Lyrics Over The Hump - Curtis Mayfield

Over The Hump

You gotta get over
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump
Some of us never do relax
Never leave 'til the job is done
So uptight ducking heart attacks
When you ought to be out having fun
Can’t keep your nose to the grindstone
Twenty-four hours a day
To relieve the ache, you must take a break
And get over
To get out from under
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
Get over, get over, get over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump
Ooh
Don’t sit there and rationalize
Trying too hard to depend on thought
Passion is right before your eyes
I think you’re going to warm up to enjoy it
How to keep up with the Joneses
Taking no time but to play
(?) falling on your knees
Six feet under
Let’s get out from under
You gotta get over
You gotta get ov-, over
Over and over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump
Over over over over over over
Some of us never do relax
Never leave 'til the job is done
So uptight dodging heart attacks
When you ought to be out having fun
Can’t keep your nose to the grindstone
Twenty-four hours a day
To relieve the ache, you must take a break
Hand it over
To get out from under
You gotta get over
You gotta get over
Get over, get over, get over
Get over the hump
Get over the hump
Get over, get over
Get over
I got to get over
Get over the hump
I got to get over
Get over, get over, get over, get over the hump
