Get It Right Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, la, la
Oh, la, la
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
You don't ever wear that good cologne, no
Tell me why the hell you puttin' that on, that on
Tell me who you tryna impress
You ain't even noticed me in your favorite dress

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you keep blowin' up my phone?
Tryna make sure that I'm still home
Tell me what you're doin', baby
The heart never lies
It's all in your stride
Before it gets too far
Tell me what you're doin'

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't stroke it like you used to
Do it like you used to, do it
Ain't got me moaning like you used to
Own it like you used to own it
See, I did been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain't going back no more (Going back no more)
Before I'm headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can't love me
[Verse 2]
Now I'm back to the favorite dress, oh
Since when it don't make you want the sex, the sex
Does she look like me? Let's guess, shit no
And now you're givin' her all the stress you give to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you keep blowin' up my phone?
Tryna make sure that I'm still home
Tell me what you're doin', baby
The heart never lies
It's all in your stride
Before it gets too far
Tell me what you're doin'

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't stroke it like you used to
Do it like you used to, do it
Ain't got me moaning like you used to
Own it like you used to own it
See, I did been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain't going back no more (Going back no more)
Before I'm headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can't love me

[Bridge]
Get it right, get it right, get it right (Oh-oh)
(Get it right) Get it right, get it right, get it right (Oh-oh)
(Get it right) Get it right, get it right, get it right
(If you wanna love me again, get it right)
Get it right, get it right, get it right (Oh-oh)
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't stroke it like you used to
Do it like you used to, do it (No, you don't)
Ain't got me moaning like you used to
Own it like you used to own it
(Got me thinking 'bout quitting all night long)
See, I did been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain't going back no more (I ain't going back no more)
Before I'm headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can't love me
'Cause you don't stroke it like you used to
Do it like you used to do it (Do you hear me, baby?)
Ain't got me moaning like you used to
Own it like you used to own it (No, you don't get it)

[Outro]
See, I did been through this before (Been through this before)
And I ain't going back no more (Going back no more)
Before I'm headin' out the door (Headin' out the door)
Get it right or you can't love me (No more)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
