Lyrics
Do you remember all those days
Reflecting on past days and memories.
the way that you loved me in all those subtle ways
Recalling the subtle ways in which love was expressed.
I can remember before you were gone
Nostalgia for a time before the person left.
how when we heard our favorite song
Remembering the shared joy of hearing a favorite song.
on the radio you'd smile at me and sing along
Recalling moments of joy when the favorite song played.
(Chorus)
< em > Chorus: Expressing that the song was unique to their love.
but you can't sing our song for no other lover
< em > Chorus: Emphasizing that the song is exclusive to their relationship.
but you can't sing our song for no other love
< em > Chorus: Reiterating the exclusivity of the shared song.
You and me would go dancin' after dark
Recalling romantic moments of dancing in the dark.
long hot kisses and summer wishes in the park
Describing passionate moments and wishes during summer.
New York detail the car
Referring to details of their time in New York.
I never show up dirty on colored
Not showing up late and respecting others' time.
people's time I'd pick you up 11:30 late night
Picking up the partner late at night.
we'd roll my hooptie down the boulevard
Driving down the boulevard in a casual car.
bumpin' bass and rolling low like we was superstars
Enjoying a carefree, superstar-like vibe.
killing me softly with the way you whisper in my ear
Feeling captivated by the partner's whispers.
come here my dear
Expressing affectionate words to the partner.
they're playing songs from back in yesteryear
Listening to nostalgic songs from the past.
the slow Jammer the night programmer
Describing the slow, intimate moments of the night.
the time to get undressed and where pajama slammer the car antenna...
Referencing moments of undressing and intimacy.
picks up songs that belongs to us like birds of feather
Comparing their connection to birds of a feather.
like heatwave on scratchy forty five always forever
Referring to timeless songs that belong to them.
(Chorus)
< em > Chorus: Repeating the exclusivity of the shared song.
I was blind to blind to see I took
Realizing the oversight of not appreciating the partner.
for granted the dope shit that you did for me I mistook
Taking love for granted and mistaking it for captivity.
all your lovin' for captivity
Recognizing the misunderstanding of love.
like Ghetto boys I think my mind was playing tricks on me
Comparing the situation to the song "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" by Ghetto Boys.
I always wanted to let you know like Aretha Franklin
Expressing admiration for the partner's singing resembling Aretha Franklin.
you sing just like the queen of soul
Keeping feelings hidden due to too many secrets.
too many secrets in my heart I couldn't let it show
Expressing continued desire despite the separation.
know I still want you and I'm sad
Sadness over the decision to let go of the relationship.
we had to let it go...
(Chorus)
-(Chorus)
< em > Chorus: Final repetition of the exclusivity of the shared song.
