(Intro)
I. I'm sick a toxic people.
Toxic people in my face. Naw, naw!
Tell a lie an' spread a rumor.
Better off without 'em. So, true. Yeah, yeah!

II. I'm tired a no good lovin'.
No good lovin', he don't stay. Naw, naw!
Come around when I cook supper.
Wish I was his only lover. Yeah, yeah!
(Chorus)
Get a life. Get a life. Get a life away from me.
Throw 'em out. Throw 'em out. Throw 'em out, an' take th' key.
Tick a lock. Tick a lock. Tick a lock, an' I'll be free.
Get a life. Get a life. Get a life. Get a life.
(Turnaround)

Get a life. Get a life. Get a life away from me.

Get a life. Get a life. Get a life. Get a life.
