Get Ahold of Yourself
Unraveling Love's Grip: A Call to Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Get ahold of yourself baby
Encouraging someone to regain control and composure.
Can't you see that you're going crazy
Highlighting the person's deteriorating mental state.
People are talking and I don't mean maybe
Others are discussing the situation, indicating it's noticeable.
Get ahold of yourself baby
Reiteration of the need to regain composure.
You follow her all around this town
Describing following someone who mistreats you.
Everybody knows that she put you down
Public knowledge about mistreatment received from that person.
You say that someday she'll be your bride
Holding onto hope for a future with the person mistreating you.
What's the matter with your pride
Questioning why self-respect isn't a priority.
Why don't you wake up and face the facts
Advice to confront the harsh reality.
That woman gave you the axe
Indication that the person has been rejected.
She doesn't care if you're dead or alive
Emphasizing the person's indifference to your well-being.
Cut your losses now and you'll survive
Suggesting to cut losses to move forward.
Why don't you wake up and face the facts
Repeating advice to face the truth.
That woman gave you the axe
Reiteration of rejection by the person.
She doesn't care if you're dead or alive
Reemphasizing the person's lack of concern.
Cut your losses now and you'll survive
Encouragement to let go for personal well-being.
Honey I can see that you're a nervous wreck
Observation of the person's distressed state.
I try to love you but what the heck
Expressing difficulty in loving due to the situation.
Haunted by the memory of a former love
Haunted by memories of past love with this person.
You still call her your turtle dove
Referencing the person as a beloved but lost.
Why don't you wake up and face the facts
Repeated advice to confront the truth.
That woman gave you the axe
Restating the person's rejection.
She doesn't care if you're dead or alive
Reiterating the person's apathy.
Cut your losses now and you'll survive
Encouraging to move on for self-preservation.
Listen up baby don't you understand
Urging the person to comprehend the situation.
I could be your woman, you could be my man
Offering companionship if the person lets go of the past.
Can't sleep at night from thinking of you
Difficulty in sleeping due to thoughts about the person.
Tell sweet baby what you gonna do
Asking the person about their decision regarding the situation.
Got to get ahold of yourself baby
Reiteration of advice to regain composure.
