Come On Come On
Little Birdy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got someone on the left of my left side
I got cigarette on cigarette mindful
I got foolish so I took him on home I said ooo oo

you don't need me don't tell me you want me
I I'm over it
You can't have it and that's why you want it
I I'm over it

baby if you and me aren't trying



I can't see the point
Come on come on
Baby if you and me aren't trying
I can't see the point
Come on come on

I got exorcist on my morning station
A foolish mind giving me my own halo
I am tempted into your living room
I said ooo ooo oo

you don't need me don't tell me you want me
I I'm over it
You can't have it and that's why you want it
I I'm over it

baby if you and me aren't trying
I can't see the point
Come on come on
Baby if you and me aren't trying
I can't see the point
Come on come on

Coz you and me are holdin'
You and me are holding on
But if time alone, aches and bruises this heart of mine
I will place my weary head and sleep alone

baby if you and me aren't trying
I can't see the point
Come on come on
Baby if you and me aren't trying
I can't see the point
Come on come on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Little Birdy’s “Come On Come On” are about a person who is in a relationship with someone who may not be fully committed to them. The first verse mentions someone beside the singer on their left side, and their smoking habit. They then mention bringing someone home, possibly after meeting them at a bar or club. The chorus shows the singer’s frustration with the lack of effort from their partner in the relationship. They are feeling unappreciated and seem to be at a crossroads – they want to continue the relationship, but only if their partner is willing to put in the effort.


The second verse mentions a morning exorcist show, which could be interpreted as the singer attempting to rid themselves of thoughts of their partner. Despite their attempts to move on, they find themselves drawn to their partner again and visit their living room. The chorus repeats, with the singer expressing their disappointment with their partner’s lack of effort in the relationship. The bridge is a plea to their partner to try harder in the relationship or risk losing the singer altogether. The chorus repeats again, effectively ending the song on a slightly ambiguous note – we’re not sure if the relationship will continue or come to an end.


Line by Line Meaning

I got someone on the left of my left side
I have someone to my left who is emotionally distant


I got cigarette on cigarette mindful
I'm chain smoking, lost in thought


I got foolish so I took him on home I said ooo oo
I made a mistake by bringing him home and regret it now


you don't need me don't tell me you want me I I'm over it You can't have it and that's why you want it I I'm over it
I'm tired of your games and insincere advances


baby if you and me aren't trying I can't see the point Come on come on
If we're not going to work for this relationship, then what's the point?


I got exorcist on my morning station A foolish mind giving me my own halo I am tempted into your living room I said ooo ooo oo
I'm listening to scary music in the morning, feeding into my own delusions of grandeur. I am tempted to be with you even though I know it's not healthy


Coz you and me are holdin' You and me are holding on But if time alone, aches and bruises this heart of mine I will place my weary head and sleep alone
We may be holding on, but if being alone is better for me in the long run, I will choose that
