Gap Band, The - I Can't Get Over You Lyrics






I can't get over you
No matter what I do
Although you said that we were through
It's all about you

When I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord you'll come to me
Girl, I can't get over you
No matter what I do

Girl, I just can't get over you
Girl, I just can't get over you
Girl, I just can't get over you

Don't let it be for keeps
'Cause you mean that much to me
I can't get over you
No matter what I do

I can't get over you
No matter what I do
Although you said that we were through
It's all about you

Girl, I just can't get over you
Girl, I just can't get over you
Girl, I just can't get over you
Girl, I just can't get over you
Girl, I just can't get over you, yeah

I can't get over you, oh...
Girl, I can't get over you, baby
No matter what I do, whoa-whoa-whoa...
It's all about you, baby, baby
You said that we were through, oh...
It's all about you
It's all about you, baby
It's all about you, baby
All about you, baby, baby, baby...
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I hold you tight with all my might
Makes me feel real good inside
Oh, yeah, yes, I do, lady
We can't let it end like this
It's all about you, baby
It's all about you, baby, oh...

I can't get over you, oh...
Girl, I can't
Girl, I can't get over you, my love
No matter what I do, whoa-whoa-whoa
No matter what I do, my love
My lady, my baby
You said that we were through, oh...
'Cause you see
It's all about you
It's all about you, baby
It's all about you, baby
Yes, it is

Girl, I can't get over you
You said that we were through
What am I supposed to do
Without you, without you
Girl, it's all about you, you, yeah

    This song will always does it for me!

    K.... A....

    Yesssss!!!

  91. K.... M....

    golden classic.

  92. S.... D....

    this lp was loaded with so many jams this gem right here went under the radar

    S.... D....

    The Gap Band arrives. Superb album!

    S.... D....

    Superb easy-listening composition, (probably influenced by the ascendant Grover Washington-led smooth jazz movement) that helped to make the album it appeared on ( Gap Band 4? Gap Band 5) one of the group’s best outings and solidified their status as stars.Showing off his creativity, lead singer Charlie Wilson seemingly ad-libs the lyrics here, the same way he does at the end of the Zapp Band’s record “Computer Love”.

  93. S.... ....

    it was an under rated to me I was going to a community college and dating a girl in the projects she stole my heart broke up with me I had this cassette and I wore it out she eventually got back with me then we broke up again but that time I had the upper hand laugh out loud non I'm married to a different woman and we've been married for 29 years praise the Lord

    S.... ....

    Aww cute story... and yes Sir, Praise Him!

  94. W.... G....

    been a gap band fan all my life

  95. s.... m....

    wow! the 80s , when music really meant something, Those was the days...And if you wasn"t here to experience the 80s. You haven't experienced anything..

  96. F.... B....

    One of the best song

  97. B.... F....

    Man this was that "FIRE"!!

  98. A.... P....

    Intro is crazy!  Always loved this one!  One of the most under rated songs of the 80's

    A.... P....

    @TheOnlyGod When did the Gap Band ever cover a Robert Palmer song? I don't remember that. I remember they did an original Addicted to Your Love on their Round Trip Album in 1989, which was a whole 6 years after Gap Band V. They never made a deliberate attempt to go pop. Pop is not a genre of music anyway. It's just the short word for Poplular. All genre's of music can make the "Pop" charts.

    A.... P....

    @sherwinfitz

    I wasn't referencing V, I was referring to their Pop direction. POP is now a genre today (Post-Michael Jackson) unless you've been sleeping under a rock for the past 30 years.

    Charlie Wilson stated that "Addicted to Love" was a direct response to Robert Palmer's remake of "Early In The Morning".

    A.... P....

    @TheOnlyGod Pop is not a true music genre. Country, Rap, Jazz, Soft Rock, R&B, Heavy Metal, Reggae, and Alternative music can all make the pop charts. When NWA released their 2nd album, it quickly climbed to #1 on the Pop chart. I remember them doing an interview where they were upset about being labeled as "pop." Even they did not fully understand the concept of what it meant to be on the pop chart. MJ is the king of pop because he had so many songs that were popular and dominated the popular music charts.


    Name a song (any song) by the GB that sounds like they were moving in a different direction. Addicted To Your Love sounds like it is in the same fashion as the songs Burn Rubber, Early in the Morning, Drop the Bomb, etc.

    A.... P....

    @sherwinfitz

    That's like saying Christianity isn't a religion because it wasn't around in the beginning.

    POP has been a genre for thirty years which is why all of the other genres you mention are ignored are stuck in the twenty first century. Even Hip-hop is dead and its poor hybrid Pop Descendant is stuck in the Pop genre. Yes, Pop in the beginning was a chart, but today it is a genre.

    Britney Spears; Justin Timberlake; Justin Bieber and N'SYNC, so what genre you named do they belong. 🤣

    A.... P....

    @sherwinfitz

    All of GAP Bands music had a Pop element and they crossed over at the very beginning with "Oops Upside Your Head".

  99. D.... B....

    Yes,love this!
