702 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't really wanna stay,
I don't really wanna go,
But I really need to know,
Can we get it together,
Get it together (get it together)
I don't really wanna go,
I don't really wanna stay (I don't really wanna stay)
But I really hope and pray,
Can we get it together,
Get it together

You don't know the pain that I feel,
You've taken my love for granted,
And you just wanna see it your way
It's about that time,
I'm gonna tell ya what's on my mind (what's on my mind)
I'm fed up with you not being here with me,
When you know love is all I need,
I don't want to stay

I don't really wanna stay,
I don't really wanna go,
But I really need to know,
Can we get it together (can we get it, yeah)
Get it together (and I don't wanna)
I don't really wanna go,
I don't really wanna stay (don't want to stay)
But I really hope and pray,
Can we get it together,
Get it together (let's get it together, babe)

I can't let go,
'Cause being confused just takes control
I hope we can start brand new,
'Cause I don't want to lose you (oh no!)
With the love we shared,
Baby it's oh so rare,
I'm willing to try and make you see,
That all you need is here in me,

I don't wanna stay (I don't wanna stay)
I don't wanna go (I don't wanna go)
But you gotta let me know,
How you feel (let me know how you feel)
How you feel

I don't wanna stay (don't wanna go)
I don't wanna go (I don't wanna go)
But you gotta let me know (you gotta let me know)
How you feel (just how you feel)
I don't wanna stay, no no

I don't really wanna stay,
I don't really wanna go (and I don't want to go)
But I really need to know,
Can we get it together,
Get it together (come on babe, let's get it together)
I don't really wanna go,
I don't really wanna stay,
But I really hope and pray,
Can we get it together (come on boy)
Get it together (yeah)

See I'm so confused,
I just don't know what to do,
And I don't understand, no
You know I don't wanna stay,
You know I don't wanna go,
Baby, please listen to me (I don't wanna)

I don't really wanna stay,
I don't really wanna go (I don't wanna go )
But I really need to know,
Can we get it together (can we?)
Get it together (I hope, I pray, baby, baby)

Lmao! Damn...you took it back! "No Interruptions" is another classic!

And they do sound the similar. Especially intro, beat wise. I heard the similarities.

You have to realize we live in an era where you cant have a difference in opinion anymore. If you dont agree with the masses, you're simply a "hater."

It's whack.
