Get It Right
Fantasia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alright,
I said then
Are y'all ready to party with me? (Yeah)
Uh no
I mean when I say party, I want us to really go there
Are you ready to go there? (Yeah)
Here we go.
Give me what I want,
Somebody has gone, to keep on doing it wrong
Before you know it, you'll be sleeping alone.
'Cause you've been slipping lately
Off this shit I'm taking, you must have bumped your head
If you think that I'mma keep going through this.

We're spinning round and round
Like a broken record, don't you tune me out
It's the last time I'm telling you.
You think I'm so predictable
Just read my mind and you would know
That you're running out of time
So you'd better get, get, get, get it right.

You wouldn't know what to do with your life
Without me you couldn't even know your left from your right.
You say you don't care about me
But we know you'll be right back, begging for me.
I give up then you will be losing
With your lies and you're always cruising
Tired of all empty promises,
Making me sick from spinning

Round and round
Like a broken record, don't you tune me out
It's the last time I'm telling you.
You think I'm so predictable
Just read my mind and you would know
That you're running out of time
So you'd better get, get, get, get it right.

Alright, give the drummers somethin'
I said give the motherfuckin' drummers somethin'
Hey, alright alright alright alright alright alright alright

We spinning round and round
Like a broken record, don't you tune me out
It's the last time I'm telling you.
You think I'm so predictable
Just read my mind and you would know
That you're running out of time
So you'd better get, get, get, get it right.

Round and round
Like a broken record, don't you tune me out
It's the last time I'm telling you.
You think I'm so predictable
Just read my mind and you would know
That you're running out of time
So you'd better get, get, get, get it right.

Uh,
You better get it right, baby
Because you're running out of time
And you'll wastin'
My time





And all that
Get

Overall Meaning

It Right by Fantasia is a song that is all about standing up for oneself in a relationship. It begins with a call to action, with the singer asking the listener if they are ready to party and go all out. The lyrics then shift towards the main theme, which is the singer's frustration with her partner's behavior. She asks for what she wants in the relationship, and tells her partner that they have been doing wrong, and that if they continue, they will end up alone. She expresses her disappointment in how he has been behaving lately and that she cannot continue to put up with it.


The chorus reinforces the message that time is running out, and that her partner must get it right or lose her forever. The song builds up to a climax with the bridge where the singer makes it clear that her patience is wearing thin. The final chorus reiterates the message that the partner needs to get it right, and that it is the last time she will tell him. The song ends with a shoutout to the drummer and a reminder that time is precious and should not be wasted.
