Lookin' back on it all I
Wish you would've said somethin'
Before we got this far, I
And I wouldn't be caught up in
Another situation that really got me breakin'
And I don't know what I'm gonna do

I know, I know you see me
See me on Music TV, you're makin' money
Makin' money doin' your thing but I don't
I don't wanna up and leave
And try to be what who the media says

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby, I can't leave her, no

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know that everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby
I don't want something that's made

I know you think I'm lyin' every time that I say
I don't wanna see you cryin' all because of me, oh
The thought of me and you is ill
But with her, it's somethin' real
And I can't let that go, oh, no

I know you see me
See me on Music TV, you're makin' money
Makin' money doin' your thing
But I don't wanna up and leave
'Coz of somethin' that the media says

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby, I can't leave her, no

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know that everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby
I don't want something that's made

Made for TV, made for me
Might sound crazy but I, I love my baby
Made for TV, made for me
Might sound crazy but I, I love my baby
I don't want somethin' that's made

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby, I can't leave her, no

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know that everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby
I don't want something that's made

That's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby, I can't leave her, no

I don't want somethin' that's made for TV
Rather fall in love with a girl that's made for me
Know that everybody thinks that it might sound crazy
But I, I love my baby
I don't want something that's made

Made for TV

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Omarion's song "Made For TV" reflect his desire to fall in love with a girl who is real and not just a product of the media. He looks back and wishes that the girl he was with would have said something before they got too involved. He is constantly surrounded by the music industry and the pressure to conform to what the media says is desirable. However, he is not interested in something made for television; he wants something authentic and real. He emphasizes repeatedly that he loves his partner and is unwilling to leave her, despite what others may think.

The song speaks to the difficulties of maintaining a genuine relationship in a world that prioritizes superficial appearances, especially in the entertainment industry. The artist highlights how the media's portrayal of relationships can be misleading, and he values authenticity above all else.
