Lyrics
I got somethin' on the side
I have a secret relationship or affair.
(On the side, on the side, on the side, on the side, on the side)
Repetition emphasizes the secretive nature of the relationship.
Notice how you're pickin' up on all the signs
You're noticing the signs of my actions.
(Pickin' up on all the signs, all the signs, all the signs, all the signs, all the signs)
Repetition highlights the significance of the signs.
And now you're fuckin' up my paradise
Your actions are disrupting my peaceful state.
Why? (paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise)
Questioning the disturbance to paradise.
Mmm, just let me put it on the line
Expressing a desire to be straightforward.
Can't explain myself
Difficulty explaining the actions.
I hate feelin' guilty
Expressing dislike for the feeling of guilt.
Hate feelin' guilty
Reiteration of disliking guilt.
You don't deserve this

But you don't deserve this, baby (oh-nah, nah, nah)

It wasn't worth it, it's never worth it
Reiterating the lack of worth in the actions.
I can't even look at you in the same way
Unable to view the partner the same way due to regret.
With a straight face, wish I could change
Desire to change past mistakes with a serious expression.
All this shit I did on stupid mistakes
Regret over foolish errors repeated mentally.
On mental replay, I can't erase this delay
Referencing the persistent nature of the mental replay.
Hate feelin' guilty (I hate)
Repetition of hating the feeling of guilt.
You don't deserve this (deserve this, deserve this)
Acknowledgment that the partner doesn't deserve the guilt.

I'm sorry, babe, I'm sorry, babe

I'm sorry, babe, I'm sorry, baby
Apologizing and emphasizing regret for the partner.
You don't deserve this (ah)
Reaffirming that the partner doesn't deserve the situation.
It wasn't worth it, it's never worth it (let me talk to you, babe)
Reiterating the lack of worth in the actions.
There's a couple things I wanna get off my chest, babe
Expressing a need to confess some things.
I don't know how you gon' take it
Uncertainty about how the partner will react.
And if I was you, I would leave me too
If in the partner's position, the singer would leave as well.
But I guess that's the way it goes sometimes, ayy
Acceptance of the consequences as a part of life.
It's hard to be honest with you
Admitting the difficulty of honesty.
'Cause sometimes I want it all and sometimes I want none of it
Conflicting desires for everything or nothing.
And sometimes I want somethin' else (I'm sorry, babe)
Expressing occasional desire for something different.
But can you blame me? (I'm sorry, babe)
Asking for understanding given the complexities of human desires.
