(Kevin Spencer/Nidra Beard/William Shelby)

[Chorus A:]
I'm getting over
I can't let nothing bring me down
'cause I'm getting over
I guess my time has come around

the one most likely to succeed
was always someone else
it was never me
but I was the type to take it slow
believing in myself
things are starting to show

I've paid the cost
but I had to be my own boss
those I couldn't reached before
now they're knocking hard on my door
now that I'm winning
seems like there's no ending
'cause I'm just starting to grow
there's no mistaking

[Chorus B:]
I'm getting over
I won't let nothing hold me back
I'm getting over
now that I'm on the right track

I felt that there would come a day
knew that lady luck would give the right of way
'cause now I'm in the driver's seat
with love any woman that's only right for me

with eyes of fire
bursting with desire
(this girl's so fine)
they told me straight out
(I've got to make you mine)
I can't believe it
find I must have been dreaming
and when her lips touched mine
must be my time

[repeat Chorus A]

and this time I'm gonna make it
I'm getting over, getting over
there's no mistake I'm getting over
(getting over)
that's what I'm all about (getting over)

(getting over)
(make no mistake, I'm getting over)
(getting over)
(getting o-o-over)
(getting over)
(make no mistake, I'm getting over)
(getting over)
that's what I'm all about
(getting o-o-over)

I've paid the cost
but I had to be my own boss
those I couldn't reached before
now they're knocking hard on my door
now that I'm winning
seems like there's no ending
'cause I'm just starting to grow
oooh hoo (oooh)

[repeat Chorus A]

and this time I'm gonna make it
I'm getting over, getting over
there's no mistake I'm getting over
(getting over)
that's what I'm all about
ooh ooh

(getting over)
(getting over)
