Lattisaw, Stacy - Nail It To The Wall Lyrics






Don't even think about tomorrow
Just keep tonight on your mind
Gonna rip it up, boy
One piece at a time

My machine is on automatic
Just pull the plug if it gets too much
Out of control
This love's so strong it's dangerous

When I'm with you
I can't wait to turn it loose

Nail it to the wall
If you want an education
Come on, nail it to the wall
It's the perfect situation, come on

There's no secrets under the cover
It's just a place where lovers lie
Gonna open up, boy
And let you look inside

Don't be afraid to do some damage
I can see you're curious
Let's take tonight
And turn it into something serious, oh

Right here with you
I can't wait to turn it loose

Nail it to the wall
If you want an education
Come on, nail it to the wall
It's the perfect situation, come on

Nail it to the wall
If you want an education
Come on, nail it to the wall
It's the perfect situation, come on

Nail it, nail it to the wall
So, if you want an education
Nail it to the wall

Nail it to the wall
If you want an education
Come on, nail it to the wall
It's the perfect situation, come on

Lattisaw, Stacy Nail It To The Wall Comments
  1. A.... M....

    Where did she find all those hotties?!?!?!? ✊💪🐆🐆🐆💖

  2. T.... Y....

    Go Stacy!! I remember this video on Night Tracks! I bought the 12 inch with my baby sitting money!

  3. I.... W....

    What did I just watch?😂🤣😂🤣😂

  4. R.... X....

    Stacey said she wasn’t a dancer. This is why the video appeared meaningless for such a funky song.

  5. R.... S....

    #Classic

  6. H.... ....

    Oh my god!!! I haven’t heard this cut for deep. I’m talking decades lol!

  7. K.... R....

    What in da hell did this song mean?????🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤷🏾‍♂️🤣

  8. 1.... a....

    Stacy is dat BETCH!! She could blow!!

  9. T.... P....

    I've never wondered what Kelly Clarkson would've looked like in the 80s, but now I know.

  10. S.... P....

    She was f**King Johnny Gill at this time

    S.... P....

    Steve Price 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  11. O.... G....

    Awful video.

  12. f.... ....

    HOT but NEVER hoochie. But with her voice, she didn't have to be. The ones who can't sing have to be half naked and put their ass in the camera to distract folk.

  13. A.... W....

    This is my favorite song by Stacy Lattisaw Jackson she is so damn talented!!!! I have a few of her songs on 45 records!! Awesome memories of the 80's no doubt!!!!😉😀👍 From Aretha White a huge fan of yours!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo to you!!!!!!

  14. s.... ....

    What a terrible video. And given that the song isn't very good to begin with--yikes! This is a million miles away from such perfect efforts as "Let Me Be Your Angel". And dressing/styling Stacy so that she looks like she's 45, rather than 17, was no great move either.

  15. A.... S....

    They coulda just let her be a ballad girl, but they wanted to "jazz" her up.

  16. L.... S....

    Why go to college if you want an education, I'll just to nail it to the wall😂

  17. Y.... ....

    My favorite song when I was in the 3rd grade. Still haven't figured out "if you want an education, nail it to the wall." 🤷🏾‍♀️ Lol, I miss 80's music

  18. d.... c....

    late fall of 1986 nov dec. top hit good song

  19. d.... ....

    This was cheesy but a lot of fun. The shirtless dude is hot. Why does the lady passing the bricks keep dropping them. And why is he meditating in the toilet after being shone with her "magic"? So many questions.

  20. s.... ....

    Seems like 5th Harmony's management were inspired to do "Work from Home" after seeing this ditty

  21. j.... ....

    I always thought a duo or a group sang this song. I see Stacy's voice is just multi-dimensional.

  22. J.... B....

    I'm sorry this used too be the cut. Dance floor stayed packed!

  23. B.... C....

    This was the coolest song by her in the 80's!

  24. B.... ....

    Those shoulder pads are magnificent.

  25. s.... ....

    This is an amazing song! Lattisaw definitely remains underrated, such a voice!

  26. K.... R....

    Great song! ❤️❤️❤️
    Awful video! 😂😂😂

  27. M.... K....

    I hope the director of this video was nailed to a wall. No wonder Stacy finally said F U to the music industry. Love the song, though.

    M.... K....

    IKR She was probably good and done with they BS at this point.

    M.... K....

    Lmao!!! You ain’t lying. That construction worker lip syncing “Nail it to the wall” cracks me up.

  28. R.... C....

    My jam right here. The 12" is the business. I love Stacy Lattisaw been a fan since her debut.

  29. p.... l....

