Get Yourself Together
Sugar Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause right now boy you're playin' with our love
You be busy trippin' on me
You know you got me feelin' like I'm needin' to leave
You need to get yourself together
'Cause right now boy you're playin' with our love
You be busy trippin' on me
No matter who I be with or what I do
I look around and I always be seein' you
In the cut with your boys spyin' on me
Tryin' to check up on a sister back up off me
You need to stop before you end up losin' me
You say it's love but it seems like abuse to me
How can we ever grow when trust is something you never show
Everytime you page
If I'm not at home I'm spending dollars
callin' back from my cell phone
And even though a lotta guys be jackin'
I step to you tryin' to see what's crackin'
Let's go out tonight do what you like
Don't want to fuss no more don't want to right
You question if I'm faithful
Pushin' me somewhere I don't want to go
What can I do
If you don't trust me
I can't continue
To let you hurt me
You know that you really need to get yourself together
Could it be you and me ain't ready for the stormy weather
You've been so buy trippin' on me that you can't even see
In "Get Yourself Together," Sugar Jones sings about a troubled relationship wherein the boy is not taking the relationship seriously and playing with their love. She urges him to get himself together before he ends up losing her. He is always monitoring her and spying on her through his friends. He has trust issues and does not believe that she is faithful to him. She, on the other hand, wants to work things out and go out with him without any fights, but he keeps pushing her somewhere she does not want to go.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice, emphasizing the need for the boy to get his act together. Sugar Jones sings about the challenges that the relationship is going through, which are a result of the boy's actions. She, however, is willing to work things out and wants him to stop playing games and show some trust. The lyrics are relatable, and many young people have found themselves in similar relationships.
