Get A Message

The preacher talked to me and he smiled, Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile. Now for once in your life you're alone, But you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone." I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on. I told him I'm in no hurry, But if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry. And for once in my life I'm alone, And I've got to let her know just in time before I go. I've just go to get a message to you, hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on. Well I laughed but that didn't hurt, And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt. Now I'm crying but deep down inside, Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die. I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.

I've always thought of you as my brick wall Built like an angel, six feet tall Six feet tall And when you go away, I start to weep You're too expensive girl to keep Isn't it sweet? I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights, living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been Take my independent point of view I've loosened my wallet, thanks to you Don't do me any favors Hark, the herald angels sting Please repair my broken wing Why won't you look at me? I live and breathe I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been I don't know where to begin, living in sin How can we talk? Look where you've been I've counted the nights of living in sin How can we talk? Look where we've been (We can make it all the time, to live or die) (We can make it all the time, to live or die) Living on peanuts ain't my scene A shame that word rhymes with "mean"

Did you get my message? The one I left While I was trying to condense everything That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess And make all of my stresses go bye-bye Did you get my message? You didn't, I guess 'Cuz if you did, you would have called me with your sweet intent And we could give it a rest, 'stead of beating my breast And makin' all of the pressure go sky-high Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send Do they bend? Do they break from the flight that they take And come back together again? With a whole new meaning And a brand new sense completely unrelated to the one I sent Did you get my message? Oh, did you get my message Oh, did you get my message, yeah? Uh oh, where did it go? Must have bypassed your phone And flown right outta the window Oh well, how can I tell? Should I call the operator? Or maybe she know the info Or whether or not, if my message you got Was too much or a lot to reply, why not try this for a fact Or should you ever come back I'd relax and be relieved of all my panic attacks Well, did you get my message? And did you get my message? D-d-didja-didja-didja now Did you get my message, yeah? So, do do do do do do, you now Do do do do do do Did you get my message? The one that I left While I was trying to condense everything that I meant Now the moment is passed, not much sand in the glass And I'm standing to lose my mind Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send Do they bend? Do they break from the flight that they take And come back together again? With a whole new meaning To the matter of our love's defense Atleast be sympathetic to the time I spent Did you get my message? Oh, did you get my message? D-d-didja-didja-didja now Did you get my message, yeah? Did you get my message? No, I didn't hear a word, baby Did you get my message? No, I'm not gonna believe your lies anymore Come on and answer the question now I don't hear a thing from you and you keep sayin' you're callin' Did you get the message, now? That I want to get back with you? Did you get my message, love that I want to reconnect with you? No, no Did you get the message, sugar, now? I did not hear one thing, you say you sent to me Why didn't you get my message? Why don't you answer the phone?
