Partridge Family We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
(Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil)
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is due
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is due
See my daddy in bed a dyin'
See his hair a turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin', yeah, every day
Slavin' his life away
He's been workin', babe, he's been
Workin', work work, work
We gotta get out of this place
If it's 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 it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
