Get It On Tonite
Montell Jordan Lyrics

Oh, ooh wee oh, oh
The singer is expressing excitement and anticipation.

When I'm lookin' at you
The singer is noticing the person and starting to be attracted to them.

I keep thinkin'
The person is constantly on the singer's mind.

Why can't she be like you?
The singer is comparing the person to someone they are already with and finding them lacking.

So I'm schemin'
The singer is starting to devise a plan to be with the person.

I can't go on like this
The singer is feeling unsatisfied with their current situation.

Believin' that her love is true, oh
The singer is starting to question the authenticity of the love they are currently in.

Standing on the dance floor
The singer is picturing themselves and the person on a dance floor together.

While she trickin'
The singer's current partner is being dishonest or deceitful.

You are all I want girl
The singer is expressing their desire for the person.

She's a chicken
The singer's current partner is seen as cowardly or unadventurous.

We might be together

But love is missing

Girl I want you

So what can we do, oh

Girl if it's alright

Let's go somewhere and get it on tonight

I've got a girl, but you look good tonight

It's one on one tonight, tonight
The singer is emphasizing that they want to be alone with the person.

You shouldn't have to be alone tonight
The singer is expressing concern for the person's wellbeing and offering company and companionship.

Now she's lookin' at me
The singer's partner is starting to notice their attention towards the person.

But keep talkin'
The singer is ignoring their partner and continuing to talk to the person.

Oh, now she tryna ice you
The singer's partner is trying to distance the person from the singer.

Let's start walkin'
The singer is suggesting they move away from their partner and towards the person.

Over on the dance floor
The singer is continuing to imagine being on a dance floor with the person.

It's her fault but
The singer is blaming their partner for the situation they are in.

What can she do?
The singer is questioning their partner's ability to keep them from being with the person.

Tell me baby, yeah
The singer is asking the person to speak up and share their thoughts on the situation.

We can get it on (We can get it on)
The singer is repeating their desire to be intimate with the person.

I know where I went wrong
The singer is acknowledging their mistake in being with their current partner.

With you is where I belong, belong
The singer is stating that they believe they are meant to be with the person.

Girl if I could find the words to say
The singer is struggling to express how they truly feel to the person.

I gotta get away from a love
The singer is feeling trapped in their current loveless relationship.

That kills me everyday
The singer is expressing how their current relationship is emotionally draining for them.

I'd gladly say to you
The singer is saying that they would tell the person how they really feel if they had the chance.

Tonight, tonight
The singer is emphasizing that they want to be with the person that night.
