Jim Stafford Lyrics
"Got Down"

Got down too far
Can't get it up
I got down too far
Ooh Lord, can't get it up, baby
Well, I want you to know I don't want you to go
And it hurts me so much to say
That I'm down too far
Looks like I'm down to stay, yeah

Got in too far
And I can't get out
I got in too far, mama
Ain't no way I'm gettin' out
Well, I'm tryin' to do good like my mama said I should
But I must have gone astray
Now I'm in too far
Looks like I'm in to stay

Got down (Get it on up)
Got down (Just get it on up)
Got down (Better get it on up)
Got down (Get it on up)

I try to stay on the straight and narrow way
But I must have skipped the track
Yes, I've gone too far now
Looks like I ain't comin' back

Got down (Get it on up)
Got down (Just get it on up)
Got down (Better get it on up)
Got down (Get it on up)

I try to do good like my mama said I should
But I must have gone astray
Well, I'm down so far
Looks like I'm down to stay
