[Intro]
Ooh-ooh (Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
Ooh-ooh, oh (Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
[Verse 1]
A few weeks ago
I saw you front row
And my heart stopped at the sight (Ooh, yeah)
Thought you were solo (Thought you were solo)
But you got a girl though (But you got a girl though)
And my life ain’t been the same
Been feelin’
[Pre-Chorus]
Mentally, physically weak (Uh-uh, uh-uh)
Boy’s blowin’ up my phone (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
But he just ain’t you, oh, baby
I’m meant to be on my own (Uh-uh, uh-uh)
But just before I call (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
There’s something you should know
And boy, I
[Chorus]
I fantasize about it all the time
If you were mine
I’d give this pussy to you, nine-to-five, five-to-nine
Try to behave, but I’m feelin’ some type of way
That just ain’t me
[Verse 2]
A few months later
You’re still togеther (Oh, babe)
And you just can’t tell mе why (Why)
So, boy, stop pretendin’, yeah
‘Cause I won’t keep waitin’
I’m out the door, bye, bye, bye (Totally leaving right now)
Been feelin’
[Pre-Chorus]
Mentally, physically weak (Weak) (Uh-uh, uh-uh)
Boy’s blowin’ up my phone (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
But he just ain’t you, oh, baby (You)
I’m meant to be on my own (I’d rather be on my own)
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
But just before I go (I go) (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
There’s something you should know (Should know)
And boy, I
[Chorus]
I fantasize about it all the time
If you were mine (If you were mine, baby)
I’d give this pussy to you, nine-to-five, five-to-nine
Try to behave, but I’m feelin’ some type of way
That just ain’t me
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
(I could never do anything like that)
Ooh-ooh, oh
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
(I mean, I would, but, I’m just too nice, and too hot)
[Pre-Chorus]
Mentally, physically weak
Boy’s blowin’ up my phone
But he just ain’t you, ooh, baby
[Chorus]
I fantasize about it all the time (Time)
If you were mine (If you were mine)
I’d give this pussy to you, nine-to-five, five-to-nine
Try to behave, but I’m feelin’ some type of way (Some type of way)
That just ain’t me
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh (Haha, ha) (Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
That just ain’t me, baby, ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, oh (Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
Tryna behave
Try to behave, but I’m feelin’ some type of way (Some type of way)
That just ain’t me
The song depicts a passionate and conflicted love story. It is sung from the perspective of someone who is infatuated with a person who is already in a committed relationship. Throughout the song, the protagonist expresses their longing and desire for this person, despite knowing that they should move on.
In the beginning, the protagonist reminisces about seeing the person they are attracted to in the front row at a concert, and their heart was immediately captivated. They reveal that even though they are constantly pursued by other suitors, none of them can compare to the one they fantasize about. The protagonist acknowledges that they are meant to be on their own, but they cannot help but fantasize about being with this person all the time.
As time passes, the person the protagonist desires is still together with their partner, leaving the protagonist frustrated and feeling mentally and physically weak due to unrequited love. Despite the difficulties of the situation, they admit that if the person were to become available, they would give everything to be with them. The lyrics “I’d give this pussy to you, nine-to-five, five-to-nine” symbolize the protagonist’s willingness to be with the person not just during the typical working hours but all the time.
In the bridge, the protagonist mentions they could never do anything like that, suggesting that they are trying to maintain their moral boundaries and not actively pursue someone who is already taken. However, they humorously add that they would consider it if they weren’t so nice and attractive themselves, implying a struggle between their desires and their principles.
The song concludes with the protagonist acknowledging that they need to try and behave, but they can’t help feeling a strong emotional pull towards the person they fantasize about. Despite recognizing that it’s not right to pursue someone who is in a committed relationship, they find it hard to resist these intense feelings.
Overall, the song delves into the complexities of love, attraction, and the inner conflict that arises when someone desires someone they shouldn’t have. It explores the universal theme of forbidden love and the challenges one faces when trying to suppress strong emotions.
