Lyrics
hey there you boy i've done had it with this
Expression of frustration with a boy's behavior.
all day i've been watching your ways
Observation of the boy's actions throughout the day.
it seems when the ladies walk by
Noticing the boy's attention to other women passing by.
you're head can't keep from turning see finally I'm learnin
Recognition that the boy's head turns when other ladies walk by, indicating a lack of commitment.
oh no way not me i'm not havin that there
Firm refusal to tolerate such behavior.
i see soon we'll be headin our own ways
Acknowledgment of an impending separation.
there's no explination for me
Expressing that there is no valid excuse for the boy's actions.
cause you can't be huggin on me when you're eyes are across the street oh
Highlighting the inconsistency of receiving affection while the boy's attention is elsewhere.
CHORUS
i could care less in how hard it may be
Indifference to the challenges of the situation.
your eyes better not wander while you're walking next to me
Setting a clear expectation that the boy's eyes should not wander while walking together.
if she's so fine then that's where you should be
Suggesting that if the other woman is attractive, the boy should be with her.
your eyes better not wander while your walking next to me, oh
Reiteration of the expectation that the boy remains focused while walking together.
ok, that's it, I'm not feeling like this
Decision to end the emotional distress caused by the situation.
i see, I'm just cramping, your style
Realization that she is inhibiting the boy's preferred way of life.
boy don't you walk faster than me
Request for the boy to slow down.
lemme holla at cha later
Expressing intent to talk later, avoiding negativity.
i refuse to be a hater
Refusal to become envious or resentful.
go head, get that, you go kick it with her
Encouraging the boy to pursue his interest with another woman.
don't trip, I'm gonna find me a, new friend
Commitment to finding a new companion.
it's so disrepectful to me
Emphasizing the disrespectful nature of the boy's divided attention.
when you're hangin out with me, but your eyes are across the street, oh
Reiterating the discomfort when the boy's focus is elsewhere while spending time together.
CHORUS (REPEAT)
don't go let em wander wander wander wander wander
Commanding the boy not to let his eyes wander.
CHORUS (REPEAT TO FADE)
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of the message.
