Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over, no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over, there's no gettin' over
(Bring it back)
Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby
I think about you everyday
I tried to masquerade the pain
That's why I'm next to the booth
D-d-d-dancin' to the groove
But, but there is no, there is no
(There's no gettin' over you)
Baby, it feels so (right)
To dance to the beat of the (night)
That heat between you and I
Freak, freak 'til the morning light
We like to live life (fast)
And pour them shots up in the (glass)
But there is no, there is no
(There's no gettin' over you)
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and
All the things I know right now
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over, no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over, there's no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party, and party
People in the place
If you've ever felt love
Then you know, yeah, you know
What I'm talkin' about
There's no gettin' over
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
There's no gettin' over
The lyrics to “Gettin’ Over You” by David Guetta and Chris Willis ft. Fergie & LMFAO express the difficulty of moving on from a past love. The first verse reflects on hindsight, wishing the singer knew then what they know now in order to prevent the heartache they are still experiencing. The chorus states that there is simply no getting over the person they are singing about. The second verse repeats the sentiment of wanting to go back in time to be with this person again.
The bridge of the song shifts to a party scene, where the singer tries to forget their pain by dancing and drinking with others. However, the persistence of the pain of heartbreak is echoed in the repetition of the line “There is no gettin’ over you.” The final verse includes a call to the audience, asking if they have ever felt the same, then reaffirming that “there’s no gettin’ over.”
Overall, the lyrics convey a theme of emotional pain and difficulty moving on from a past love, even in the face of distractions and attempts at avoidance.

Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby

I tried to masquerade the pain
I've been trying to hide my heartache
That's why I'm next to the booth
I'm dancing near the DJ to distract myself
D-d-d-dancin' to the groove
I'm dancing to the beat of the music

And party and par' and par' and party
And party until I can't party anymore

You understand what I'm going through
What I'm talkin' about
My feelings for this person and my inability to move on
There's no gettin' over
I can't get over my love for this person
