Gonna Get Over You Songtext / Lyric

Goodbye

Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn't I?

Laying down a law that I live by

Well, maybe next time



I've got a thick tongue

Brimming with the words that go unsung

I simmer then I burn for a someone

The wrong one



And I tell myself to let the story end

That my heart will rest in someone else's hand

But my 'Why not me?' philosophy began

And I said



Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday






Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday



Maybe

It's a vicious little word that can slay me

Keep me where I'm hurting, you make me

Hang from your hands



But no more

I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door

If I'm aching at the thought of you, what for?

That's not me anymore



And I'm not the girl that I intend to be

But I dare you, darlin', just you wait and see

But this time not for you, but just for me

I said



Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday



Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday



Say it's coming soon

Someday without you

All I can do

Is get me past the ghost of you



Wave goodbye to me

I won't say I'm sorry

I'll be alright

Once I find the other side of someday



Ooh, how am I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday



Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright

Just not tonight

But someday
