Chorus (up)
Ain’t gonna let you stay low now, gonna go with the flow now
Gonna lift your spirit higher, set this place on fire.
Don’t need to perspire, gonna take things a little lighter,
Gonna find out what got you down ya’ll, gonna drive that out of town now.
Gonna find out what is ailing you. Gonna find out who is tailing you
Gonna find out what got you sickly. Gonna drive that outta here quickly
Gonna find your affliction.. Gonna give it an eviction.
What going on with your serenity.. We’re gonna find a remedy.
Gonna find out what is your malady, gonna restore some vitality
You know you ain’t alone no. Gonna get back in your done tknow
It might seem incurable.. You’ll find that you’re more durable.
Might seem psychosomatic.. Don’t be so dramatic.
