Lyrics

So let's get started

I’m ready to be heard

Before the dear departed

Can have the final word


In a perfect situation

I'd have told you long ago

But now I think it's time

You ought to know


So let me tell you

Right here and now

I’m gonna love you

And I will tell you how


I'll give you my heart

I'll give you my word

And we'll get started now


You're not expected

To stand on hallowed ground

But know you'll be protected

As long as I'm around


To ensure there's no confusion

I would like to make it clear

If you need my help

I promise I’ll be here


So let me tell you

Right here and now

I’m gonna love you

And I will tell you how


I'll give you my heart

I’ll give you my word

And we'll get started now


Get started, let's get started, now

Get started, started, yeah

Get started now, yeah, yeah

Get started yeah

Oh, let's get started, yeah

Get start, don’t, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't start it now

Yeah, get started
