Get It Together
Ball in the House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got two good ears and two left feet
I got 2 or 3 girls that I like best
And a new tuxedo with a tweed black vest
And I'm feelin like I'm running the street corner
A thirst that don't require a sip of water
I feel too good to give you my real number
But there's no use going over when you can get under
don't you make me repeat girl
Lets hit the town when the sun goes down
I got a feeling we can tear this low down town down
And if we see the light of day
Were home to early anyway
And if my company you'll keep
Ill help you get to sleep
Come on now
Get it on, get it on, get it on,
Come on now
Get it on, get in on,
I got to get I've got, I've got to get it
Get it on, get it on, get it on
You know I've got to
Get it on, get it on
You know I've got to get it,
You know I've got to get it on
I got to get it on, I got to get it on
you're keeping me up at night
With your 6 inch heels and curls so tight
The way you look at me (get it on)
don't want your love for free (oh, get it on yeah)
Feelin like I'm running the street corner
A thirst that don't require a sip of water
I feel too good to give you my real number
But with a dress like that you really have to wonder
Stand on your feet girl
But don't you make me repeat girl
don't run away come on lets play
I got a feelin that you're stealing the stage that's okay
And if we see the light of day
Were home to early anyway
And if my company you'll keep
Ill help you get to sleep
Get it on
Tell me again how you last so long
Tell me again how you right my wrong
Tell me again who you did last night
And tell me again what it is you like
Get it on
