Wait Till It Happens to You
Unveiling the Bitter Truth: When Circumstances Turn Tables
Lyrics
Just you wait till it happens to you
Warning that the listener will understand when they experience a similar situation themselves.
I can't get no attention
Expressing frustration at not receiving any attention or recognition.
And you all love to pick on me
Feeling targeted or bullied by others while they enjoy doing so.
I just wonder why
Questioning the reasons behind the treatment received.
You do me like you do
Commenting on the unfair treatment received from someone.
Just you wait till it happens to you
Reiterating the warning that the listener will understand the feeling when they experience a similar situation.
Now you sittin' there and you're laughin'
Observing someone laughing, suggesting they find the situation amusing.
So I guess the joke's on me
Feeling like the subject of ridicule, implied by the joke being on the singer.
I just wonder why
Revisiting the confusion about the treatment received from the person.
You do me like you do
Reflecting on the unfair actions of someone towards the singer.
Just you wait till it happens to you
Reiterating the warning of the consequences when the listener faces a similar situation.
You knew how much I loved you
Expressing the depth of love felt for the person mistreating the singer.
And you knew how much I really care
Highlighting the awareness of the singer's care for the person.
One day you wake up
Describing a moment of awakening or realization that leads to feeling upset.
And you feelin' bad
Expressing a negative emotional state upon waking up.
Then you realize
Realization of the absence of a true friend during difficult times.
That true friend that you have
Emphasizing the absence of reciprocal love in a relationship.
Well love don't love nobody
Asserting that love doesn't favor anyone.
Now you know I feel to be down and out
Expressing empathy for feeling down and out as the singer does.
I just wonder why
Revisiting the confusion and questioning the reasons behind mistreatment.
You do me like you do
Highlighting the unfair treatment received from someone.
Just you wait till it happens to you
Reiteration of the warning about experiencing a similar situation.
Ooh Just you wait till it happens
Repeating the warning about the future experience of the listener.
