Love's Gonna Get You
Jocelyn Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running all around this town
'Cause you think you're ahead of the game
But I'll let you know
Baby you don't run the show
When it comes to my happiness or pain
Of course it's true
Just to keep up with all your crazy tricks
At my expense you build up your confidence
But baby you just don't know when you're late
'Cause
I'm gonna get you baby
I'm gonna get you yes I am
Love's gonna get you baby
Oh oh ooh yeah
I'm gonna get you baby
I'm gonna get you yes indeed
Love's gonna get you baby
So don't you try to run from me
No, no
You must admit that it doesn't quite fit
The way you keep me runnin' so hard
If you don't care
Then why act so scared?
When I send to you my calling card
You should be flattered
To me it really matters
In this chase whether I lose or I win
You ain't fast enough to keep me from catching up
So why don't you just turn yourself in?
'Cause
I'm gonna get you baby
I'm gonna get you yes I am
Love's gonna get you baby
I'm gonna get you yes I am
I'm gonna get you baby
I'm gonna make you my man
Love's gonna get you baby
Don't you try to run from me
Your lead can dance
'Cause you know I'm way too fast
And 'cause this is only a test
I've got the power to chase you back the hour
So I'm taking your heart under arrest
I'm a deputy of love
And if you are thinking of
When it comes to committing a crime
Baby you have seen
It's just grand larceny
When I feel your love and make it mine
Why waste your time?
You know you gonna be mine
There is no escape from my master plan
Soon you will be
Locked up in my heart's custody
Then you wonder why you ever ran
Don't you know that love's gonna get you
Don't you know that love's gonna get you baby
You know that
You know that love's gonna get you
It's gonna get you
Love's gonna get you baby
It's waiting out there for you
Love's gonna get you
One day boy
Don't you know that?
Love's gonna get you baby
Gonna turn around and stand
You know
Love's gonna get you
Love love love love
Love's gonna get you baby
Do you know that baby
Love's gonna get you
It's looking over you
Love's gonna get you baby
Locked up in my heart's custody
Love's gonna get you
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Love's gonna get you baby
One day you'll see that
Love's gonna get you
Reach out your arms and grab you, boy
Love's gonna get you baby
Love's gonna get you
I've been loving
I've been had to have you
Love's gonna get you baby
Now I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna satisfy all them great needs
Love's gonna get you
Oh oh
The lyrics to Jocelyn Brown's song "Love's Gonna Get You" are about a woman who is chasing after a man who thinks he's the one in control, but she's determined to catch him and make him fall in love with her. She's fed up with constantly running around town and keeping up with his crazy tricks, but she's still willing to chase him because she knows that love will ultimately win.
The first verse sets the stage for the woman's determination to catch the man. She acknowledges that he thinks he's ahead of the game and in control, but she's here to let him know that he doesn't run the show when it comes to her happiness or pain. She's aware of his tricks, but she's still willing to keep up with him because she knows that love will ultimately triumph over everything.
In the second verse, she challenges him to admit that his behavior is not healthy for their relationship. She sends him her calling card, and her pursuit of him should be flattering to him. She's confident that she will win him over because he's not fast enough to avoid her. She's taking his heart under arrest because she's a deputy of love and she won't let him get away.
The chorus repeats the main message of the song: love will ultimately win, and she will get him. She encourages him to stop trying to run from her and accept his fate. The rest of the lyrics repeat this message in various ways, highlighting her determination to catch him and make him fall in love with her.

The "yeah" sample was also used in the intro to Technotronic's 1991 song "Money Makes The World Go Round"

You da man
@SallyMarsden
I've always loved that she sampled her own song (this one) when she sang in The Power (Snap!) and that it's probably one of the most iconic dance records out there. I didn't know Moby about Moby and Bizarre Inc until now - thank you!
@g4rceguy435
@@SallyMarsden She didn't sample her own song, the producers of Snap! (Benito Benites and John Virgo Garrett) sampled it to use it in their song ("The Power").
@GUNUFofficial
A sample from this was also used in stardust speedway bad future.
@willieledbetter5494
Jocelyn Brown has showed up in the works of so many others in some way shape and form. Speaks for itself. Timeless music.
@leonstrauss9842
Jocelyn is absolutely excellent and totally overlooked. Just criminal for such a talent.
@djangelmoraes1
Guys at the Garage when Jocelyn brings here mind blowing, complete love ad lib, Larry used to just bring up the level to a point where you knew he was talking about LOVE. I spent 3 years in that room and this was............exactly! I have no words
@1066sgp
