I can’t tell temptation from chance
You are gonna have to lead me a dance
You are stepping so treacherously
It makes me wonder why it’s gettin’ to me

Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl

I can’t tell patience from fear
You are gonna have to take it from here
I like the way you carry on
It makes me want to sing this song

Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Gotta get a grip on you
Gotta get a grip on you,
Gotta get a grip on you
Gotta get a grip on you

You know I can’t tell temptation from chance
You are gonna have to lead me a dance
You are stepping so treacherously
It makes me wonder why it’s gettin’ to me

Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Come to grips with you
Gotta get a grip on you,
Come to grips with you
Gotta get a grip on you
Come to grips with you
