Lyrics
(Hey, hey)
Greeting or attention grabber
Why your eyes on your phone as soon as you saw my face
Questioning someone's behavior of looking at their phone upon seeing the speaker
(Saw my face)
Reiteration of the observation of the person's face
Why you acting so cold like you don't wanna come my way
Noting the cold behavior, suggesting reluctance to approach
(Come my way)
Expressing a desire for the person to come closer
I know I said to leave me alone but baby my mind just changed
Admitting a change of mind about being alone
(Mind just changed)
Highlighting the change of mind
What you gotta say
Asking for a response
(Don't complain)
Advising not to complain
What you gotta say
Repeating the question, emphasizing the importance of a response
Cause I can't go home alone in my bed
Expressing a need for companionship
Just another night I need yah, don't make me feel inferior
Desire for emotional connection, fear of feeling inferior
But I can't let you be more than my friend
Setting boundaries, not wanting a deeper relationship
I ain't tryna make you leave her just don't make me feel inferior
Reiterating the desire not to feel inferior, acknowledging existing commitments
Cause I like that you like me
Repeated expression of mutual liking, juxtaposed with the newness of the girlfriend
And I like that I like you too
-Yeah I like that you like me
-But your girlfriend look brand new
-Cause I like that you like me
-And I like that I like you too
-Yeah I like that you like me
-But your girlfriend look brand new
-(Just leave)
Suggesting leaving the situation
Not a fling anymore and it irks me to make you cheat
Not wanting to be part of cheating, acknowledging changed dynamics
(Make you cheat)
Highlighting a preference for being chosen despite not wanting a commitment
I don't want to be yours I just love that your choice is me
Admitting insecurities and feeling the need to compete
(You choose me)
Appreciating being chosen despite insecurity
Maybe I'm just too insecure cause I feel like I gotta compete
Speculating on insecurities affecting the speaker's actions
(Gotta compete)
Feeling the need to withdraw or leave the situation
I gotta retreat
-(Gotta compete)
-I should just leave
-Cause I can't go home alone in my bed
Repeating the theme of mutual liking, contrasted with the girlfriend's newness
Just another night I need yah, don't make me feel inferior
-But I can't let you be more than my friend
-I ain't tryna make you leave her just don't make me feel inferior
-Cause I like that you like me
-And I like that I like you too
-Yeah I like that you like me
-But your girlfriend look brand new
-Cause I like that you like me
-And I like that I like you too
-Yeah I like that you like me
-But your girlfriend look brand new
-But we both grown right
Considering the consequences of continuing the relationship, urging a decision
Maybe one more night, no lie
-Cause you feel so nice
-Can we both hold tight, hold tight
-We can go slow right
-You control your life it's your life
-But it ain't alright
-So we let go right, don't fight
-Cause I like that you like me
Final repetition of mutual liking, acknowledging the newness of the girlfriend
And I like that I like you too
-Yeah I like that you like me
-But your girlfriend look brand new
-Cause I like that you like me
-And I like that I like you too
-Yeah I like that you like me
-But your girlfriend look brand new
