Gonna Get You
Michael Fortunati Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such a long and dark and lonely night
I asked myself is it wrong, is it right, in on a Saturday night
So let's try it one more time
Try and make you want something, just that's better than mine
I can't take any more going out all night
It's just pity alright
Don't know what I can do, baby, I'm losing you
Yes you, you can't believe I was true.

I said no, oh
I'm gonna get you out of my head
Oh, yes love will get a seat
Such a pity for me, but it's easy to see
Just can't open my eyes, I never do realize
So just give me one chance, one more little romance
I give you my best, let's forget all the rest

Baby sees that time's moving over
I gotta see your shadow, and there's a long lonely night
A dark and lonely night
I was looking down and out and I was looking around
But it's time for me, so forget about him
Yes him, cause you know you can't win
You can look but you'll find you're just losing your heart, that's right
When you see that you're mine





Repeat(×2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michael Fortunati's song "Gonna Get You" describe a person who is struggling to come to terms with a situation they find themselves in on a long, dark, and lonely Saturday night. The singer questions whether what they're doing is right or wrong, as they try to make their partner want something better than what they have. They admit to going out all night in what they perceive to be loneliness, and they fear they may be losing their partner. However, the singer is determined to get their lover back and move on from their loss. They see love as the key to releasing them from their lonely state and begin a new and better chapter in their lives.


The repetition of the phrase "one more time" suggests that the singer is trying to salvage a relationship that has already seen several attempts at doing so. The lyrics also highlight the motif of overcoming heartbreak as the singer acknowledges that they have to forget about their past and start anew. The singer portrays love as a solution, an escape from their problems, but they are also aware that it comes with risks since their partner may not believe they were true to them.


"Baby sees that time's moving over" line may suggest that the singer has noticed changes in their partner and that time is passing. They also acknowledge that their partner may be trying to move on, and they are making one final attempt to save the relationship. The lyrics of the chorus, "I'm gonna get you out of my head," followed by "love will get a seat," imply that the singer is confident that their love will ultimately prevail.
