Keyshia Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, you don’t ever wear that good cologne,
No, tell me why the hell you put that on, that on
Boh tell me who you tryna impress?
Uh, oh you ain’t even notice me in your favorite dress
Why you keep blowing up my phone?
Tell me what you doin' baby
The heart never lies
It’s all in your stride
Before it gets too far
Tell me what you doin'
‘Cause you don’t stroke it like you used to, do it like you used to
Do it
Ain’t got me moaning like you used to,
Own it like you used to
Own it
See, I have been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain’t going back no more (Going back no more)
Before I’m headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can’t love me
Now I’m back to the favorite dress (Uh oh)
Since when it don’t make you want the sex, the sex (Uh oh)
Does she look like? Let’s guess, no
And now you’re givin' her all the stress you gave to me
Baby why you keep blowing up my phone?
Tryna make sure that I’m still home
Tell me what you doin' baby
The heart never lies
It’s all in your stride
Before it gets too far
Tell me what you doin'
‘Cause you don’t stroke it like you used to, do it like you used to
Do it
Ain’t got me moaning like you used to, own it like you used to
Own it
See, I have been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain’t going back no more (Going back no more)
Before I’m headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can’t love me
Get it right, get it right, get it right (Ohh)
Get it right, get it right, get it right (Ohh)
Get it right, get it right, get it right
(If you wanna love me again, get it right)
Get it right, get it right, get it right (Ohh)
‘Cause you don’t stroke it like you used to, do it like you used to
Do it (No you don’t)
Ain’t got me moaning like you used to, own it like you used to
Own it
(Got me thinking ‘bout quitting all night long)
See, I have been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain’t going back no more (Going back no more)
Before I’m headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can’t love me
‘Cause you don’t stroke it like you used to, do it like you used to
Do it (Do you hear me baby?)
Ain’t got me moaning like you used to, own it like you used to
Own it (No, you don’t get it)
See, I have been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain’t going back no more (going back no more)
Before I’m headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can’t love me (No more)
The song "Get It Right" by Keyshia Cole tells the story of a woman who notices her partner's lack of effort in the relationship, both physically and emotionally. She questions why he is trying to impress someone else when he is neglecting their relationship. The chorus emphasizes the importance of getting the relationship right before it is too late, and the bridge alludes to the fact that the singer has been through this before and is unwilling to tolerate it any longer.
The second verse suggests that the partner may be cheating on the singer, as he is giving someone else the attention and effort that he used to give to her. The repeated chorus reinforces that the partner needs to make changes in order for the relationship to work.
Overall, the song is a plea for better communication and effort in a failing relationship. It highlights the importance of both partners putting in equal effort to keep the relationship strong and fulfilling.
