Take me on you rocking whores
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles everyone
Ain’t my way of having fun
Can’t give it up, got to get it up, give it up, come on Nancy
Can’t get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Got to get it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Can’t get it up, got to get it up, get it up
For your fantasies my ass don’t speculate
I’m just your slave, your master’s bait
And lots of luck into the night
Just waiting for the bright light fright
Can’t give it up, got to give it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Can’t get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Got to get it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Get it up, got to get it up, come on Nancy
Really have a good time
Really have a good time
Sucking up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
Really have a good time
Love me ’til the sun
Can’t give it up, got to give it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Can’t get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Got to get it up, get it up, come on Nancy
Get it up, got to get it up, come on Nancy
Get it up and down and all around
Take the ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last
You know you got to really have a good time
You know you’re really going to, really have a good time
Sucking up on moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
You know you’re really going to
Really have a good time
You know you really want to
Love me until the sun
Can’t get it up
Get it up
Provocative Energy: Interpreting “Get It Up”
“Get It Up” by Aerosmith is a raucous, high-energy track that encapsulates the band’s unabashed attitude and signature blend of rock and raw sensuality. The lyrics are fueled by double entendres and bold imagery, portraying a scene of wild nights and unrestrained desire. The recurring call to “get it up” serves as both a literal and metaphorical rallying cry for letting loose and embracing pleasure without inhibition. Amidst the playful innuendo, Aerosmith hints at the pressures to perform and the demands of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, all set to a backdrop of infectious riffs and relentless rhythm. The song captures the essence of letting go, living in the moment, and finding freedom in chaos.
