[Verse 1]
You better stop and get a hold of yourself
You put me down for somebody else
But one day you'll see, your mistake
Is gonna cause you pain and heartaches

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you better stop the things you do
Or somebody's gonna put the hurt on you
Hey, hey, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, get a hold of yourself (Get a hold of yourself)
(Get a hold of yourself, baby)
(Get a hold of yourself)

[Verse 2]
Now baby, stop and get a hold of yourself
No need running to somebody else
Now you left searching, but you'll never find
Another love, girl, that's as good as mine

[Pre-Chorus]
You bettеr make up your mind
'Cause therе'll never be a next time
Hey, hey, yeah
[Chorus]
Get a hold of yourself (Get a hold of yourself)
(Get a hold of yourself, baby)
(Get a hold of yourself)

[Ad-libs over instrumental break]
Woo-hoo
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
So honey, stop (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
And get a hold of yourself (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
I want you (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
And nobody else (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
If you'll just stop running (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
From guy to guy (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Now we can be happy (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Until the day that we die (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you don't stop the things you do
You're just gonna lose the love that's true
Hey, hey, yeah

[Chorus]
Now, get a hold of yourself (Get a hold of yourself)
(Get a hold of yourself, baby) Get a hold of yourself
(Get a hold of yourself)
[Outro/Chorus]
Get a hold of yourself (Get a hold of yourself, baby)
Get it together (Get a hold of yourself)
Through all kind of weather (Get a hold of yourself, baby)
You're my love, baby (Get a hold of yourself)
Do it for me (Get a hold of yourself)
