Lyrics
It’s after midnight
Reflecting on the time, likely late at night.
Why my phone light up like “are you comin’ thru?”
Noticing messages or calls asking if the person is coming over.
Whatever happened to doin’ all the small things
Questioning the absence of small gestures in relationships, referencing Blink 182's song as a comparison.
Blink 182
Referencing the band Blink 182.
So where are they
Inquiring about people who are genuine and not playing games.
The ones that don’t play
Seeking individuals who are as smooth and authentic as Sade.
Smooth like Sade
Continuing the search for sincere and smooth individuals.
Tell me
Requesting information or an explanation.
It’s either up or we ain’t goin’ anywhere
Expressing a commitment to progress and not settling for mediocrity.
And if they don’t feel like the 90’s I don’t care
Indicating a preference for a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of the 90s.
Just a classic thing that lasts
Desiring a lasting and timeless connection.
Don’t think that’s too much to ask
Believing that desiring a classic relationship is not too demanding.
If they don’t got me with my hands up in the air
Expecting others to recognize and appreciate celebratory moments.
They can find somebody else
Asserting independence and readiness to move on if not valued.
They can find somebody else
Reiterating the readiness to find someone else if necessary.
Want a bandit
Expressing a desire for a captivating and adventurous partner.
Tryna steal my heart and never say goodbye
Seeking a committed relationship without goodbyes.
But like Alanis it be so ironic
Noting the irony in relationships when someone finally commits.
When they finally try
Highlighting the unexpected nature of commitment.
So where are they
Repeating the search for authentic and rock-solid individuals.
That rock like Mötley
Desiring individuals who exude confidence and smoothness, similar to the band Mötley.
Smooth like Sade
Reiterating the preference for authenticity and smoothness.
Tell me (tell me cuz)
Asking for clarification or information.
It’s either up or we ain’t goin’ anywhere
Stating the need for progress and not settling for stagnation.
And if they don’t feel like the 90’s I don’t care
Emphasizing the desire for a 90s vibe in relationships.
Just a classic thing that lasts
Reiterating the longing for a classic and enduring connection.
Don’t think that’s too much to ask
Maintaining that desiring a classic relationship is reasonable.
If they don’t got me with my hands up in the air
Expecting recognition and celebration in a relationship.
They can find somebody else
Reasserting independence and the readiness to move on if unappreciated.
They can find somebody else
Repeating the willingness to find someone else if necessary.
(If they don’t feel like the 90’s I don’t care)
Reiterating the preference for a 90s-style relationship.
It’s either up or we ain’t goin’ anywhere
Stating the importance of progress in relationships.
And if they don’t feel like the 90’s I don’t care
Emphasizing the desire for a nostalgic relationship.
Just a classic thing that lasts
Reiterating the wish for a lasting and classic connection.
Don’t think that’s too much to ask
Maintaining that desiring a classic relationship is not too much to ask.
If they don’t got me with my hands up in the air
Expecting celebration and recognition in a relationship.
They can find somebody else
Reiterating independence and the readiness to move on if not valued.
