Get It Right
Cavanaugh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
The lyrics of Cavanaugh's "Get It Right" talk about how the pursuit of money and fame does not necessarily lead to happiness. The first two lines refer to two different types of people - those who live to make money and those who work for fame. Even though they may appear to have ideal lives, the lyrics suggest that it is not necessary that they are happy. The second stanza speaks about how the only work that brings true happiness is the one that is meant for a girl and boy. It refers to people falling in love as the best work of all.
The subsequent lines of the song describe the simple pleasures in life - holding hands, strolling with the person you love, and so on. The final lines talk about the perfect situation - finding someone who loves you, taking vows together, and suggests that it's a great accomplishment if someone can have that kind of happiness in their life. The song reminds us that in the end, even though it's not easy, love is the most important thing.

Strolling with the one girl
Walking leisurely with the person you love
Sighing sigh after sigh
Feeling happy and contented, lost in love
Just imagine someone
Just picture an individual in your thoughts
Waiting at the cottage door
Someone eagerly waiting at home's door
Where two hearts become one
Where two people come together to become one
Who could ask for anything more?
What else could anyone want?
Loving one who loves you
Being in a romantic relationship where both the partners love each other
And then taking that vow
Making a promise to be with each other forever
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
If you get a chance to experience it, please let me know how you did it
