Lyrics
Don't think assumptions
There shouldn't be presumptions or unfounded beliefs
I'm not submissive (I'm not submissive)
Clarification that the person is not submissive
You've got that essence for me
The person possesses a quality or vibe that appeals to the singer
She asking questions (she asking)
A female is asking questions
Just count your blessings (just count your blessings)
Focus on being grateful for what you have
You know it isn't that deep, oh woah
The situation isn't as serious or profound as it seems
You're the one that I've been thinking 'bout
The singer has been thinking about the listener
You don't know the details
The listener lacks information or specifics
Started in the wrong place
The relationship or situation began in the wrong way
You got me confused
The listener's actions or words have caused confusion
(Somebody oh, got me confused)
Expresses the singer's confusion caused by someone
(Somebody oh, got me confused)
Reiteration of confusion due to someone's actions or words
Don't go and take my love
Repeated plea not to disregard or discard the singer's love
And throw it away
-Don't go and take my love
-And throw it away
-Don't go and take my love
-And throw it away
-Don't go and take my love
-And throw it away
-You're the one that I've been thinking 'bout
Similar to lines 8-13, expressing confusion and lack of understanding
You don't know the details
-Started in the wrong place
-You got me confused
-Tell me what it's like when you feel
Desire to understand the emotions or experiences of the listener
I need someone to show me that real
Seeking someone to demonstrate genuine authenticity or reality
If she want me to think that it's gon hurt
Speculation that someone wants to make the singer feel pain
Something like prized possessions
Comparing the potential hurt to valuable possessions
But I got perfect intentions
Assurance of good intentions despite potential misunderstandings
You're the one that I've been thinking 'bout
Reiteration of confusion and lack of clarity
You don't know the details
-Started in the wrong place
-You got me confused
-Don't go and take my love
Repeated plea not to discard the singer's love
And throw it away
-Don't go and take my love
-And throw it away
-Don't go and take my love
-And throw it away
-Don't go and take my love
-And throw it away
