Gettin' Over You
LMFAO feat. Fergie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over, no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over, there's no gettin' over
(Bring it back)
Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby
I think about you everyday
I tried to masquerade the pain
That's why I'm next to the booth
D-d-d-dancin' to the groove
But, but there is no, there is no
(There's no gettin' over you)
Baby, it feels so (right)
To dance to the beat of the (night)
That heat between you and I
Freak, freak 'til the morning light
We like to live life (fast)
And pour them shots up in the (glass)
But there is no, there is no
(There's no gettin' over you)
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and
All the things I know right now
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over, no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over, there's no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party, and party
People in the place
If you've ever felt love
Then you know, yeah, you know
What I'm talkin' about
There's no gettin' over
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
There's no gettin' over
In LMFAO feat. Fergie's song Gettin' Over You, the lyrics explore the pain and difficulty of trying to move on from a past relationship. The singer expresses regret for not realizing the importance of the relationship at the time, and wishes they could reverse time to have that person back in their life. The chorus, "There's no getting over, no getting over, there's just no getting over you," highlights the emotional connection that remains despite the separation.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of using partying as a way to distract oneself from the pain of a breakup. The singer admits to trying to "masquerade the pain" and finds solace in dancing and enjoying the nightlife, but ultimately acknowledges that there is no escape from the hurt and memories of the past lover.
The song's upbeat tempo and energetic melody contrast with the melancholic lyrics, creating an interesting juxtaposition. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and the struggle to move on.
