ÄÈËþɯNatasha Bedingfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you single people out there
This is for you
I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole
Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
Chorus:
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant
I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I want to be
I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I want to be
Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right
Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't want to fall in love 'cause I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cause you say I should
(Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood
Chorus
Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
Eh I like it this way
Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Liyah]
How you get to run around single but I'm still supposed to act like yo girlfriend?
And why I gotta sit through the hoe phase 'cause yeen ready to be a real boyfriend?
And how you get to text other bitches, but when I text other niggas I'm a hoe?
Saying that it's only us talking but you got me looking stupid on the low
Fall asleep on the phone with other bitches, Instagram leaving heart eyes under all the hoe pictures
So when I fall back he pick up and call back talm bout, "bae why you acting so different?
Why you stop texting me? Why you don't fuck with me? Why you don't believe nothing I say?"
Cuz you ain't legit, and you full of shit, and I am not tryna get played
[Verse 2: Omeretta]
We ain't going back and forth with these niggas
Maybe if you act right, you'll get some act right
Out here with this bitch, that bitch and that bitch, but saying that you love me lil homie that's a fat lie
Gon simmer down I ain't tryna hear that nonsense, trying me like ima worker ima boss, like to run shit
How you gon play the coach that's like washing soap?
Nigga really tried me like a blonde bitch
Really like a green hoe, you was on my team tho, looking for my heart shit missing like a Nemo
Kinda got a question for these niggas as a whole
How you gon compare a young boss to a zero?
We know that you never been with a winner, or had to commit to a person so solid
Moral of the story if you wanna kick it with me, Everything 100, everything 50/50 (Ah)
