Get It
Gilbert Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she still don't get it
She could travel all the western world
But she still won't get it
It takes more than a mind to know
Any body will tell you so
But she won't let me in
Even though it's a sin to forget it
Could it be that she would prefer her we
Without me in it
I would understand if another man
Was around to win it
Did the last one leave her cold
Will the mystery unfold
Leaves me wonderin' why
No I can't even try to forget it
Yeah, I knew that it wouldn't be easy
But that don't stop me from trying
And if I said I could just forget you
I'd be lying
My persistence paid, last night she stayed
And we finally made it
The surprise I found is she's been around
And her heart is jaded
I was blinded by my dream
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
Now, I must confess
That I think it's best we forget it
There I said it
Don't regret it
In Gilbert Paul's song "Get It," the lyrics revolve around the singer's frustration with a woman who is intelligent but seemingly oblivious to his feelings for her. The first two stanzas describe her intelligence, and the fact that despite her knowledge and experiences, she still cannot seem to grasp the singer's interest in her. There is a sense of disappointment in his tone as he acknowledges that it takes more than just intelligence to understand another person's emotions.
The third stanza suggests that the woman may be interested in someone else, or perhaps just not interested in the singer at all. He wonders if there is another man in the picture or if she has been hurt before. The next line leaves him confused and frustrated, wondering why she won't let him in despite his best efforts.
The final two stanzas reveal that the singer's persistence has finally paid off, and they were able to be together. However, he discovers that the woman has been around and her heart is jaded, suggesting that she has been hurt before and may not be able to fully open up to him. The final lines express his regret for pursuing her and suggest that it would be best for them to forget about each other.
Overall, the song is about the complexities of relationships and the difficulties of understanding someone else's emotions and intentions. It highlights the idea that intelligence is not always enough to understand human behavior, and that sometimes we must rely on our intuition and emotions to connect with others.

Despite her intelligence, she lacks understanding
She could travel all the western world
She has the ability to explore the vast expanses of the west
But she still won't get it
Nevertheless, she will remain oblivious
It takes more than a mind to know
Knowledge requires more than just intellect
Any body will tell you so
This is a commonly agreed-upon fact
But she won't let me in
She doesn't allow me to understand her
Even though it's a sin to forget it
It is deemed wrong to disregard this fact
Could it be that she would prefer her we
Is it possible that she wants to continue without me?
Without me in it
To carry on without my involvement
I would understand if another man
I would comprehend if another suitor
Was around to win it
Managed to woo her instead of me
Did the last one leave her cold
Did her previous partner disappoint her?
Will the mystery unfold
Will the truth eventually be revealed?
Leaves me wonderin' why
This dilemma has me questioning its cause
No I can't even try to forget it
It's impossible to forget the situation at hand
Yeah, I knew that it wouldn't be easy
I was aware it would be challenging
But that don't stop me from trying
Regardless, my efforts persist
And if I said I could just forget you
If I claimed to be able to erase you from my mind
I'd be lying
I would be deceiving myself
My persistence paid, last night she stayed
My perseverance yielded results, she stayed the night
And we finally made it
Our romantic relationship became physical
The surprise I found is she's been around
However, I discovered that she has a promiscuous history
And her heart is jaded
Thus, her emotions towards love and intimacy are damaged
I was blinded by my dream
My ambitions and hopes had clouded my judgement
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
Occasionally, appearances can deceive
Now, I must confess
I must admit
That I think it's best we forget it
It would be wise for us to move on without each other
There I said it
I have communicated my decision
Don't regret it
I have no sorrow or remorse regarding this conclusion
