Lyrics
I'm like, ooh, ooh
I express excitement or admiration
Yeah
Confirmation or agreement
And I can't feel a damn thing
Emotionally numb or detached
I'm sayin' like
Expressing a thought or opinion
Woohoo
Exclamation or celebration
Woohoo
-They sell you dreams
Critique of dreams being deceptive, comparing to leaves instead of roses
It's not roses, just leaves
-Yeah like
Exclamation or celebration
Woohoo
-Woohoo
Comparing people to Shein and Alex McQueen
They're just like Shein
-I'm like Alex McQueen
Personal association with a designer (Alex McQueen)
Yeah and
-All of my love is
Claiming to offer exactly what the listener needs, emphasizing it's free
Exactly what you need
-It's for free
Reminder not to forget the speaker
Don't forget 'bout me
Time reference (quarter to three) and expressing being drunk
It's quarter to three
-I'm drunk
Desire for connection, reaching out to someone
So I hit you up
-Don't leave me hangin' bae
-These dudes, they're just copies
Characterizing other men as copies
It's killin' me softly
Expressing emotional pain but still making contact
Still callin' you up
-Just pick that shit up, yeah
Encouraging the listener to answer the call
That man don't treat you right
Commenting on others mistreating the listener
That's why you hate them guys
-How you gon' say they just like me
-Stretch like cellulite
-I never made it up
Denying making up excuses, suggesting neglect of the listener's heart
Your heart collecting dust
-I'm tryna say just what I mean
Emphasizing straightforward communication, not selling illusions
Not selling you a dream, yeah
-Don't give your heart, they'll put in their briefcase
Warning against giving one's heart away easily
If you wanted hundred roses, I could steal it
-I get you wet like Tahoe in the heat
Boasting about ability to arouse emotions, contrasting with someone who freezes
He just make you freeze
-Can't count it in degrees
-I'm sayin' like
Exclamation or celebration
Woohoo
-Woohoo
Reiteration of dreams being deceptive, comparing to leaves
They sell you dreams
-It's not roses, just leaves
Exclamation or celebration
Yeah like
-Woohoo
Reiteration of people being like Shein and Alex McQueen
Woohoo
-They're just like Shein
Reinforcement of personal association with Alex McQueen
I'm like Alex McQueen
-Yeah and
Reassurance that the speaker's love fulfills the listener's needs
All of my love is
-Exactly what you need
Emphasizing that the love is free
It's for free
-Don't forget 'bout me
Reminder not to be forgotten
It's quarter to three
Time reference and state of intoxication
I'm drunk
Reaching out due to intoxication
So I hit you up
-Don't leave me hangin' bae
Pleading not to be left hanging
These dudes, they're just copies
Characterizing other men as copies
It's killin' me softly
Expressing emotional pain but still making contact
Still callin' you up
Encouraging the listener to answer the call
Just pick that shit up
-Yeah, let's go
Introduction of a new section or change in tone
Don't know where to start
Expressing difficulty and reluctance, not wanting to hurt the listener
It's starting to get hard
-It's starting to get hard
-Not trying to break your heart
-Not trying to break your heart
Continuation of the struggle, not wanting to cause emotional pain
Girl it's tearing me apart
-Not trying to break your heart
-I just need to go far
Expressing a need for distance, conflicting with a previous promise to be there
I said I'd be there for you
-Why would you leave
Questioning the listener's decision to leave
Said I don't feel it for you
-Girl, what you mean
Expressing efforts to show love, frustration at not being understood
I try my best to show you
-But you can't see
-I was here waiting for you
Waiting for the listener and questioning the decision to leave</td
Why would you leave
