Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I recognize there is a sudden change
I notice you haven't been calling me
I'm starting to see, that things are not the same
Lately I have been reaching out to you
Boy you haven't been returning my calls
And even when I say, I love you
I notice there has been a slight pause
[Chorus:]
Please tell me what do you think it could be.
Headache, tired, or cheating on me?
I'm tired of all this up and down mystery
Please answer questions from one, two, three.
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Ooooohh ladies help me out.
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Said I'm tired of all these ups and downs
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Fellas tell me what you're thinking
Do you love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Here's the reason why I ask these things....
I was giving him the best of me
But my best stopped being good enough
I'm telling you I will do anything
Talk about a woman who loves tough
And now he's coming home real, real late
I let him know it's starting to bother me
He never once even touched his plate
And no response he just went to sleep.
[Chorus:]
Please tell me what do you think it could be.
Headache, tired, or cheating on me?
I'm tired of all this up and down mystery
Please answer questions from one, two, three.
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Ooooohh ladies help me out.
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Said I'm tired of all these ups and downs
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Fellas tell me what you're thinking... Yeah
Do you love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?
Can you see why I ask these things....
Used to take me shopping... All the time
Used to go club hoppin'... All the time
Where you were I would be... All the time
Now all you do is leave me (Behind boy)
Used to be your best friend, (Remember)
We were close like cousins (Remember)
Used to give me lovin' (And now...)
All you're doing is trippin' (Ladies what do you think?...)
[Chorus:]
Please tell me what do you think it could be.
Headache, tired, or cheating on me?
Said I'm tired of all this up and down mystery
So please answer questions from one, two, three.
Do you love me? Lost Interest? (better no)Is he cheatin'?
Tell me fellas do he love....
Do you love me? Lost Interest? Is he cheatin'?
Cheatin' on me (i gotta know)
Do you love me? (i gotta know) Lost Interest? (i gotta know) Is he cheatin'? [laidies you got to ask yourself sometime]
Do you love me? [does he love you?] Lost interest? [lost interest?] Is he cheatin'?
(is he cheatin'?)
In "Questions," Tamia sings about a relationship that has changed, expressing confusion and concern about her partner's lack of communication and actions. She notices that he's been absent and distant, not returning her calls or showing affection, and she wonders if he's cheating or losing interest in her. The chorus consists of a series of questions that she's asking her partner, seeking clarity and answers - "Do you love me? Lost interest? Is he cheatin'?" These questions reflect her frustration with the uncertainty and the instability of their relationship. The second verse reveals that she's been giving him her best, but it's not enough, and she's feeling neglected and unappreciated. Towards the end, she reminisces about the good times they used to have, going shopping and clubbing, spending time together, but now he's leaving her behind, and she's unsure of his feelings and loyalty.
