[Verse 1]
Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now, I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I got to get out the door
If I don't do it now, I won't get anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
You try to criticize my drive
If I lose, I don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game, it's how you play
And if I fall, I get up again now
[Chorus]
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
[Verse 2]
Got past my first mistake
I'll only give as much as I can take
You're never going to see me standin' still
I'm never going to stop 'til I get my fill
[Pre-Chorus]
It doesn't matter who you are
It's what you do that takes you far
And if at first you don't succeed
Here's some advice that you should heed
[Chorus]
You get up again, over and over
You get up again, over and over
You get up again, over and over
You get up again, over and over
[Bridge]
I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat, oh
And I'll go out in the street, yeah
And I will shout it again
From the highest mountain
[Breakdown]
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Shout it, shout it, shout it
[Chorus]
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
[Verse 3]
Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now, I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I got to get out the door
If I don't do it now, I won't get anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
You try to criticize my drive
If I lose, I don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game, it's how you play
And if I fall, I get up again now
[Chorus]
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
[Bridge]
I'm not afraid to say I hear a different beat, oh
And I'll go out in the street, yeah
And I will shout it again
From the highest mountain
[Interlude]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Shout it, shout it, shout it, ah
[Chorus]
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Hurry up, I just can't wait
I gotta do it now, I can't be late
I know I'm not afraid I got to get out the door
If I don't do it now, I won't get anymore
