Get It Right
Tone Stith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had to get it wrong just to get it right
Had to leave them other girls all alone just to get it right
I told you I'll buy you anything that you want once I get it right
If I'm wrong, I'ma get it right

I'ma get it right baby, oh better yet
I'ma give you life baby, if that's what you want
I'ma take my time with you, catch a ride with you
All them other girls, can't do nothin with 'em
See shawty got ass for days
But you done made me change my ways
All that mountin' now is just a phase
I know you don't got no time to play

Had to get it wrong just to get it right
Had to get them other girls off my phone just to get it right
I told you I'll buy you anything that you want, let's just get it right
If I'm wrong, I'ma get it right

I'm done doin' you wrong baby
All the nights you've spend alone feeling
Like you're by yourself, when I lay with someone else
No no no, it ain't worth it baby, you shouldn't be hurting baby
You're too damn fine
Bring that ass back right here one time
We can go slow
Oh baby let me show you, I'll be right here for you

Had to get it wrong just to get it right
Had to leave them other girls all alone just to get it right
I told you I'll buy you anything that you want once I get it right
If I'm wrong, I'ma get it right

Girl it just doesn't feel right when your not with me here
And nothing out there can top what you got with me hey
You know it baby no no
Cause I done did wrong out and messed up it all bad
Let you walk out my life before but now I need you back
And I know what your thinkin', I need you to know
I'ma do it right this time, I will never let you go

Had to get it wrong just to get it right
Had to leave them other girls all alone just to get it right
I told you I'll buy you anything that you want once I get it right
If I'm wrong, I'ma get it right





I'ma get it right baby
