Gonna Get Ya Lyrics

I'm walking.. Stand still
Not running.. Sit tight
Soft talking. I'm thrilled
Not gunning..By your light
Not flying..Lady
I'm Falling..This way
I'm not crying..Mabey
I'm calling and I'm going to get you anyway
I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna get you anyway

I'm cooking..Hot Me
Not raping..Blue eyes
Just looking..you got me
Not gaping..No lies
Not chasing..Lady
I'm trailing..This way
I'm not racing..Crazy
I'm wailing but I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna get you anyway

I'm gonna get you anyway
By sheer persistence
I'm gonna get you anyway
Break down your resistance
I'm gonna get you anyway
Babe I'm gonna woo ya
I'm gonna get you anyway
Girl I'm gonna do ya
I'm gonna get you anyway
(solos)
I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you anyway
Girl I'm gonna do ya
I'm gonna get you anyway

Athletic..boggey down
Hustle..Turn back
Feel pathetic..Sugar town
No muscle..Soul hack
I'm jumping..You move
No dancer..Beside me
I'm thumping..You prove
Don't get no answer but I'm gonna get you anyway
I'm gonna get you, gonna get you, gonna get you, gonna get you
I'm gonna get you anyway

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.

Get the girl.

This song just screams about doing everything it takes to get the girl.

The theme seems pretty basic from a superficial social/sexual perspective, but in my opinion, it's more universal emotionally. It's about taking the plunge in a sustained, determined, rational fashion ('I'm walking not running; not chasing, ...not racing") rather than just accepting a beckoning ("I'm falling";...you got me") but frustrating ("I'm cooking; ...I'm wailing") status quo. he's keeping at it "by sheer persistence" and accomplishing his goal in the face of overwhelming negative vibes ("...feel pathetic", "...no muscle", "...don't get no answer"). Onward, he will go, and so do we. Although I have never been a patient, confident person, it was this through approach that I pursued & won the love of my life in addition to other spiritual pursuits. Don't give up in pursuit of your truth, love, dream.
