Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave her my heart, she promised she would always keep
Little secret from the start, weve both had those
I couldnt keep myself from fuckin with them loose hoes
And everybody try to holler when I aint around
Surprised when they recognize your were so down
You had a cousin she was beautiful just like you
And it was always hard to separate you two
I used to catch he staring hard when we was kissin
Woke up one morning and I caught yall in the kitchen kissin
From that moment I knew erythang was gonn be different
Yall tryina act like yall wasnt doing nothing
I knew you motherfuckers wasnt cousins
She told me come get right here in the middle
You know I did but I shouldnt have done it
We was made for each other
We was lovers we was friends
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
We was made for each other
We was lovers we was friends
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
I tried to handle thangs like a player
But I found myself getting jealous
Your cous aint not really your cous
And my homie said he met some other girls you been fuckin
I come home early from my ...
To see you bitches runnin round in lingerie
Im havin money, havin women by the 3 and 4s
Now you hatin when I pay, more attention to them hoes
Diggin in your girlfriend from the back
It was you that put a nigga hurting now you wanna act
Like Im doing something wrong, you pissed off an youre mad
Cause you let me fuck your girl and Im enjoying the act
But in my heart I know the shit is wrong
But right now it feels so right
Why you actin funny, puttin out bindess in the streets
I thought that me and you was playing it for keeps
We was made for each other
We was lovers we was friends
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
We was made for each other
We was lovers we was friends
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
When we broke up you said I would meet no one like you again
Maine Im so ...she went to london to be with her dad
We broke up and that shit was all bad
Her cousin got killed and that shit was all sad
Now Im the only one that she can trust
We back together but it really doesnt feel the same
I came home one day and I said we need to break it off
We both know aint nothing good gonn come out of this
Deep in my heart I know I was fucking up though
Lookin at you pack your shit and walk about that front door
I still think about you sometimes
Sometimes its hard to take you off my mind
She got a husband and some kids now
I see her every once in a while
I know you think about me too
I know you think about me too.
The song Neva Luv Again by 8ball is a tale of a tumultuous relationship that ultimately ends in heartbreak. The song starts with the singer describing his love interest, who he gave his heart to and trusted, but who also had secrets of her own. The singer confesses that he couldn't resist the temptation of other women and even caught his love interest kissing her cousin in the kitchen. The singer acknowledges that they were wrong to continue seeing each other after that, but they couldn't help their strong attraction and ultimately ended up hurting each other.
Despite the initial attraction and love they shared, jealousy and animosity crept in as the relationship progressed. The singer became jealous of his love interest's supposed cousin, who turned out not to be related at all and was someone she was having an affair with. In turn, his love interest became angry when he started seeing other women and paying attention to them instead of her. Their relationship had become toxic, with accusations and fights becoming more and more frequent.
However, even after their relationship ended, the singer still thinks about his former love interest and acknowledges that she probably thinks of him too. Despite everything, he still feels a connection to her, but knows that it's best to move on and find someone who is truly meant for him.
