Get a grip, get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip, don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Get a grip, get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip, don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Floating, so high above the ground
Playing between the sound of perilous boundaries
Seek out confusing surroundings all around

Working, to gain some higher ground
Then there's a stranger
Keeps a-calling inside of my head
Wonderin' when there will come a time
The power of your love is all I want to find

A hit today is tomorrow's debt
And yesterday's a cancelled check
You do your best, careful not to fall
Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

Get a grip, get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip, don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Get a grip, get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby
Get a grip, don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

Laying, the tracks of endless sound
The cost is high but I got to do it anyhow
Total, control is on my mind
It feels so right, I know it must be a sign

Working, to gain some higher ground
Then there's a stranger
Keeps a-calling inside of my head
Wonderin' when there will come a time
The power of your love is all I want to find

Ooh wanna find, wanna find love
I wanna find love
Wanna know. wanna know
Where there's love to find

A hit today is tomorrow's debt
And yesterday's a cancelled check
You do your best, careful not to fall
Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

A hit today is tomorrow's debt
And yesterday's a cancelled check
You do your best, careful not to fall
Gotta stay one step ahead of them all

Chorus:
Get a grip g-g-get a grip on it
Try to stay on it, baby (try it for me)
Get a grip, don't let up on it
Gotta get on it, baby

G-g-get a grip
