flow real smooth
E double S-S with some cess and it's a necessity to move
So get in where ya fit in and let the rhythm snatch ya
Throw a good rhyme so watch what's coming at ya
As I release another Brown batch of jams that slam
And you can't touch so scram
I know you cram to understand who I am
Damn, by the way, can I please get this dance?
And let's not freelance 'cause I'm just getting started
Believe me that was nothing but a Brown party
That's going on and got it going on
Bob and Ted's rated number one, so flow on
And if you're in the house, pump your fists and say "Ho" (Ho)
Come on, say "Ho, 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, unhapiness
My guess is I've just gotta get away
Gotta get away
[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)
I've gotta get away, I've gotta get away
(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
