Go For It
J. Roddy Walston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby, let it go
Let it go, yeah
Listen up

Every now and then it invades my mind
Some have missed a place through the hard times
From the nine to five or just a world they see
But get your boogey shoes, there's a remedy

I insist that you be down and ready to party
I insist that you relax and let it go
I insist that you believe it's gonna get better
I insist you understand right now you can't do nothin' better
So let it go

Everybody's out on the floor don't you know
Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control
Let it go

Every now and then it seems hard to find
Some have lost their way of loving, peace of mind
And if there's any pain or hostility
Well get down on the floor 'cause there's a remedy

I insist that you be down and ready to party
I insist that you relax and let it go
I insist that you believe it's gonna get better
I insist you understand right now you can't do nothin' better
So let it go

Everybody's out on the floor don't you know
Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control
Loose control now

Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Everybody's out on the floor don't you know
Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control
Let it go

Guess it's time to let it go
Even if your feelings show
It's okay to let it go
Guess it's time to let it

Lose control, baby
Let it go, let it go

Can't do nothin' better so let it go

Let it go

I insist that you be down and ready to party
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control (let it go)

Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Everybody's out on the floor don't you know

Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control (let it go)

Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Everybody's out on the floor don't you know
Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control

Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Everybody's out on the floor don't you know
Can't do nothin' better so let it go
Set your troubles free
Dance with me
Loose control
Let it go

Can't do nothin'
Can't do
Can't do nothin' better
Can't do




Can't do
Can't do nothin'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J. Roddy Walston's song "Go For It" are all about letting go of worries and troubles, and just enjoying life to the fullest. The first verse talks about how people often get caught up in the stresses of daily life, whether it be the 9-to-5 grind or just the general state of the world. But the solution to this is to put on your "boogey shoes" and hit the dancefloor.


The chorus then reiterates this message of letting go and enjoying the moment, with the singer insisting that the listener "be down and ready to party" and "understand right now you can't do nothing better." The second verse expands on this idea, talking about how some people may have lost their way or are dealing with pain or hostility, but again, the answer is to dance it out and let loose.
