Get Back
Raymond Barry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last dance, you can only play
Black jack
My friend, someone else is right
Toc toc baby
Now I don't care about you my love
Ever and ever (I) only pleased my girl to be on

Get back!
Get back!

Don't stop when I look in your eyes
Staying all around (there's) nothing I can do
Last dance, you can only play
Black jack, overtime is not forever

Too late! Burning never again
Lost into your mind I can tell you why
My friend, someone else is right
Toc toc baby, only now you give me

Uh uh uh! I remember you don't love
Uh uh uh! Ahh you crazy understand
Now I don't care about you my love
Ever and ever (I) only pleased my girl to be on

Get back!
You know I look for every wonder
You're not American girl
Get back!
Don't cry, you make me feel sad about you
You're not American girl

Got sad when you did not arrive
Walking up and down I was nervous too
Last chance, I was on my way
Back home baby, do you understand?

Too late! You can't call me again
Falling to your knees I could only cry
Your hands seem to me like dirty
Get back baby, just enough I had it

Uh uh uh! I remember you don't love
Uh uh uh! Ahh you crazy understand
Now I don't care about you my love
Ever and ever (I) only pleased my girl to be on

Get back!
You know I look for every wonder
You're not American girl
Get back!
Don't cry, you make me feel sad about you
You're not American girl

Get back!
You know I look for every wonder
You're not American girl
Get back!
Don't cry, you make me feel sad about you
You're not American girl

Don't stop.
.nothing I can do
Last dance, you can only play
Black jack, overtime is not forever

Too late!
Lost into your mind I can tell you.
My friend, someone else is right
Toc toc baby, only now you give me

Uh uh uh!
Uh uh uh!
Now I don't care about you my love
Ever and ever (I) only pleased my girl to be on

Get back!
Get back!

Got sad when you did not arrive
Walking up and down I was nervous too
Last chance, I was on my way
Back home baby, do you understand?

Too late! You can't call me again
Falling to your knees I could only cry
Your hands seem to me like dirty
Get back baby, just enough I had it

Uh uh uh!
Uh uh uh!

Get back!
Get back!

Get back!




Get back!
You're not American girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Raymond Barry's song "Get Back" seem to be about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer reminisces about better times with his ex-lover, but ultimately decides to move on. He says that he doesn't care about her anymore and he only wanted to please his new girl. The repetition of "get back" throughout the song suggests that the singer is trying to regain control over the situation and move on. The line "you're not American girl" could be interpreted as the singer realizing that the relationship wasn't what he thought it was, or that the woman in question is not from the same background or culture as him. The line "last dance, you can only play black jack" may refer to the idea that the relationship had a finite end, like a game of blackjack where you have a limited number of rounds to play.


The lyrics contain some references to gambling, such as "black jack" and "overtime is not forever." These could be seen as metaphors for taking chances in love and knowing when to walk away. Additionally, the repeated use of "uh uh uh" in the song could be seen as a vocalization of frustration or disappointment.


Overall, the song seems to be about moving on from a failed romance and finding someone new. The lyrics are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but the message is one of hope and resilience.
