“There will be animation -- very futuristic and there’s an edge to it. It will keep you a little bit on the edge of your seat. It’s more of an action video, so it’s different for me.”
 
~Shania (On the "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" video) 

  I'm Gonna Getcha Good
Written by:  Shania Twain / R. J. Lange


 

Let’s go! 

Don’t wantcha for the weekend –

don’t wantcha for a night 
I’m only interested if I can

have you for life – yeah 
Uh, I know I sound serious –

and baby I am 
You’re a fine piece of real estate,

and I’m gonna get me some land

 

Oh, yeah 
So, don’t try to run –

honey, love can be fun 
There’s no need to be alone –

when you find that someone 

 

[Chorus] 
I’m gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight 
I’m gonna getcha if it takes all night 

You can betcha by the time I say go,

you’ll never say no
I’m gonna getcha, it’s a matter of fact 
I’m gonna getcha, don’tcha

worry ‘bout that  
You can bet your bottom dollar,

in time you’re gonna be mine 
Just like I should – I’ll getcha good 

 

Yeah, uh, uh 
I’ve already planned it –

here’s how it’s gonna be 
I’m gonna love you and –

you’re gonna fall in love with me 
Yeah, yeah 

 

Oh, yeah 
So, don’t try to run –

honey, love can be fun 
There’s no need to be alone –

when you find that someone 

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

Yeah, I’m gonna getcha baby –

I’m gonna knock on wood 
I’m gonna getcha somehow honey –

yeah, I’m gonna make it good 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

 

Oh, yeah 
So, don’t try to run – honey,

love can be fun 
There’s no need to be alone –

when you find that someone 

 

[Repeat Chorus ]

 

Oh, I’m gonna getcha,

I’m gonna getcha real good 
Yeah, you can betcha, oh,

I’m gonna getcha 
(I’m gonna getcha) just like

I should, I’ll getcha good 
Oh, I’m gonna getcha good!

BILLBOARD REVIEW
 
The feverish anticipation at Country Radio for Shania Twain's new set could be compared to, say, the California Gold Rush of the 1850s. Not two seconds after her new single was digitally zapped to stations, "Getcha" was spinning on nearly 150 reporting outlets, scoring a monumental debut at No. 24 on this week's Hot Country Singles & Tracks. No doubt the format feels a dire need for an almighty presence to lift it from persistent ratings doldrums, and despite a hot set from the Dixie Chicks, Shania is the most likely candidate to lure listeners to Country from Top 40, AC, or wherever else they seem to be hiding. The song itself, frankly, is pretty standard fare for the artist, from its ticklish "woman taunting man" theme, guitar breaks taken right from "That Don't Impress Me Much", and a spoken-word intro, a la "Man! I Feel Like A Woman." Even so, "Getcha" is one catchy little puppy, and Twain sounds as potent and coy at the mike as ever. We're going with the assumption that this first look into her forthcoming "UP!" is more a reminder of where we've been than where she's planning to take us, so we'll take this lightweight song in stride--looking forward to what's *really* new.
