We Gotta Get Out Of This Place Lyrics - The Partridge Family

In this dirty old part of the city, 

Where the sun refuse to shine, 

People tell me there ain't no use in tryin' 

My little girl, you're so young and pretty, 

And one thing I know is true, 

You're gonna die before your time is due 

We gotta get out of this place 

If it's the last thing we ever do, 

We gotta get out of this place, 

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

My little girl, you're so young and pretty, 

And one thing I know is true, 

You're gonna die before your time is due 

See my daddy in bed a-dyin' 

See his hair a-turnin' grey 

He's been workin and slavin his life away, 

I know he's been workin', yeah every day 

Slavin' his life away, 

He's been workin', babe, he's been 

Workin, work work, work, 

We gotta get out of this place 

If it's the last thing we ever do, 

We gotta get out of this place, 

Girl, there's a better life for me and you
