Lyrics
The way you treat me, baby only I can comprehend
The way you treat me is something only I can understand.
The way it is no one else could ever understand
The current situation is unique, and no one else can truly comprehend it.
The way that you text me, The way that you let me
Describing the ways of communication and connection in the relationship.
Get to know the real you
Expressing the desire to know the authentic self of the partner.
Ain't no one respect me, They try and finesse me
Highlighting that others try to deceive but fail in taking the speaker away from their partner.
To steal me away from you
People attempt to manipulate the speaker, but they remain loyal to their partner.
You were in to me, I wasn't in to you
Recalling a past situation where the partner was interested, but the speaker was not.
But what's in the past, is only overdue
Past events are acknowledged, but the focus is on the present and future.
I didn't wanna see, what both of us can do
The speaker didn't want to acknowledge the potential of the relationship initially.
What me and you could be, I let you pursue
Allowing the partner to pursue the relationship, indicating a change in perspective.
You used to text me not knowing there was someone else (echo or hold), Ohhh
Reflecting on the past when the partner was unaware of another person in the speaker's life.
Just tryna find the one that was for yourself
Searching for the right partner among others.
Baby, I'll be your quarterback
Declaration of commitment, with the speaker as the "quarterback."
They try and take me down, I won't take a sack
Resisting challenges and setbacks in the relationship.
If I only knew that you wanted me, maybe the time we wasted could all come back
If the speaker had known the partner's feelings earlier, time wouldn't have been wasted.
Baby, I'll be your quarterback
Reiteration of commitment and resistance to obstacles.
They try and take me down, I won't take a sack
Continuation of the theme of overcoming challenges.
If I only knew that you wanted me, maybe the time we wasted could all come back
Reflecting on missed opportunities if the partner's feelings were known earlier.
I'm the only one, who knows whats best for me
Asserting individual autonomy and decision-making.
No one could hold me back, from my gorgeous queen
No external force can prevent the speaker from being with their beloved.
Gas tank on full, I'd drive it down to E
Metaphorical expression of a full commitment to the relationship.
If I'm A you're B, I drive from A to B
Using alphabetical references to emphasize devotion and connection.
Designer all new on your back
Symbolizing a commitment with new and quality things.
Remind you that we're gonna last
Assurance that the relationship will endure.
I'll come find you wherever you're at
Promising to be present and find the partner wherever they are.
Work myself to the ground just so you can relax
Hard work to provide comfort and relaxation for the partner.
Yeah I'm your quarterback, I won't take a sack
Reiteration of commitment with a sports analogy.
You can rely on me, The standards high for me
Assurance of reliability and high standards in the relationship.
No time ever wasted, learned from my mistake
No time spent in the relationship is considered wasted; lessons are learned.
That I made you wait, you didn't have to wait
Acknowledging and apologizing for making the partner wait in the past.
It was my fault you waited, young aggravated
Taking responsibility for causing frustration in the past.
I wish you came to me, and advocated
Expressing a wish for the partner to communicate their feelings.
The way you felt
Referencing emotions and material possessions to signify the depth of love.
Designer belt
Symbolic mention of a designer belt, suggesting a valuable relationship.
Your love has no price to me and I never would sell it
Affirming the priceless nature of the partner's love.
Baby, I'll be your quarterback
Reiteration of commitment with the role of a quarterback.
They try and take me down, I won't take a sack
Facing challenges with resilience and determination.
If I only knew, that you wanted me, maybe the time we wasted could all come back
Reflecting on the potential regret if the partner's feelings were known earlier.
Baby, I'll be your quarterback
Continuation of the commitment and resistance to adversity.
They try and take me down, I won't take a sack
Reiteration of the idea that challenges won't deter the commitment.
If I only knew that you wanted me, maybe the time we wasted could all come back
Expressing the wish to undo the time wasted due to unawareness of the partner's feelings.
Quarterback, I'll be your quarterback
Reaffirmation of the speaker as the quarterback in the relationship.
Baby I'm your quarterback
Final declaration of being the partner's quarterback.
