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 & Chris Willis ft Fergie & LMFAO speak about the pain and regret of a failed relationship. The first verse expresses the sentiment that if the singer knew then what they know now, things might have turned out differently. However, they now realize that there is no way to move on completely from the relationship. The second verse continues this theme by expressing the deep longing to go back in time and have the chance to be with the person they lost. The chorus repeats the message that there is simply no way to get over the person they loved and lost.
The rest of the song is made up of partying and dancing, an attempt to mask the pain and move on from the relationship. The themed partying, shots of alcohol, and dancing do not take away the pain of the lost love. In fact, the repeated call to party underscores the idea that the singer is trying to distract themselves from the feeling of loss and regret.
Overall, the lyrics to "Gettin' Over You" convey that the pain of lost love is not something that can be easily forgotten or overcome. The chorus, in particular, is a reminder that when love is lost, there's no going back.

All the things I know right now
I have a lot of knowledge and understanding currently
If I only knew back then
However, I wish I had this knowledge and understanding in the past
There's no gettin' over
I cannot move past something
No gettin' over
It is impossible to overcome
There's just no getting over you
I am unable to move past you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
I would do anything to go back in time
Just to have you back again
So I could be with you once more
Bring it back
Let's reminisce and remember the past
Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby
You are constantly on my mind
I think about you everyday
You are always in my thoughts
I tried to masquerade the pain
I attempted to hide the hurt I feel
That's why I'm next to the roof
That's why I am dancing energetically
D-d-d dancing to the groove
I am dancing to the rhythm of the song
But there is no, there is no getting over you
Despite dancing and attempting to hide my pain, I cannot move past you
Baby, it feels so (right)
It feels good to let loose and dance freely
To dance to the beat of (night)
I love dancing to the rhythm of the night
That heat between you and I
There was a special passion and connection between us
Freak freak to the morning light
We danced until the early hours of the morning
We like to live like (that)
We enjoyed living our lives carefree and partying
And pour them shots up in the (glass)
We enjoyed drinking shots and partying
People in the place
To all the people here
If you've ever felt love
If you have ever experienced love
Then you know, yeah, you know, what I'm talking about
You understand what I am saying
I'm a party, and party and party and party
I am constantly partying and enjoying my life
