[Chorus]

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhhh

[Verse 1]

When I was a child

Worried drove me wild

I was painted bad by my own shadows

Like a train off his rails

I was always chasing my tails

The only place it lead me to was sorrow

I never saw the simple fact

This is how I realized

[Chorus ]

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhh

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhh

[Verse 2]

The word going round

From Memphis to my hometown

Happiness is just around the corner

I’ve followed that wild goose

But it only tightened my loose

Told em over how I was immortal

I don’t know all the facts

But this is how I realized

[Chorus]

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhh

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhh

[Bridge]

Times up misery

Tryna get the best of me

Times up misery

Tryna get the best of me

Times up misery

Tryna get the best of me

Times up misery

Tryna get the best of me

[Chorus]

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhh

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Baby don’t get it twisted

You gotta get loose to get lifted

Ohhh
