Hello
I've been hurt so many times
It got to a point
When I decided
I can't do this anymore
I need someone to hold me
I need someone that needs me
I need someone that loves me

You need me to get that shit together
So we can get together
You need me to get that shit together
So we can get together
You need me to (yeah, yeah)
You need me to

You know, we don't have to be dramatic
Just romantic
Do all the little things, little things, little things
That excites me
As your woman
Give me a kiss goodnight
Over the phone
When you're working late
When you're out of town
Tell me how much you need this
'Cause we deserve it
We can be together, but

You need me to get that shit together
So we can get together
You need me to get that shit together
So we can get together
You need me to (yeah, oh-oh, yeah)
You need me to (yeah)
You need me to

Dun know already, cuz

Overall Meaning

Drake's "GET it TOgeTHEr" is a song about the singer's desire to start a meaningful relationship with someone who can genuinely love him, hold him, and need him. He opens up about his past relationships that have left him hurt and jaded, and he's now looking for something that's real and lasting. Drake acknowledges that he needs to make changes in his life and get his acts together for this new relationship to work, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make things work. He believes that they can be together and build something meaningful as long as they both do the little things that excite them, like giving a goodnight kiss over the telephone while working late, being there for each other when one is out of town, and genuinely telling each other how much they need each other.

The chorus of the song is a plea from his potential partner urging Drake to get his act together so they can be together finally. She acknowledges that they both deserve happiness in love, but she needs him to get his life together before they can start. Her plea to Drake is to sort out any issues he's going through before they can embark on this new journey together. The song's message is clear: love requires effort from both partners, and it's essential to have emotional and physical support from each other to create something beautiful and lasting.
