Lyrics
Lack is what I think of
Lack is what comes to mind when thinking about something
When I think of you
Thinking of you brings a sense of absence or deficiency
When I think you
The thought of you is associated with a feeling of inadequacy
Reflecting, like a window
Reflecting on you is like looking through a window
When I look at you
When looking at you, there's a sense of transparency
When I look through you
Looking through you reveals something less genuine
I've cried, 3 too many times
Experienced excessive crying, unrelated to the person
And you're not the reason why
The person is not the cause of the tears
You don't know how
You lack the ability to make me feel alive
To make me feel alive
Inability to elicit a sense of vitality
And I'm left asking
Left questioning the purpose or reason
Why
Expressing confusion or frustration
Cause
Transitioning to an explanation or cause
You're not good to me baby
Addressing the person as not being good for the speaker
You're not good to me
Reiteration of the person's negative impact
You're not good for me baby
Emphasizing the person's unsuitability
No, You're not good for me, oh
Confirmation that the person is not beneficial
You're not good for me lately
Stating the person's recent negative influence
You're not driving me crazy
Denying that the person is causing emotional disturbance
You're not good to me lately
Reiteration of the person's recent negative impact
You're not good for me, oh
Confirming the person is not good for the speaker
Now I'm getting anxious
Feeling unease or nervousness when thinking about the person
When I think of you
Expressing uncertainty about what to do regarding the person
What am I gon' do
Questioning actions or decisions related to the person
I can't believe you're late again
Expressing disbelief or frustration at the person's tardiness
Your priority's your friends
The person prioritizes friends over responsibilities
Go on and play pretend
Encouraging the person to pretend everything is fine
I've cried, 3 too many times
Experienced excessive crying, not caused by the person
And you're not the reason why
The person is not the reason for the tears
You don't know how
The person lacks the ability to make the speaker feel alive
To make me feel alive
Inability to induce a sense of vitality
And I'm left asking
Left questioning the purpose or reason once again
Why
Reiteration of confusion or frustration
You're not good to me baby
Addressing the person as not being good for the speaker
You're not good to me
Reiteration of the person's negative impact
You're not good for me baby
Emphasizing the person's unsuitability
No You're not good for me, oh
Confirmation that the person is not beneficial
You're not good for me lately
Stating the person's recent negative influence
You're not driving me crazy
Denying that the person is causing emotional disturbance
You're not good for me baby
Reiteration of the person's recent negative impact
No you're no good
Final declaration that the person is not good
To me
Reiteration of the person's negative impact on the speaker
What would you do to keep your woman happy
Pose a hypothetical question about actions to maintain a woman's happiness
If it were me I would do it differently
Expressing a personal inclination to handle things differently
What would you do to keep you're woman happy
Repeating the hypothetical question about actions for a woman's happiness
Where do you go when you are next to me
Asking about the person's whereabouts when physically close
