Over the Hump

Bunny Sigler

[Chorus]
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump

[Verse 1]
Some of us never do relax
Never leave 'til the job is done
Staying uptight, ducking heart attacks
When you ought to be out having fun
Can't keep your nose to the grindstone
Twenty-four hours a day
To relieve the ache, you must take a break
And get over to get out from under

[Chorus]
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
Get over, get over, get over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump

[Verse 2]
Don't sit there and rationalize
Trying hard to depend on it
The message is right before your eyes
Afraid you're gonna wind up and enjoy it
Trying to keep up with the Joneses
Taking no time off to play
You'll be [?] falling on your knees
Six feet under, let's get out from under

[Chorus]
You gotta get over
You gotta get ov-, over
Over and over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump
Over over over over over over

[Chorus]
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
Get over, get over, get over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump
Get over, get over

[Outro]
Get over
I got to get over
Get over the hump
I got to get over
Get over, get over, get over, get over the hump
