Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Robin Thicke (at the time, known as simply “Thicke”) burst onto the scene in 2002 with his hit single, “When I Get You Alone”, which was bolstered by an accompanying Sprite ad. With the long-haired appearance of a late 60s hippy, Robin was more substance than...
Oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Baby girl, where you at?
Got no strings, got men attached
Can't stop their feenin' for long, no (ohh, no)
You makin' dogs wanna beg
Breakin' them off your fancy legs
But they make you feel right at home now
[Hook 1]
See, all these illusions just take us too long
And I want you bad
Because you walk pretty
Because you talk pretty
Because you make me sick
And I'm not leavin', 'til you're leavin'
Oh, I swear there's something when she's pumpin'
Askin' for a raise
Well, does she want me to carry her home now?
So, does she want me to buy her things?
On my house, on my job, on my loot, my shoes, my shirt
My crew, my mind, my father's last name?
[Chorus]
When I get you alone
When I get you, you'll know, baby
When I get you alone
When I get you alone now
(It's all mine)
Come on (oh yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Baby girl, you the shit
That makes you my equivalent
Well, you can keep your toys in the drawer tonight (alright)
All my dawgs talkin' fast
"Ain't you got some photographs?"
Cause you shook that room like a star, now (Yes, you did, oh)
[Hook 2]
All these intrusions just take us too long
And I want you so bad
Because you walk city
Because you talk city
Cause you make me sick
And I'm not leavin', 'til you're leavin'
So I pray to something she ain't bluffin'
Rubbin' up on me now
Well, does she want me to make a vow? (Check it)
Well, does she want me to make it now?
On my house, on my job, on my loot, shoes, my voice
My crew, my mind, my father's last name?
[Chorus]
When I get you alone
When I get you, you'll know, baby
When I get you alone
When I get you alone now
(It's all mine)
Oh no, get you alone baby
Oh oh oh oh, thatta girl! You get some
[Hook 3]
All these intrusions just take us too long
And I want you so bad
Because you walk pretty
Because you talk pretty
Cause you make me sick
And I'm not leavin', 'til you're leavin'
But I pray to something when she's pumpin'
Rubbin' up on me now
Want me to break it down? (Check it)
Well, did you want me to make it now?
On my house, on my job, on my loot, shoes, my voice
My crew, my mind, my father's last name?
[Chorus]
When I get you alone
When I get you, you'll know, girl
When I get you alone
When I get you alone now
(It's all mine)
I get you alone
When I get you alone
I get you alone
When I get you alone
(It's all mine)
Yeah

Robin Thicke on when he heard the song on the radio for the first time:
I was leaving my house, my home studio up on Blue Jay Way in the Hollywood Hills, where I lived for 20 years and recorded most of my albums. I’m driving down the hill from that studio and I turned on Power 106 because they told...
It was the first time a white guy with long hair was ever on BET every day. And to be totally honest, BET supported me from the beginning. They played that video way more than any other outlet.
