Over The Hump - Curtis Mayfield

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
