We Gotta Get Out of This Place (February 6 1966) Songtext
von The Animals

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain′t no use in trying

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

Watch my daddy in bed and dyin'
Watch his hair been turning grey
He's been working and slaving his life away
Oh yes, I know it

He′s been working so hard
I′ve been working too babe
Every night and day
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If its 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

Watch my daddy in bed and dyin'
Watch his hair been turning grey
He′s been working and slaving his life away
I know

He's been working so hard
I've been working too babe
Every day baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there′s a better life
For me and you


We gotta get out of this place
If its 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
I know it baby
You know it too
