When You Get Right Down to It
Brandi Wells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't this moment what it's all about, girl?
When you get right down to it
Don't you just feel this moment says everything
Holding you, touching you, girl
Need a whole life time to do everything
That I wanna do for you
When you get right down to it
Doesn't this moment wash away the bad times
When you get right down to it
Doesn't all the hurt you ever felt disappear
Holding you, touching you, girl
Know that the magic just can't last forever but then
When you get right down to it
Don't you wanna relive the moment
Again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again and again and again
When you get right down to it
When you get right down to it
Holding you, touching you, girl
Know that the magic just can't last forever but then
When you get right down to it
Don't you wanna relive the moment
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again
The lyrics to Brandi Wells's song When You Get Right Down to It explores the idea of cherishing and living in the present moment. The singer celebrates the present moment, acknowledging that it is what really matters. She asks rhetorical questions such as "Isn't this moment what it's all about, girl?" and "Doesn't this moment wash away the bad times?" to highlight the importance of the present.
Wells also refers to the physical and emotional connection between two people, mentioning how holding someone and touching them is a special experience. The lyrics are more than just a love song, but an ode to the fleeting nature of moments and the importance of cherishing them. As the song progresses, the singer recognizes that moments cannot last forever but encourages the listener to relive the moment again and again.

Listen to the Ronnie Dyson version from the 70's. It wipes the floor over this one.

I like them all...The Delfonics, then Ronnie did it up.....and I love Brandi's also. Ronnie - A Great Voice. It would have been nice if he could have done more with Thom Bell & Linda Creed, and Gamble & Huff.
