We Gotta Get out of This Place

Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

[Verse 1]
In this dirty, old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

[Verse 2]
Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty
And there's one thing I know is true:
You'll be dead before your time is due
I know, I know

[Verse 3]
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See your hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know, I know, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) I've been workin' hard, too, baby
(Yeah) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah

[Chorus]
We gotta gеt out of this place
If it's the last thing we еver do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

[Post-Chorus]
I know it

[Verse 4]
Now, my girl, you're so young and pretty
Yeah, there's one thing I know is true:
You'll be dead before your time is due

[Verse 5]
I watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
See your hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know

[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah) Oh, he's been workin' so hard
(Yeah) Yeah, every night and day
(Yeah) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah

[Chorus]
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

[Post-Chorus]
That's right
I know it

[Chorus]
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you

[Outro]
That's right
Believe me
You know it's true
You feel it, too
