Getting Over Him
Lauren Alaina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it sounded like my kind of lonely medication
I was the girl he'd cheat on, lookin' for a little bit of neon
So I got drunk, hit you up and you took the invitation
We were dive bar kissin'
Heartbreak fixin'
No strings, Saturday night
Forever wasn't in our eyes
You knew it, and I knew it
And it was a damn good time
My last call, first call, no fallin'
Just my gettin' over him guy
I was gettin' over him
Heard from a friend of a friend that you had a bad month, girl
You said that you needed someone who liked to have a little fun, girl
Turns out that's my specialty, cooked you up a good recipe
Denim on denim, forget him, yeah, we lit it up, girl
We were dive bar kissin'
Heartbreak fixin'
No strings, Saturday night
Hot like a match that burned out fast
Forever wasn't in our eyes
You knew it, and I knew it
And it was a damn good time
My last call, first call, no fallin'
Just your gettin' over him guy
Yeah, you were gettin' over him
I was gettin' over him
Girl, I can be your go to, hold you, savior
Let me know if I can ever return the favor
We were dive bar kissin'
Heartbreak fixin'
No strings, Saturday night (oh yeah)
Hot like a match that burned out fast
Forever wasn't in our eyes
You knew it, and I knew it
And it was a damn good time
My last call, first call, no fallin'
Just my gettin' over him guy

Heard from a friend of a friend that you had a reputation
I heard from someone else that you're known to have a certain kind of lifestyle
And it sounded like my kind of lonely medication
And it seemed like something that would help me forget about my ex and deal with my loneliness
I was the girl he'd cheat on, lookin' for a little bit of neon
I was the type of girl he would cheat on, seeking out anything bright and exciting to fill the void
So I got drunk, hit you up and you took the invitation
So I got drunk and reached out to you, and you were happy to join me
We were dive bar kissin'
We were kissing in a dive bar
Heartbreak fixin'
We were trying to fix our heartbreak by being together
No strings, Saturday night
There were no commitments between us, just a fun Saturday night
Hot like a match that burned out fast
Our passion and attraction were intense but short-lived
Forever wasn't in our eyes
We both knew that we weren't meant to be forever
You knew it, and I knew it
We both knew that our time together was temporary
And it was a damn good time
But we still had a lot of fun together
My last call, first call, no fallin'
You were my first and last call when I wanted to have a good time, without any expectations of a relationship
Just my gettin' over him guy
You were just the person I needed to help me get over my ex
Girl, I can be your go-to, hold you, savior
I can be there for you whenever you need me, hold you when you need support, and maybe even save you from your troubles.
Let me know if I can ever return the favor
If you ever need my help or support, just let me know and I'll be there for you

😃 About 10 years ago, there was a boy who committed suicide because Alaina bullied him! That's why so many people hate her. so you know what's going on. She harassed and pushed him around until he killed himself! And he was gay.
