It Gets Me Going Lyrics

Sometimes I'm scratching at the back door
Waiting to be let out for five minutes
To take care of business
They don't always pay attention to my needs

Someone's laughing at the way I'll drop anything
I'm doing just to chase the things
They throw into a field
I'm going in ways that I can't explain

[chorus]
It gets me going in ways that I can't explain
Never grow tired of a routine that seldom changes
[/chorus]

Sometimes when we're walking down the sidewalk
I wish I was fixed up so I didn't have all these feelings
That keep me in a permanent frustrated state

When you go out and you leave me in
I have hours to ponder, too many to fill
I feel myself going now in ways that I can't explain

[chorus]

My eyes are either filled with life or they're glazed over

Leave some space at the foot of your bed
So I can give you the protection you deserve
I feel much better knowing firsthand that you are safe

[chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I personally love this song; just a fun song to listen to. It always puts me in a good mood. I think the meaning of this song is pretty straightfoward: it's a song from a dog's point of view. He scratches at the back door because he needs to go to the bathroom; he'll chase things into a field; he wishes he was "fixed" so he isn't (sexually) frustrated; and he wants to be at the foot of their bed so he can protect them. Just a good song about something completely silly.
