Lyrics

Alright gang, let's start from number one

Let's throw down 'til it's done

Let's get this thing to working

There's no reason to wait

The time is now to start

We all could use the change

Hey, from right now 'til the dawn

We gon' really carry on

We won't stop, not until we get it right

Out to be on the one It's not over 'til it's done

It's going to be so good when we get it right

Got to be willing to try

Even if we get up early and work overtime

Do it 'til you get it right

It's an incredible high

There's no limit to what's in it

It's yours and mine so let's do it 'til we get it, get it right

'Til we get it, oh-oh (make it shout, toss it, turn you inside out)

Do it 'til we get it (stay with it and get it right)

Do it 'til we get it, oh-oh, eh (never stop, we could take it to the top)

Do it 'til we get it (take the time, get it right)

I know just how to do it

To make it really nice

There's no mystery to it

Here's how you get it right

Well, you make it scream, you make it shout

Toss it, turn it inside out

Never quit, stay with it and get it right

Don't give up, never stop

We can take it to the top

If we just take the time to get it right

Oh, don't give up now

We can make it, we can take it right to the top

Hey-hey, and never stop

Honey, let's reach for the sky

If we keep believing, we can never go too high

Yeah, let's give it a try

Come on, let's keep reaching up, believe if it lasts forever

It's never too much no way to get enough

Do it 'til we get it right, even if it takes from morning 'til way into night

We've got to do it 'til we get it, get it right

'Til we get it (make it shout, toss it, turn you inside out) whoa-oh

Do it 'til we get it (stay with it and get it right)

Do it 'til we get it (never stop, we could take it to the top) yeah

Do it 'til we get it (take the time, and get it right)

Do it 'til we get it (get it), and get it right (uh-yeah)

Do it 'til we get it (get it right), and get it right

Do it 'til we get it (get it), get it, baby, oh yeah

Do it 'til we get it (get it) get (get it right), and get it right

Ah, yeah-yeah, ah, yeah-yeah

Do it 'til you get it, 'til you get, get it right (do it 'til)

Move 'til you get it, 'til you get, get it right (do it 'til you)

Do it 'til you get it, 'til you get, get it right (do it 'til)

Move 'til you get it, 'til you get, get it right (ooh)

'Til we get it, yeah (make it shout, toss it, turn you inside out)

Do it 'til we get it (stay with it and get it right)

Do it 'til we get it (never stop, we could take it to the top) yeah, yeah, yeah

Do it 'til we get it (take the time, get it right)

Do it 'til we get it (get it) get it, uh-yeah

Do it 'til we get it (get it right), and get it right, get it right

Do it 'til we get it (get it) oh

Do it 'til we get it (get it) get (get it right), and get it right
