How people can't interpret these lyrics is beyond me! It's clearly about an over-zealous female fan of his. He's telling her to "get down" and that she's a "bad dog, baby", just like he would in a command to a canine pet, but this is not in the literal sense! He doesn't want her pawing him (pardon the pun!) and he explains, "keep your hands to yourself, I'm strictly out of bounds". But, being his fan, he still wants her around, hence the "but I still want you around" part of the song! Simples!

Get Down - Lyrics

Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
Get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around

You give me the creeps
When you jump on your feet
So get down, get down, get down
Keep your hands to yourself
I'm strictly out of bounds

Once upon a time I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby what do you think you're doing to me

Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
So get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around, around
I still want you around

I don't give a damn
And I'd like you if you can to
Get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around

Once upon a time I drank a little wine
Was as happy as could be, happy as could be
Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof
Baby what do you think you're doing to me

Told you once before
And I won't tell you no more
So get down, get down, get down
You're a bad dog baby
But I still want you around, around
I still want you around

Bad baby, bad dog, baby
Bad baby, bad dog, baby
Bad baby, bad dog, baby
Bad baby, bad dog, baby
Bad baby..