    Makes me wanna dance miss good ol 80s

  30. Q.... A....

    I see why she left the Music Industry, just listen to the lyrics in this song and her others!!

    Q.... A....

    Qu33n Arianna! I understand she left

  31. E.... ....

    Is that Kirk Taylor?

  32. f.... j....

    love this young lady

  33. A.... S....

    Stacy's voice got richer as she matured! Love this cut, What u Need and Every Drop Of Your Love! Oh HELL yes! Stacy had jams!!!

  34. A.... A....

    I remember this song in 1969. Saw her open for Jimi Hendrix at The Forum. Just joking!

  35. V.... G....

    Okay, this is a ridiculous video, really, fantasizing in a porta-potty? LOL. But Stacy is such a good singer! Fun song.

  36. a.... w....

    Dirty!    LOL

  37. C.... C....

    Is that Versace she is wearing? Or the label wouldn't go that expensive for her lol obvious with these cheesy videos, and weak promo. She should have been working with Jam&Lewis, Narada Michael Walden, again, Babyface,Rhett Lawrence,David Foster. The hit makers of the time, she was a A+ singer with C grade music productions

    C.... C....

    Chris Coyne that's Motown executives job

    C.... C....

    She pretty much said so. Her parents managed her career but didn't know how to navigate the music industry. She definitely should have been up there with Whitney

  38. D.... C....

    So many memories.

  39. S.... ....

    75% of videos at this time were also ridic.
    i wish Stacy wouldn't have stopped singing, I love her voice so much. Her song Let Me Be Your Angel….damn, so good, and I think she was very young when she recorded it. 13? Most child singers don't sound good when they grow up….she did!

    S.... ....

    ...And then she lost her beautiful voice by not using it. Quite sad.

    S.... ....

    she is still singing....... christian/gospel

  40. r.... x....

    I haven't seen this video in years!

  41. P.... ....

    just perfect bassline

  42. K.... S....

    cute video & cute song I luv Stacy

  43. c.... ....

    Awesome song and a great, fun video! The reason the video seems corny is that people back in the 80's didn't take themselves so seriously. They were fine if a video was just fun to watch even if it was goofy. Today, we're far too "sophisticated."

  44. M.... ....

    Summer Camp JAM! I wouldnt even want that man going all in a porto toilet! Especially sitting inside of it dreaming! Gross!

  45. k.... P....

    They should and could have done a much better job for Stacy, it's cheesy and the production value is horrific.

  46. s.... ....

    This video is an example of how out of touch Motown was during the 1980s.

    s.... ....

    What do you expect? This was the MTV era after all.

  47. S.... ....

    wow this video is horrible.

    S.... ....

    Why? Cause she aint twerking in a thong?

    S.... ....

    Most videos in the 80s were.

  48. V.... W....

    This is the corniest video i have seen yet. lol., But love me some Stacy Lattisaw and this song. Just bring back old memories.

    V.... W....

    LIONEL RICHIE

    V.... W....

    JOHNNY GILL

    V.... W....

    IRAM RUIZ GONZALEZ

    V.... W....

    Or is it so corny it's great?

    V.... W....

    I'm SAYING!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

  49. W.... R....

    this video is tacky...lol oh my why did I stop on it? I remember this. Damn I'm old

  50. S.... S....

    I haven't seen this video in years or heard it.

  51. M.... C....

    wonder whatever happened to this lady

    M.... C....

    She's still around. She's been doing Contemporary Christian/Gospel music.

    M.... C....

    she quit doing R&B because she felt it was compromising her religious beliefs.. she didn't like the seedy dark side of the recording industry at the time.... she said she would never stoop so low as to sleep with whoever to further her music career..and that would happen alot in the music business..

    M.... C....

    Mr. Chip TV One's Unsung did a profile of Stacy! Check it out! It tells her whole story! :-)

    M.... C....

    She wised up and got out of that disgusting business

  52. M.... A....

    TIME to Dance RAH!

    M.... A....

    +Mark Ciarlante 1..2..3.. BREAK!!

  53. S.... G....

    This will definitely scare today's music generation I mean the nonsense I'm hearing is disgusting but this classic outdoes any artist who fails to step up. 

  54. D.... C....

    THE JAM in '86!

    D.... C....

    So true

  55. D.... B....

    i love that jacket she's wearing. This song was ROCKIN'.

  56. E.... S....

    This Stacy Lattisaw 1986 Music Video: "Nail It To The Wall" Was Set In The Biggest City In America: New York City.

    E.... S....

    SO FUCKING WHAT? WHO CARES?

  57. D.... W....

    'Nail it' sounds like it could be in a mashup with the 'Commodores' 'Goin' to the bank.'
