Get Him Back lyrics

[Verse 1]

One man, he disappoint me

He give me the gouge and he take my glee

Now every other man I see

Remind me of the one man who disappoint me

[Chorus 1]

Wait till I get him back

He won't have a back to scratch

Yeah, keep turning that chin

And you will see my face

As I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

[Post-Chorus]

So I say, and on I go

To another one who disappoint me so

[Verse 2]

Next one up, a contemptible snob

He lived to put things in their place

He did a commendable job

He put himself so low

He can hardly even look me in the face

[Chorus]

So wait till I get him back

He won't have a back to scratch

Yeah, keep turning that chin

And you will see my face

As I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, he made my blood just burn

I flipped so far, I thought that I would not return

[Verse 3]

But the last one I had who was getting my hopes up

I might've been a little fast to dismiss

I think he let me down, when he didn't disappoint me

He didn't always guess right, but he usually got my gist

[Chorus]

So wait till I get him back

I'm gonna bring him home and I'll watch him unpack

Yeah, keep turning that chin

And you will see my face is fixed on the one

I'm gonna get back

[Outro]

I'm gonna get him back, I am

I'm gonna get him back

I really am

I'm gonna get him back

I'm gonna get him back

I am, I'm gonna get him back, oh yeah
