Lyrics
You go mess with my head, you go mess with my head
You are playing with my emotions, causing confusion
Then you get in my bed, then you get in my bed
Eventually, you end up in an intimate relationship with me
Why you pullin’ me straight, why you pullin’ me straight
Questioning the reason for your straightforward actions
Cus I don’t know what to say, I don't know what to say
Expressing confusion and speechlessness
Why you messin’ my brain, why you messin’ my brain
Asking why you are messing with my thoughts
Then you drive me insane, then you drive me insane
Resulting in driving me crazy and overwhelmed
But you my baby girl, you my baby girl
Affirming affection despite the confusion
Why you pullin’ me straight, why you pullin me straight’
Reiterating the confusion caused by straightforward actions
But I’ve got, I’ve got a secret
Confessing to having a secret
And I try to, I try to keep it
Attempting to keep the secret hidden
But my impulses are burning
Struggling with impulsive desires
And the devils in my bed
Alluding to a presence of temptation or negativity in a relationship
The devils in my head
Reiterating the presence of negativity or temptation in thoughts
You’ve been around some time, you’ve been around some time
Acknowledging the partner's long presence
So why’d you mess with my mind, why’d you mess with my mind
Questioning why the partner is causing mental disturbance
But are you okay, But are you okay
Expressing concern about the partner's well-being
Cus you’re my lovely day, you’re my lovely day
Affirming the partner's positive influence
Why’d you drive me insane, why’d you drive me insane
Asking why the partner is causing emotional turmoil
Then you mess with my brain, then you mess with my brain
Highlighting the partner's impact on thoughts
But you my baby girl, you my baby girl
Reaffirming affection despite the confusion
Why you pullin’ me straight, why you pullin me straight’
Reiterating the confusion caused by straightforward actions
Cus I’ve got, I’ve got a secret
Confessing to having a secret (repeated)
And I’ll try to, I’ll try to keep it
Attempting to keep the secret hidden (repeated)
But my impulses are burning
Struggling with impulsive desires (repeated)
And the devils in my bed
Alluding to a presence of temptation or negativity (repeated)
The devils in my head
Reiterating the presence of negativity or temptation (repeated)
