get down
Bill T. Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when the nighttime rolls around
She's got some games to play
She wants to get on down
Get down, down, get down, down
Get down, down, down, down, down
Won't let your story get off the ground
Don't let your feelin's get in the way
She wants to get on down
Get down, down, get down, down
Get down, down, down, down, down
Never could stand to be tied to a lover too long
Hurry to play but plan before the day to be gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Down, get down, down, get down
Down, get down
Down, get down, down, down, down, down
Don't fall in love, love, nothin' to say
Won't let your story get off the ground
Don't let your feelin's get in the way
She wants to get on down
