Lyrics
Lately I’d be anywhere with anyone but you
Lately, I'd rather be anywhere with anyone but you
See when does it end and baby where do we begin?
Questioning the duration and starting point of the relationship
You and me, we go way back
Reflecting on a long history with the partner
But maybe we need to stay back
Suggesting a need to maintain some distance in the relationship
Sayin' words we can’t take back, no
Regret over saying hurtful words that cannot be taken back
We tough it out, don’t you get that?
Expressing resilience in tough situations
I ride for you and I meant that
Commitment to standing by the partner despite difficulties
So baby make it reciprocal
Desiring mutual effort and commitment from the partner
See I
Expressing a wish for the partner to understand unspoken thoughts
Wish that you could read my mind
Desire for the partner to comprehend internal struggles
With all I hold inside
Referencing emotional baggage or secrets held within
See I really don’t know who them other girls you with
Uncertainty and curiosity about the partner's interactions with other girls
Who you were and what they did
Unknown details about the partner's past actions with other people
All I know is what it is
Emphasizing limited knowledge about the partner's past
And baby I ain’t used to it
Expressing discomfort with unfamiliar or challenging situations
(Boy the only problem is you)
Identifying the partner as the source of the problem
And baby I ain’t used it
Reiterating discomfort with an unfamiliar situation
(Boy the only problem is you)
Reaffirming the partner's role in the perceived problem
You should know that I don’t
Asserting a commitment to open communication without holding back
I don’t be biting my tongue so that you could say what you want, no
Emphasizing the importance of honesty in expression
And I respect you the most
Expressing respect for the partner's opinions
I wouldn’t walk out on you when I don’t get things that I want
Commitment to the relationship despite unfulfilled desires
We’re wasting time
Recognizing the wastage of time in the relationship
And you keep lyin'
Acknowledging dishonesty within the relationship
And I keep cryin'
Expressing emotional pain and distress
But we keep tryin'
Commitment to persevering despite challenges
It won’t always perfect
Acknowledging imperfections in the relationship
I know respect and deserve it
Recognizing the importance of respect in relationships
Relationships are hard work but won’t work
Stating that relationships require effort and a willingness to fight for them
If you don’t put up a fight
Highlighting the necessity of active participation in the relationship
I wish that you could read my mind
Reiterating the desire for the partner to understand inner thoughts
With all I hold inside
Reflecting on the burden of emotions kept inside
See I really don’t know who them other girls you with
Curiosity and uncertainty about the partner's interactions with other girls
Who you were and what they did
Unknown details about the partner's past actions with other people
All I know is what it is
Emphasizing limited knowledge about the partner's past
And baby I ain’t used to it
Expressing discomfort with unfamiliar or challenging situations
(Boy the only problem is you)
Identifying the partner as the source of the problem
And baby I ain’t used it
Reiterating discomfort with an unfamiliar situation
(Boy the only problem is you)
Reaffirming the partner's role in the perceived problem
We fulfilled the prophecy
Claiming the fulfillment of a predicted outcome or destiny
You can miss me with the shit that you do to me
Rejecting negative behavior from the partner
Cause I won’t stick around less you prove to me
Setting a condition for commitment based on the partner's actions
We fulfilled the prophecy
Claiming the fulfillment of a predicted outcome or destiny
You can miss me with the shit that you do to me
Rejecting negative behavior from the partner
Cause I won’t stick around less you prove to me
Setting a condition for commitment based on the partner's actions
