The lyrics to Lenny Kravitz's song "Come On Get It" are about a man who is deeply in love and longing for his partner's physical and emotional love. The chorus, "Come on and get it," is a plea to his partner to give in to their mutual desire and satisfy his craving for her. He compares himself to a canine, eager and loyal, and asks to "eat from [her] vine," implying both physical desire and wanting to share in her passions and creativity.
The verses of the song go deeper into his passion, as he declares his love and need for her. He cannot resist her love and is "drunk" on it, unable to turn it down or ignore it. He wants to "drink [her] wine," take her from behind and please her the whole night through, showing his intense desire for her. The repeated phrase "Come on and get it" is a powerful and primal expression of his need for her, urging her to join him and fulfill both of their desires.
This song is a sensual and sultry expression of love and desire, with pounding drums, driving guitars, and Kravitz's passionate vocals conveying the intensity of his emotions.
