Get Back Lyrics

Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson Arizona
For some California grass

Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back Jo Jo

Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
You better go on back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back
Yeah

Sweet Loretta Modern
Thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her
Said she had it coming
But she gets it while she can
See Rod Stewart Live
Get tickets as low as $52
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back! You better get on back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo Jo
Get back! Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Ah yeah, ow
Get back, Loretta
You're mama's waitin'
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Ow Ow
Ow Ow Ow
Get back

Me and you
Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson Arizona
For some California grass

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
