Get What We Let (Get Over It)



Some people just don't get it get it get it
Only happens if we let it let it let it
Get over it get get get over it
I said get over it
Look back--miss now
Shows lack somehow
And when you think you've finally got it down
You're left standing in the spotlight lookin' like a clown
Everybody knows
Your indiscretion shows
Some people just don't get it get it get it
Only happens if we let it let it let it
Yo I say
Don't be that way
Get over it get get get over it
I said get over it
The past--it's gone
Take from now on
And when you see you've built your cage
Don't look to me to soothe your rage
Everybody sees
You've fallen to your knees
Some people just don't get it get it get it
Only happens if we let it let it let it
Get over it get get get over it
I said get over it
Look back--miss now
Shows lack somehow
The past--it's gone
Take from now on
Some people just don't get it get it get it
Only happens if we let it let it let it
No matter what we see
Do just what we do
It doesn't bother me
To know it bothers you
Get get get over it

Rowine Conley

Writing is not something I do--it's something I am. I have been a wordsmith since before I could write. I have now written 2 novels, 6 children's books, several short stories, and boxes full of poetry. I am now disabled but I still have a day job. I have 7 sisters, a dog and 2 cats (one has only 3 legs), A daughter, numerous "God-daughters", A son, and a few "God-sons". I am Extremely Biblical though I don't really follow organized religion. God is my life and I have truly been blessed-For God By God...Peace Out__Gypsy Row more…
