Lyrics

She said

Introduction: A woman is speaking.

I can tell from your figure that you got moves

Observing the person's physique and suggesting they have dance moves.

And I can tell from your clothes the shit that you do

Inferring the person's lifestyle from their clothing.

And I've been led to believe that you talk smooth

Believing the person speaks eloquently or convincingly.

But the day that I lay with you you can call me the fool

Warning that if they engage romantically, she might regret it.


'Cause that'll be the day that thugs cry

Envisioning a hypothetical future where unexpected things happen (thugs cry, nerds fight, etc.) if they are together.

And nerds fight

-

You'll have models in McDonalds

-

And robbers doing right while

-

Thugs cry

-

And nerds fight

-

You'll have models in McDonalds

-

And robbers doing right so

-

Please, please, please walk on by

Plea for the person to walk away.

I don't

Personal declaration of not needing that kind of life.

Need, need, need to live that life

Reiterating the lack of desire for that lifestyle.


I said

Speaker responding to the situation, acknowledging she might seem expendable.

I can agree that I seem like I'd be safe to lose

Acknowledging the perception that she might be easy to let go.

But are you prudent to be ruling out a date so soon

Questioning the wisdom of dismissing a potential date too quickly.

Yeah on paper I would wager that it's safer to split

Recognizing the apparent safety in ending things on paper.

But before you got me thinking 'bout a life that I'd love to live

Expressing thoughts about a life she would love to live.


A life where thugs cry

Continuing the hypothetical scenario, expressing desires for unexpected positive outcomes.

And nerds fight

-

I want models in McDonalds

-

And robbers doing right while

-

Thugs cry

-

And nerds fight

-

I want models in McDonalds

-

And robbers doing right so

-

Please, please, please don't walk on by

Plea for the person not to ignore her.

'Cause I

Reiteration of the need for that specific life.

Need, need, need to live that life

Repeating the lack of desire for an alternative lifestyle.

Please, please, please don't walk on by

Reiteration of the plea for the person not to walk away.

'Cause I

Repeating the need for that particular life.

Need, need, need to live that life

Final reiteration of the desire for the mentioned lifestyle.
