Lyrics
So whatcha' got to say?
Expressing curiosity or inviting conversation.
Been tryna head the other way
Attempting to go in a different direction or make a change.
But it's so hard to do
Acknowledging the difficulty of making the intended change.
When
Transition to a new topic or thought.
I got this little-baby-boy
Referring to a child, possibly the speaker's son.
Just
Transitioning to a new idea or person.
Clinging to my side
Describing the child's attachment to the speaker.
And I'd like to know
Expressing a desire to understand the other person's life.
Just how life's been
Expressing curiosity about the other side of life.
On the other side
Continuing the theme of curiosity about the other side of life.
But I don't wanna
Stating a reluctance to hear from a specific person.
Hear from you
Expressing a desire to avoid communication with the mentioned person.
Ain't no sense in talkn'
Rejecting the idea of talking or conversing.
Lord only knows
Acknowledging that only a higher power knows the truth.
It never ends with talkin'
Highlighting that talking doesn't lead to resolution.
So tell me how it feels
Asking the other person to describe their feelings about their actions.
Doin what cha do-o
Encouraging the other person to continue doing what they do.
Oh woah
An exclamation expressing an emotional response.
And I'll be the first to admit it
Acknowledging a willingness to admit something.
Yeah, yeah
Repeating an affirmation, possibly about admitting something.
And how could I go on
Pondering the difficulty of living without the mentioned person's love.
Without your love, boy?
Expressing a need for the mentioned person's love.
I know you up and moved on
Acknowledging that the mentioned person has moved on.
Did you forget dear?
Asking if the mentioned person has forgotten something important.
So whatcha' got to say?
Repeating the opening line, seeking a response.
Been tryna head the other way
Reiterating the attempt to change direction or move away.
But it's so hard to do
Reiterating the difficulty of making the intended change.
When
Ending abruptly, leaving the thought or situation unresolved.
