I Want Out Lyrics

 (N. Geraldo, B. Steinberg)
 (from the album "Get Nervous" [1982])

Ooh babe you got a hold on me, I can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key and I, and I kept quiet

Yeah babe you got a hold on me, I didn't wanna be alone
I stayed with you 'cause I really believed that I couldn't make it on my own

But I'm gettin' a little bit smarter, gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about, I want out, I want out

Ooh babe your lovin' _told_ on me, I couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me baby can't you see, but I wasn't seein' clear before

Now I'm gettin' a little bit smarter, gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
'Cos I know what you're all about, I want out, I want out

(Solo)

Ooh babe you got a hold on me, I didn't wanna be alone
I stayed with you 'cause I really believed that I couldn't make it, I want out

Ooh babe you got a hold on me - I want out  (repeats 8x)
