We Gotta Get Outa This Place Songtext
von The Animals

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain′t no use in me tryin', no
Now my girl, you′re so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it baby

Watched my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin′ grey
He′s been workin' and slavin′ his life away, I know it baby he's been (Yeah!)
Workin′ so hard, baby (Yeah!)
Every day and night, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
I've been workin′ too, I know (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there′s a better life for me and you


Now my girl you′re so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it baby
Watched my daddy in bed a-dyin′
I see his hair' been turnin′ grey, yeah
He's been workin′ and slavin' his life every day
I know it, he's been workin′ so hard, babe (Yeah!)
I′ve been workin' too (Yeah!)
Everything I got for you, baby
Whoa! (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

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

I know it baby
Believe me, somewhere, somehow

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
Believe me baby, somewhere
I know it
You know it too, baby
