"Get It Right Back"

Rock has a history of being over the top macho and bit misogynistic. I adopted that attitude for this song, just to try it on for size, but it’s not me.

Current listening: Captain & Tennille, Love Will Keep Us Together

Get It Right Back

© 1988 Brian Hutzell

You don't look your age at all
You've got the body of one much older
I don't play guessing games no more
Because the young keep getting bolder
But you've got me in a spot and you think you're gonna win
It's only fair for me to say you'd better think again

If you do that, you're gonna get it right back
Try to act tough
You'd better keep your mouth shut
Know you too well
I'm gonna put you through hell
And if you do that, if you do that
If you do that you're gonna get it right back from me

I don't like your attitude
You've done a lot so you think you're cool
You're stringing me up for tying you down
First you love it then you say it's cruel
You're playing dirty tricks that might have worked once or twice
But the trouble with you chicks is you ignore advice

If you do that, you're gonna get it right back
Try to act tough
You'd better keep your mouth shut
Know you too well
I'm gonna put you through hell
And if you do that, if you do that
If you do that you're gonna get it right back from me

What?
I didn't commit no crime
From the beginning, you were the mastermind
Who?
I've never seen you before
I'm just a poor boy living on a foreign shore

Let's forget this incident
Or I swear it's gonna haunt you
The think you claim I stole from you
Well, we both know where that's gone to
You've got something to sell and I know you can
But the shit you smell's about to hit the fan

If you do that, you're gonna get it right back
Try to act tough
You'd better keep your mouth shut
Know you too well
I'm gonna put you through hell
And if you do that, if you do that
If you do that you're gonna get it right back from me
