I just gotta get through this
I just gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta make it, gonna make, gonna make it through
Said I'm gonna get through this
I gotta take, gotta take my mind off you
Give me just a second and I'll be all right
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight
When your love is pouring like the rain
I close my eyes and it's gone again
When will I get the chance to say I love you
I pretend that you're already mine
Then my heart ain't breaking every time
I look into your eyes
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
God, God gotta help me get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
I gotta make it, gonna make, gonna make it through
Said I'm gonna get through this
I'm gonna get through this
I gotta take, gotta take my mind off you
Give me just a second and I'll be all right
Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
Just another day and then I'll hold you tight
When your love is pouring like the rain
I close my eyes and it's gone again
When will I get the chance to say I love you
I pretend that you're already mine
Then my heart ain't breaking every time
I look into your eyes
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
If only I could get through this
I just gotta get through this
God, God gotta help me get through this
If only I could get through this
I just gotta get through this
God, God gotta help me get through this
If only I could get through this
I just gotta get through this
God, God gotta help me get through this
I just gotta get through this
I just gotta get through this
I just gotta get through this

this song got stuck in my head cause it was on the Lowe's playlist some years ago. It always helped me get through my rough days cause of how upbeat it was.

One of the best garage tracks in history.

20 YEARS LATER STILL A HIT
SKILSAW WORKER
Guy pulls up next to me in front of the local liquor store, I can hear the beat of this song and the nostalgia hits me. I wait till he comes back out of the store. I say kinda loudly “hey you like listening to music like that?” He looks up and with a pause, I say Me Too! He smiles and says “it brings back all the good memories” and then let me know it’s Daniel Bedingfield.
Thanks for the info dude!

I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head. I have listened to it over and over for more than an hour and a half so far and it is still just as incredible as it was the first time I heard it nearly 20 years ago! Truly AWESOME!😻
