Something for You
Great White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get in town from an early flight
Saw you there and the time was right
Just one look and I understand
You know she ain't going to hold my hand

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you care
Well, let's get it on

One, two, three, four
I don't have to know your name
Oh, honey, that will be all right
Come with me, let's play the game
Oh, baby, I got something for you

One, two, three and you're ready to go
Good god almighty, oh, what a show
Slow down, honey, and tell me lies
Hmm, my, oh, my, what a dirty mind

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you care
Well, let's get it on
Here we go

One, two, three, four
I don't have to know your name
Oh, honey, that will be all right
Come with me, let's play the game
Oh, baby, I got something for you
Yes, I do
All right
Oh, right on

It's getting late and I got to go
Heading on to the next rodeo
You told me that you want me, but do I really care?
Our dirty little secret that I need to share with only you, only you

One, two, three, four
I don't have to know your name
Oh, honey, that will be all right
Come with me, let's play the game
Oh, baby, ooh

I don't have to know your name
Oh, honey, that will be all right
Come with me, let's play the game
Oh, baby, I got something for you
Yes, I do
I got something for you
Something for you
Something for you
Yeah, something for you




Yeah
I got something for you, baby

Overall Meaning

The song "Something for You" by Great White is about a man who meets a woman at a bar and is immediately attracted to her. He doesn't even need to know her name, he just wants to have a good time with her. The man is confident and passionate, expressing his desire for the woman to be with him. He even suggests that they play a game and participate in a dirty secret together.


The lyrics indicate a sense of urgency, with the man stating that he has to go to the next rodeo. It's unclear whether he intends to see the woman again or if this is just a one-time fling. The song has a catchy beat and repetitive chorus that make it a classic 80s rock song.


The lyrics can be interpreted as promoting casual sex and objectifying women, but they can also be seen as a celebration of uninhibited sexual desire without judgment. It's up to the individual listener to decide how they perceive the message of the song.

Terry Ilous Is a great singer, a great entertaining frontman, but "Great White" Isn't "Great White" without the great Jack Russell, Russell and Kendall together was the greatest, most underrated duo of the 80's decade, I've seen a few shows where GW was the opening band and every time I saw them they blew the band they were supporting out of the arena, It's a shame we'll probably NEVER see the 2 together on stage ever again !

Thaydrian

AMEN! Best live rock band I have ever heard next to Firehouse!

Anthony Henry

Agree with that one . Jack Russel is better

Gary Sanders

Kourtney Buster I have been saying that since the breakup between them and Jack. it is very unfortunate.

J0eschm0e

I agree, but this song was pretty good

Love the song, great hook! It's sad what's happened to Jack but everyone has to realize that in REAL LIFE people have to pay for their mistakes. Drug users sometimes have to face the music [sorry for the pun] when it comes to their actions. People get fired from their jobs all the time when they mess up & a band is no different. Everyone has to do their work at their best ability. You don't get a free pass from your boss if your hurting everyone in the office! Best of luck to new GW, & Jack too.

Jonathan Wark

I love the throwback feel of the video and it matches perfectly with the song. Nothing but positive energy from a great rock band. Really diggin' the new record, and as always Kendall shreds. Boom bitches!

Arthur Morgan
