Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We better try
Try to get ourselves together, baby
Oh, we, oh, we better try
Try to get ourselves together, baby
There's something that I feel we need to do
Let's take the time to try to figure out
What's happened to us, baby, what's it all about
We're getting further from each other every day
We can't just sit by and watch love walk away
If we don't try to save the love we got
Once we lose it, girl, we're gonna lose a lot
Oh, we, oh, we better, girl, try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better, girl, try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We've had it hard, we've had it cold, we've had it rough
It never changed a thing between the two of us
We always found a way to face it all together
We need each other now, darling, more than ever
We've got to find the love we used to know
Oh, if we find that love we'll learn to let it go
Oh, what a shame if we lose all that
'Cause once we lose it, girl, we never get it back
Girl, we better, oh, try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better, oh, try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better
We're getting further from each other every day
Oh, we can't just sit by and watch love walk away
If we don't try to save the love we got
Once we lose it, girl, we're gonna lose a lot
Oh, we, we better try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We, oh, we better try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We better try
Try to get ourselves, baby
We better try
In Barry White's song Baby We Better Try To Get It Together, the singer is urging his partner that they need to make an effort to save their relationship. He acknowledges that they have been drifting apart from each other and that they can't just sit back and watch their love fade away. He believes that they need to take the time to figure out what's been going wrong between them and make an effort to fix it. The lyrics also suggest that they've been through tough times before and have always found a way to overcome them, but now they need each other more than ever.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes the importance of not losing the love they have for each other, as it may be impossible to regain once it's gone. He pleads with his partner to try and get themselves together before it's too late. The repeated chorus of "We better try" highlights the urgency of the situation and emphasizes the need for action.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt plea for a troubled couple to work through their issues and save their relationship. It acknowledges that relationships take effort and sometimes people need a reminder to prioritize love and commitment.
