It looks like these lyrics are missing a verse, between the lines "Now it's time to let ya go if you can't heal or fill me now" and "Sometimes I think maybe we'll patch it all up":
So I asked my momma for her two cents
And then I asked my little sister and I asked my friend
Then I asked my poppa once and I asked him again
Came to a little consensus from all them opinions
That life is too short to be unhappy
And since I know what I'm worth there'll be no settling for dirt
Knowing what I deserve is gold
If I want diamonds then I can't settle for coal
Maybe I was just too strong to let go
Maybe I was just too weak to let it show
Maybe I was just too stubborn to say "No"
But whatever the case I can't take it no more
try2imaginethis, Fatboy Slim did this song on Letterman the other night and it was a lot easier to discern that the backing singers were saying "You've got to slow down". In the album version it sounds like a mix of that and "You've got to get down".
