Tei Shi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
If you let me stay
Please don't say
That I'm begging you for love
Baby, let me stay
When the world is gone
Promise I'll behave
Never right you wrong
Is that what you want
Like the other boys?
Someone you can throw
Like the other toys?
Is that what you found
Like the other boys
Someone you can drown
Like the other noise?!
Baby, I'll behave
If you let me stay.
Please don't say
That I'm begging you for love.
The song "Bassically" by Tei Shi is about a person who is begging for acceptance in a relationship. The lyrics talk about how the singer promises to behave and never wrong the other person, but fears being treated like a toy or being drowned out like noise. The first verse asks for permission to remain in the relationship, promising to behave if allowed to stay. The second verse questions whether the other person wants someone who can be thrown away like a toy or drowned out like background noise.
The chorus repeats the desire to stay and promises to behave, but also begs that the other person not accuse the singer of begging for love. The lyrics show vulnerability and insecurity, as the singer fears rejection and being treated poorly in the relationship. The repetition of the promise to behave and the fear of being cast aside or silenced highlights the inner turmoil of the singer.
Overall, "Bassically" is a poignant portrayal of the fear and uncertainty involved in seeking acceptance and stability in a relationship. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a situation where they fear being rejected or mistreated by someone they care about.

Baby, I'll behave
If you let me stay
Please don't think
That I'm begging you for love
Baby, let me stay
When the world is gone
Promise I'll behave
Never right your wrongs
Is that what you want?
Like the other boys
Someone you can flaunt
Like the other toys
Is that what you found?
Like the other boys
Someone you can drown
Like the other noise
Baby, I'll behave
If you let me stay
Please don't think
That I'm begging you for love
