Gettin' Over You
David/Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over
No gettin' over
There's just no getting over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over
There's just no getting over you, no, no
Bring it back
Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby
I think about you everyday
I tried to masquerade the pain
That's why I'm next to the roof
D-d-d dancing to the groove
But there is no, there is no getting over you
Baby, it feels so (right)
To dance to the beat of (night)
That heat between you and I
Freak freak to the morning light
We like to live like (that)
And pour them shots up in the (glass)
But there is no, there is no getting over you
I'm-a party and party and party and party
And party and party and party
I'm-a party and party and party and party
And party and party and party
All the things I know right now
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over
No gettin' over
There's just no getting over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over
There's no gettin' over
There's just no getting over you
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
People in the place
If you've ever felt love
Then you know, yeah, you know, what I'm talking about
There is no getting over
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
The lyrics to "Gettin' Over You" by David Guetta featuring Fergie, Chris Willis, and LMFAO convey the songwriter's feelings of heartbreak and the inability to move on from a past love. The opening lines of the song, "All the things I know right now, if I only knew back then", suggest that the singer has gained insight into the relationship after it's ended, but is unable to change the outcome. The repetition of the phrase "there's just no getting over you" emphasizes the difficulty in moving past the relationship.
The second verse of the song reveals the singer's desire to turn back time in order to be with their ex-partner again, however, this is not possible. The upbeat melody and catchy chorus suggest that the singer is attempting to distract themselves from their pain through dancing and partying, but ultimately, they are unable to escape their feelings of heartbreak.
The lyrics also feature a call and response format with the repeated lines "I'm-a party and party and party and party" and "people in the place, if you've ever felt love, then you know, yeah, you know, what I'm talking about". This creates a sense of unity and shared experiences among the audience of the song.
