Get Back Lyrics

[Originally performed by The Beatles]

Jajo was a man who through me was saner,
But he knew it couldn't last.
Jajo left his home in Tuscon, Arizona,
For some California glass.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back, Jajo, go home.
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back, Jajo.

Sweet Loretta Modern thought she was a woman,
But he was another man.
All the girls is around her say she's got it coming,
But she gets it while she can.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.
Get back home, Loretta.

Your mammy is waiting for you,
Wearing her high hed shoes.
And her low mosk sweater,
Get back home, Loretta.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged,
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you was belonged.

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.

they didn't cover the whole album, they left out "Let It Be"... although this is SUCH a great cover, I prefer "I Dig A Pony"

sidenote: when I saw them live, they had the best merchandise... Laibach teacups!!!!

This song is widely believed to be a prediction on the imminent collapse of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which did collapse into disarray soon after.

Laibach is a very different band. They are from Slovenia. They have covered the entire Beatles album Let It Be. This song and the other covers don't mean much to me, but it's entertaining to listen to how they have mashed and massacrd the old Betles songs with industrial sounds and the most horrible singing voice in the history of music. On top of that, the singer has a slovenian accent; "Get bachh to vere you oonz belonked!!".
