Get Right

Jennifer Lopez

You're lookin' just a little too hard at me
Standin' just a little too close to me
You're sayin' not quite enough to me
You're sippin' just a little too slow for me
No doubt you play it real cool, homie
Got me thinkin' what is it you do for me?
Trippin' (trippin') a little more than I should be
So let yourself go and get right with me

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

Here I come
Here I come
Here I come
Here I come

Your lips talkin' 'bout, "I play too much"
Can't a woman take advantage of what she wants?
My hips movin' oh so slow (so slow)
Bar tab lookin' like a car note (car note)
All I need is you here right by my side
Take whatever you want, baby, let's ride
And whatever you won't do, let me decide
Just put your name on the dotted line

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

So much we've got to say, but so little time
And if tonight ain't long enough
Don't leave love behind (don't leave this love behind)
Baby, take my hand
I'll show you why

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to sign you up
We can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
We can get right, right
(We can get right)

I'm about to fill your cup
So we can get right, before the night is up
We can get right, right
Tonight, right

    this song takes the beat from an unreleased usher song called "ride", and also uses the lyrics So much we got to say, but so little time "And if tonight ain't goin' up, don't leave love behind" - it never made it onto confessions so usher sold it to another artist and jlo tnhen decided she wanted to use the beat for this song!

    Though I'm sure it took whatever from an unreleased Usher song, what people need to notice is the striking similarity to Amerie's '1 thing.'

    this site is about your interpretation of the song not whether or not you like the song. not a single one of you haters and likers offered what you think this song means. annoying. It's about being out at a club with your boyfriend and he is acting too cool for school. But it's probably not just at the club that he's "playin it cool," it's probably all the time, that's why she's annoyed. She wants him to loosen up and show her that he has a good time with her. If only he will "let himself go" he could make their relationship right in just one night.

    I actually like this, even though it's not exactly my type of music... But it's fun to dance too. About her wanting her and him (boyfriend/almost boyfriend) to get it right. It's in the text :P

    in my opinion, this song is terrible. luckely, it has that good beat. that is the only reason why is it so popular song.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
