Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody grove to the music
Everybody jam

Oh, hey

We've been waiting so long
Just can't hold it back no more
Creepin' up and down now
It's time for me to let it go
If you really wanna see
What we can do for you
Send the crazy wildin' static
Sing it

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years

We've got it goin' on for years
We've got it goin' on for years

Well I'm creepin' up on your left
Straight up funky when I get with you
Keep it ruthless when I get wet
Keep the party packed in my corner
Tough like granite to keep the crowd hype
Get up on this just to get right
What you want is what you gonna get
Backstreet's got the special effects, uh

If you really wanna see
What we can do for you, oh
I'll send the crazy wildin' static
Sing it

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years

We've got it goin' on for years
We've got it goin' on for years

We've been waiting so long
Just can't hold it back no more
(Just can't hold it back no more)
Creepin' up and down now
It's time for me to let it go
It's time for me to let it go

Jam on, jam on

Everybody groove to the music
Everybody jam

Everybody groove to the music
Everybody jam

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody

Mi hermana tenía este disco, a comienzos de los 2000 (época que hecho de menos), desde su habitación, casi todos los días se escuchaban las canciones de los BSB, (era un niño en ese entonces).

Pasaron cosas que nos dolieron bastante, como la separación de nuestros padres (luego de 25 años de estar juntos, entre otras cosas).

Un tiempo después mi hermana y yo tuvimos que vivir juntos por circunstancias de la vida. Un día, decidí poner está canción, la cual era una de sus favoritas, subí el volumen, e instantáneamente se le dibujo una sonrisa en su rostro, terminamos cantando a todo pulmón arriba de los sofás del living.

Se que había cosas que ya no se podían arreglar, sentía rabia y resentimiento, solo quise trasladarnos en el tiempo.

A veces escucho éstas canciones, no solo por buen gusto, si no porque me recuerda a esa época, una época que hecho mucho de menos. Te amo hermanita ❤

I think it's safe to say the Backstreet Boys win at boybanding. They may not be the original boyband but they were the longest to stay together actively, happily.

Caucasian boy bands of course
