Get the Picture? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go, go away, far, far away, be on your way
Please leave me be, let me be me once again
Out of sight, out of mind
And I'm going out of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
And my heart and my head
May be black, but we ain't quite dead yet

[Chorus]
I'm hanging up now
So there ain't no use in you hanging around
I'm hanging up now
You get the picture

[Verse 2]
There was a day when I, I could say anything
But you came to judge, you held a grudge all the way
And my time was all mine anytime
And now it's mine, all mine

[Chorus]
And I'm hanging up now
So there ain't no use in you hanging around
I'm hanging up now
You better get the picture
[Bridge]
I gotta hand to you, though, you took me under
I guess you never really know until its over
I was happy going mad, girl
I thought you were mine but I was had, it's such a dirty world

[Verse 1]
Go, go away, far, far away, be on your way
Please leave me be, let me be me once again
Out of sight, out of mind
And I'm going out of mine

[Chorus]
So I'm hanging up now
There ain't any use in hanging around
I'm hanging up now
So don’t let me catch you hanging around

[Outro]
I'm hanging up now
I'm hanging up now
I'm hanging up now
You’ll get the picture

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
