Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get... gotta get up!
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get... gotta get up!
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Baby, can't you read the signs?
I won't bore you with the details, baby
I don't even wanna waste your time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
But if you're looking for fast love
If that's love in your eyes
It's more than enough
Had some bad love
Some fast love, is all that I've got on my mind
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
What's there to think about, baby?
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Hey baby, oh yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Looking for some affirmation
Made my way into the sun
My friends got their ladies
They're all having babies
But I just wanna have some fun
I won't bore you with the detail, baby
You gotta get there in your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
But if you're looking for fast love
That's love in your eyes
It's more than enough
Had some bad love
Some fast love, is all that I've got on my mind
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
What's there to think about, baby?
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Get yourself some lessons in love
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
So close
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
I can taste it now baby
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
So close
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me (stupid Cupid keeps on calling me)
And I see lovin' in his eyes
I miss my baby, oh yeah
I miss my baby tonight
So why don't we make a little room in my BMW, babe
Searchin' for some peace of mind
Hey, I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion
Oh, you really oughta get up now, that's right
Oh, you really oughta get up
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Oh yeah
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Oh yeah
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down

One of my favourites upbeat tracks ever!
Of course it's about casual sex, but it's still so well written that it's just exquisite! I adore the "so why don't we make a little room in my BMW...." And the "I do believe that we are practising the same religion"...I even used to quote that! haha
And the "I miss my baby..." The guy has physical needs, but still can't get that person out of mind, like happens to everyone who isn't over someone so important to us! :'(
Honestly I think it's about not wanting all of the emotional crap in a relationship. What he wants is just a pure physical relationship
The song is clearly about his sexuality "i do believe that we are practicing the same religion". He wants fast love, he just wants sex wherever whenever with whomever. "make a little room in my BMW babe".. It's pretty obvious. The whole albums about change, and more importantly accepting change.
in the absence of security
I made my way into the night
stupid cupid keeps on calling me
but I see nothing in his eyes
It's nothing in his eyes not lovin' in his eyes.
and the song is about cruising
isnt this like a top10 song for a bbq party in the hot sun ? :D
yeh its a great song, very funky!
in my BMW babe "
haha wow i never noticed that lyric before! that rocks :D
Of course part of this song is about how we fill our emotional void with physical experiences. And thats a defense mechanism, and sometimes it's not all bad. Sometimes it's the medicine you need. Don't cry about the girl you loved who dumped you for no reason. Go have a fling with one who likes you, don't complicate things unless the need to be. Get yourself a lesson in love. I can dig it.
inlieu..i'm not sure G. Mikey is exactly the marrying type.. ;)*snurkle*
