Work It
Jack and Jill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
That's the best work of all, if you can get it
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
The lyrics to Jack and Jill's song "Work It Girlfriend" refer to the idea that true happiness and enjoyment can only be found in love and fulfilling relationships, rather than solely in the pursuit of money or fame. The singer compares the empty lives of those who focus solely on these goals to the joy and satisfaction that can come from falling in love and being with someone who truly loves you. The image of holding hands at midnight under a starry sky represents the ideal of what can be gained from a loving relationship - a sense of deep connection and contentment.
The lines "Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door/Where two hearts become one" suggest a theme of commitment and the importance of finding a lifelong partner. The singer acknowledges that finding this kind of love and companionship is not always easy, but describes it as the "best work of all" and encourages listeners to strive for it. The final lines, "And if you get it, won't you tell me how?" seem to be a plea for others to share in the singer's happiness and offer advice on how to find love themselves.
