Get It Right
Reed and Radley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it (baby)
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it

If you want the love of a real good man
Come and shout me
I make you understand
Don't you just look
Come and take it
Cause what i've got
You know you can't fake it

[chorus]
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it

Listen
Remember girl, i've been around the block
My legs are shied, but I won't stop
It's your turn to make a choice
Don't just sit there girl
Stand up to raise your voice

[chorus]
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You want to get with it

All my love came tumbling down

Quite playing games
Beat around the bush
All that love really needs is
Just a little pitty push

[chorus]
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it
If you want the love of a man,
You got to get with it
If you want the love of a man,
Come and get it




If you want the love of a man,
You want to get with it

Overall Meaning

The song "Get It Right" by Reed and Radley speaks to the idea that true happiness and fulfillment cannot be found solely through the pursuit of money or fame. The lyrics describe two common goals for many people: making money and working for fame. The song suggests that while these goals may seem appealing, they don't necessarily lead to a satisfying life. The coveted fortune and renown may not last and can be erased by time, leaving the individual feeling unfulfilled.


The song goes on to suggest that the kind of work that brings true enjoyment is the work that is meant for love. The best work of all is falling in love, which brings a happiness that can't be achieved through any other means. The lyrics paint a romantic picture of strolling and holding hands at midnight under a starry sky with a loved one. The song ends with the idea that finding love and taking a vow with that person is the ultimate reward and the best kind of work there is, but it must be earned through effort and dedication.


Overall, the message of "Get It Right" is that one should strive to find fulfillment and satisfaction through love rather than material possessions or fame. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody add to its optimistic outlook on life and love.

Strolling with the one girl

Sighing sigh after sigh
Releasing a deep breath, filled with contentment and happiness, again and again


Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door
Picturing a person eagerly waiting for their beloved by the entrance of their cozy abode


Where two hearts become one
A place where two people's love meet and intensify


Who could ask for anything more?
What more could someone ask for in life than this kind of love?


Loving one who loves you
Loving someone who reciprocates that emotion to you


And then taking that vow
Making a promise to commit to that love through marriage


It's nice work if you can get it
Having that kind of love is the best thing life can offer


And if you get it, won't you tell me how?
If you obtain that kind of love, would you be kind enough to share how you accomplished it?
