Lyrics
[Intro]
Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get, gotta get up
Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down
Ya gotta get up to get down, ya gotta get up to get down
Ya gotta get up to get down, ya gotta get up to get down
Oh yeah
Gotta get up to get down, ya gotta get up to get down
Ya gotta get up to get down, ya gotta get up to get down
[Verse 1]
Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Baby, can't you read the signs?
[PreChorus]
I won't bore you with the details, baby
I don't even want to waste your time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
[Chorus]
But if you're looking for fastlove
If that's love in your eyes
It's more than enough, had some bad love
So, fastlove is all that I've got on my mind
Ooh, yeah yeah (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
What's there to think about, baby? (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Oh baby, oh yeah (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh ooh, baby, gotta get up, gotta get up
[Verse 2]
Looking for some affirmation
Made my way into the sun
My friends got their ladies, they all having babies
But I just want to have some fun
[PreChorus]
I won't bore you with the details, baby
I'm gonna get there in your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
[Chorus]
But if you're looking for fastlove
If that's love in your eyes
It's more than enough, had some bad love
So, fastlove is all that I've got on my mind
Ooh, yeah yeah (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
What's there to think about, baby? (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Get yourself some lessons in love (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh ooh, baby baby (Gotta get up, gotta get up)
So close (Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down)
I can taste it now, baby (Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down)
So close (Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down)
Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down
[Bridge]
In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me
But, I see nothing in his eyes
I miss my baby, oh yeah (Sending you forget me nots)
I miss my baby tonight (To help you to remember)
So, why don't we make a little room in my BMW, babe? (Baby, please forget me not)
Searching for some peace of mind (I want you to remember)
Hey, I'll help you find it
[Outro]
I do believe that we are practicing (Sending you forget me nots)
The same religion (To help you to remember)
Oh, you really oughta get up now (Baby, please forget me not)
That's right, that's right (I want you to remember)
Oh, you really oughta get up
Oh yeah (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Oh yeah (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Oh yeah (Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh ooh, baby baby
Looking for some affirmation (Gotta get up to get down, gotta get up to get down)
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
