Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment
Woo
Exclamation, expressing enthusiasm
In Tha Night
Introduction to the theme of the song, "In Tha Night"
Baby, you call out my name
Addressing the act of calling the speaker's name
But, I don't want you
Declaring the speaker's lack of desire for the caller
(No, I don't want you)
Reiteration of the speaker's disinterest
But, In Tha Night
Reintroduction of the theme, "In Tha Night"
I get caught on yo complexion
Expressing attraction to the caller's complexion at night
Like I want to
Desire to flaunt the caller
Go and flaunt you, woah, woah, woah
Expressive emphasis on the desire to flaunt
You can't imagine where my mind goes
Speculating on the thoughts in the speaker's mind
When I see you in those jeans
Admiration for the caller in jeans
But, imagine where we would be
Contemplation of an alternate reality if past issues were set aside
If we set aside our past and lived our dreams
Reflecting on the possibility of living dreams together
I go back and forth, sometimes
Conflicting emotions and uncertainty
Sometimes, I miss your love
Admission of missing the caller's love at times
But, you don't miss my touch, no more
Recognition that the caller no longer misses the speaker's touch
We can't be nothing
Acknowledging the impossibility of a relationship
Ouu, yeah, ouu, yeah
Repetition emphasizing the impossibility
(We can't be nothing)
Reiteration of the impossibility with emphasis
Ouu, yeah, ouu, yeah
Repetition for emphasis
(We can't be nothing)
Reiteration of the impossibility with emphasis
In Tha Night
Reintroduction of the theme, "In Tha Night"
All we do is fuss and fight
Describing a pattern of arguing and fighting at night
Girl, I don't want to
Reiteration of the speaker's lack of desire
(No, I don't want you)
Reiteration of the speaker's disinterest
But, In Tha Night
Reintroduction of the theme, "In Tha Night"
I get caught on yo complexion
Expressing attraction to the caller's complexion at night
Like I want to
Desire to flaunt the caller
Go and flaunt you, woah, woah, woah
Expressive emphasis on the desire to flaunt
Who we used to be
Reflecting on the past identity of the couple
New man, cause you got too used to me
Acknowledging a change in the caller due to familiarity
New plan, cause you got too used to the-
Acknowledging a need for a new plan due to familiarity
Way we did things, did things, girl
Reflecting on the past way of doing things
Yeah, we used to be
Recalling a time when the relationship was special
Something special, but you got too used to me
Noting the loss of that special quality
Nothing special bout our love
Asserting that there is nothing special about the current love
Cause we ain't the same no more, more
Emphasizing the difference in the relationship
I go back and forth, sometimes
Conflicting emotions and uncertainty
Sometimes, I miss your love
Admission of missing the caller's love at times
But, you don't miss my touch, no more
Recognition that the caller no longer misses the speaker's touch
We can't be nothing
Acknowledging the impossibility of a relationship
Ouu, yeah, ouu, yeah
Repetition emphasizing the impossibility
(We can't be nothing)
Reiteration of the impossibility with emphasis
Ouu, yeah, ouu, yeah
Repetition for emphasis
(We can't be nothing)
Reiteration of the impossibility with emphasis
