Lyrics
We started out as friends
The relationship began with a friendship.
You did everything to please me
The person made considerable efforts to please their partner.
To show that you wanna be my lover
Expressing a desire to escalate the relationship to a romantic level.
And now you wanna dis' me
Now, there's a desire to reject or disrespect.
I never meant to hurt your heart
Apology for unintentionally causing emotional pain.
And leave you all alone I've tried to change your mind
Attempts were made to change the partner's decision, but they remain distant.
But you're never comin' home
Despite efforts, the partner refuses to return.
She don't want to excuses
The partner doesn't want any explanations or justifications.
She won't even change her mind
Unwillingness to reconsider or alter their decision.
She's steppin' on my heart
Feeling emotionally hurt because of the partner's actions.
And I still hear her cry you lose
The partner expresses hearing the other cry over the loss.
(You lose) you lose
Repetition emphasizing the sentiment of losing.
(You lose) you lose
Continued emphasis on the feeling of losing.
Ooh no, and then she said
The partner expresses a reaction to the situation.
I think it's time for you yo find another lover
Suggesting it's time for the person to seek a new romantic relationship.
You see I've got mine and I don't want no other
Asserting the commitment to their current partner and not desiring another.
She broke my heart and left me for another
Feeling hurt because their partner left for someone else.
She just don't want my time
Belief that their partner doesn't value their time anymore.
She left me for another lover
Reiteration of being left for another lover.
We used to be so close
Reflecting on a previously close relationship.
We did everything under the sun
Describing the activities shared in the past.
How could she let me go
Confusion about why the partner let go despite feeling exclusive.
I thought I was the only one
Feeling betrayed, believing they were the only love interest.
She said I think it's time for you
Partner suggesting finding a new love interest.
To find yourself another lover
Reiterating the suggestion to find a different partner.
How could I be so blind she don't want my love no more
Realization that the partner no longer desires their love.
She don't want to excuses
Partner not willing to accept any explanations or justifications.
She won't even change her mind
Stubbornness in maintaining their decision.
She's steppin' on my heart
Feeling hurt due to the partner's actions.
And I still hear her cry you lose
Hearing the partner's cries of loss despite efforts.
(You lose) you lose
Reiteration emphasizing the sentiment of losing.
(You lose) you lose
Continued emphasis on the feeling of losing.
Ooh no, and then she said
No specific meaning.
