Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Get up, get up, get up
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
Think what you're doin', doin'
(I'm spinnin' around)
I'm spinnin' around
On your merry-go-round
You got me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Now, now baby
Get it together
or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
Get up off your high horse girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
I can't stand all this confusion
All this shuckin' and jivin'
Keeps puttin' me down, down, down
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
Think girl, what you're doin'
Throwin' this heart of mine all away
Oh, think girl, you know I love ya
To keep a love like mine is hard this day
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don't want my lovin'
I'll be gone
The Jackson 5's "Get It Together" tackles the subject of a relationship going through a rough patch. The song insists that the couple either sorts out their issues and stays together or breaks up if they can't work things out. The lyrics paint a story of one partner who is not putting in enough effort into the relationship and is causing the other person confusion and frustration. The lines "Get up off your high horse girl/ Think what you're doin', doin'" highlight the fact that the person is acting arrogant and not considering the other person's feelings.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of the couple getting their relationship in order, or else one of them will leave. Michael Jackson sings "Get it together/ Or leave it alone/ If you don't want my lovin'/ I'll be gone," making it clear that a resolution needs to be made. The song ends with Michael Jackson pleading with his partner to think about their actions: "Think girl, what you're doin'/ Throwin' this heart of mine all away/ Oh, think girl, you know I love ya/ To keep a love like mine is hard this day."
Line by Line Meaning
You better get it together
You need to pull yourself together and make a decision
Or leave it alone
If you can't make a decision, then it's best to let it go
If you don't want my lovin'
If you don't have love for me, then
I'll be gone
I will have to leave
Get up, get up, get up
Stand up and take action
Get up off your high horse girl
Stop acting superior to me, girl
Think what you're doin', doin'
Refocus and really consider your choices
(I'm spinnin' around)
I'm experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil
I'm spinnin' around
I can't keep up with your changes in mood
On your merry-go-round
You keep changing your mind, keeping me off balance
You got me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy
You're causing so much chaos that I can't handle it
Now, now baby
Listen to me now
I can't stand all this confusion
I am tired of the uncertainty and unpredictability
All this shuckin' and jivin'
All the empty words and meaningless actions
Keeps puttin' me down, down, down
It keeps me feeling low and depressed
Think girl, what you're doin'
Girl, you need to really consider your actions
Throwin' this heart of mine all away
You're not valuing my feelings and love
Oh, think girl, you know I love ya
You should know that I love you deeply
To keep a love like mine is hard this day
It's not easy to find a love like mine, so don't take it for granted

The Harsh Truth OUT THERE
@Q The RetroGamer LOVE ALWAYS JUDGE! And RIGHTSEOULSY thereof. LOVE IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.
And BIBLE never banned it:
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Matthew 7:2 - For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
The whole BIBLE is loving, because it RIGHTEOUSLY judging us and calling us all to REPENTANCE.

I absolutely love Michael's tween voice. You can hear both little Mike and adult Mike at the same time.
