Get Right
Jennifer Lopez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're lookin' just a little too hard at me
Standin' just a little too close to me
You're sayin' not quite enough to me
You're sippin' just a little too slow for me
No doubt you play it real cool, homie
Got me thinkin' what is it you do for me?
Trippin' (trippin') a little more than I should be
So let yourself go and get right with me

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

Here I come
Here I come
Here I come
Here I come

Your lips talkin' 'bout, "I play too much"
Can't a woman take advantage of what she wants?
My hips movin' oh so slow (so slow)
Bar tab lookin' like a car note (car note)
All I need is you here right by my side
Take whatever you want, baby, let's ride
And whatever you won't do, let me decide
Just put your name on the dotted line

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

So much we've got to say, but so little time
And if tonight ain't long enough
Don't leave love behind (don't leave this love behind)
Baby, take my hand
I'll show you why

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up




We can get right, right
Tonight, right

Overall Meaning

She notices that they are looking at her too hard, standing too close, and not saying enough. Despite their attempts to play it cool, Lopez is "trippin'" more than she should be and wants to know what they have to offer. She invites them to let loose and "get right" with her. She sings about taking advantage of what she wants and enjoying the moment. She offers the other person the opportunity to take whatever they want and let her decide what they won't do. Lopez wants to fill up their cup and spend the night together. The song is about embracing the moment and enjoying the company of someone you are attracted to.


The lyrics focus on the theme of attraction and seizing the moment. Jennifer Lopez is taking charge of the situation and inviting someone to be with her, but only if they're willing to be upfront about their intentions. The song is catchy and upbeat, with a rhythm that encourages dancing. The message is about living in the moment and enjoying yourself, without worrying about the future or the consequences. The lyrics also address gender roles and expectations, with Lopez asserting her right to take advantage of what she wants and make decisions for herself.

You're looking just a little too hard at me
Você está olhando demais pra mim

Standing just a little too close to me
Ficando cada vez mais perto de mim

You're saying not quite enough to me
Você não esta falando direito comigo

You're sipping just a little too slow for me
Você está bebendo muito pouco pro meu gosto

No doubt you play it real cool, homie
Sem dúvida você está jogando muito bem, parceiro

Got me thinking what is it you do for me
Me deixou pensando qual é a sua de verdade

I'm trippin' a little more than I should be
Tô viajando um pouco mais do que eu deveria

So let yourself go and get right with me
Então deixe de pose e fique comigo


I'm about to sign you up, we can get right
Estou prestes a te dar um sinal, então nós podemos nos acertar

Before the night is up, we can get right
Antes da noite terminar, nós podemos nos acertar

We can get right
Podemos nos acertar

(We can get right)
(Podemos nos acertar)

I'm about to fill your cup, so we can get right
Estou prestes a encher seu copo, então nós podemos nos acertar

(We can get right)
(Podemos nos acertar)


Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh


Your lips talking 'bout I play too much
Você está falando sobre eu jogar demais

Can't a woman take advantage of what she wants?
Uma mulher não pode tirar vantagem do que ela quer?

My hips moving, oh, so slow
Meus quadris estão movendo, oh, tão devagar

Bar tab looking like a car note
A conta do bar está parecendo prestação de carro

All I need is you here right by my side
Tudo que eu preciso é de você bem aqui ao meu lado

Take whatever you want, baby, let's ride
Pegue o que você quiser, baby, vamos viajar

And whatever you won't do, let me decide
E tudo que você não fizer, me deixe decidir

Just put your name on the dotted line
Só ponha seu nome na linha pontilhada


I'm about to sign you up, we can get right
Estou prestes a te dar um sinal, então nós podemos nos acertar

So much we've got to say, but so little time
Temos muito a dizer, mas pouquíssimo tempo

And if tonight ain't long enough, don't leave love behind
E se hoje a noite não durar o bastante, não abandone o amor

(Don't leave this love behind)
(Não abandone este amor)

Baby, take my hand, I'll show you why
Baby, pegue minha mão, eu te mostro o porque
