I've Gotta Get A Message To You Lyrics

(Jian on Lead)
Well, the preacher turned to me
and he smiled.
He said, "Come and walk with me,
come and walk one more mile."

Now, for once in your life, you're alone,
and you ain't got a dime.
There's no time for the phone.

I told him I'm in no hurry, 
and if I broke her heart,
then please tell her I'm sorry.
Now for once in my life I'm alone,
but I've gotta let her know,
one more time before I go.

(All)
I've just gotta get a message to you.
Hold on. Hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.
Hold On. Hold on.

(female voice)
Swing it.

(deep male voice)

(solo)

(All)
I've just gotta get a message to you.
Hold on. Hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.
Hold On. Hold on.

(Jian)
Well, I laughed, but that didn't hurt,
and it's only her love
that keeps me wearing this smirk.
Now I'm crying, but deep down inside,
I did it to him, now it's my turn to die.

(All)
I've just gotta get a message to you.
Hold on. Hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.
Hold On. Hold on.

(All - key change)
I've just gotta get a message to you.
Hold on. Hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.
Hold On. Hold on.

(All)
I've just gotta get a message to you.
Hold on. Hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through.
Hold On. Hold on.
