The Isley Brothers
Gettin’ Over
[Verse 1]
Movin' up and down the streets
You can catch up with the lowdown
It's gettin' hot, we take the heat
But somehow we're gettin' over now

[Chorus]
Gettin' over, yeah, baby
Everybody's tryin'
To get over, yeah
Everybody's gettin' over
On the mark, are you ready?
'Cause I am, baby
To get over
(Gettin' over)

[Verse 2]
Go for it all, you've got nothin' to lose
Just try to break on through
Pull out the stops and reach for the top
And I'll bet you you'll get over, too

[Chorus]
Gettin' over
Everybody's tryin'
To get over
Everybody's gettin' over
On the mark, are you ready?
'Cause I am, baby
To get over
(Gettin' over)
[Verse 3]
Go for it all, you've got nothin' to lose
Just try to break on through
Pull out the stops and reach for the top
And I'll bet you you'll get over, too

[Chorus]
On the mark, are you ready?
'Cause I am, baby
To get over
Gettin' over

[Outro]
(Gettin' over) Well, I have no doubt
That's what livin' is all about
(Gettin' over) Reaching for the top
Dreaming, pulling out all the stops
(Gettin' over)
Gettin' over
(Gettin' over) Well, I have no doubt
That's what happenin' in the streets
(Gettin' over) Reaching for the top
Though it's hard to take the heat
(Gettin' over)
Gettin' over
Gettin' over
