Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You really want approved me
How i really hurt you
You really wanna tell me things
So that i hurt too
Guess we'll learn how to love
Show you how it's meant to be
Guess we'll learn how to love
So you'll stay with me

Oh what you do to me
It make me feel like i
Finally found something real
That's what you do to me
I don't wanna loose you
That's what you do to me
So we really gotta get it together oho
If we really wanna be together oho
We really gotta get it together oho
Cause i don't wanna waste my time
So we really gotta get it together
That's what you do to me
That's what you do to me
Sometimes i wanna walk away
But i don't wanna loose you
Maybe that's the kind of thing
That only us fools do
Guess we'll learn how to love
Show you how it's meant to be
Guess we'll learn how to love
So you'll stay with me
Oh what you do to me
It make me feel like i
Finally found something real
That's what you do to me
I don't wanna loose you
So we really gotta get it together oho
If we really wanna be together oho
We really gotta get it together ohoo
Cause i don't wanna waste my time
So we really gotta get it together

That's what you do to me
That's what you do to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave Ramone's "Get It Together" are centered around the idea of a struggling relationship. The first verse discusses how the other person wants to hurt Dave, most likely due to previous arguments or issues in the relationship. Despite this, Dave realizes that they need to "learn how to love" one another, and if they can accomplish this, they can stay together. The chorus reinforces this idea, stating that they need to "get it together" if they want to make the relationship work. Dave recognizes that what the other person does to him makes him feel like he's found something real, and he doesn't want to lose that feeling. However, at times he feels like walking away but doesn't want to lose the other person.

As a whole, the song expresses a desire for the relationship to flourish, but acknowledges that it's going to be tough work. Dave is unsure if they'll be able to make it work, but is willing to try because he doesn't want to be without the other person.
