Curtis Mayfield — Over The Hump

You gotta get over You gotta get over You gotta get over Get over the hump Get over the hump Some of us never do relax Never leave 'til the job is done So 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 You gotta get over You gotta get over Get over, get over, get over Get over the hump Get over the hump Ooh Don't sit there and rationalize Trying too hard to depend on thought Passion is right before your eyes I think you're going to warm up to enjoy it How to keep up with the Joneses Taking no time but to play (?) (?) falling on your knees Six feet under Let's get out from under 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 Some of us never do relax Never leave 'til the job is done So uptight dodging 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 Hand it over To get out from under 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 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
