Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
And you not even feeling me like that
So why you wanna get to know me
Cuz you ain't gonna love me like that
So why you wanna go and show me

(Aye, aye, aye)
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
(Bittersweet)
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
(It's bittersweet)
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
And you not even feeling me like that
(Nah)
So why you wanna get to know me
(Why you wanna get to know me)
Cuz you ain't gonna love me like that
(Nah)
So why you wanna go and show me
(Why you wanna show me)

Ain't see you smile in a while
It got me reminiscin
All the times that we had
And now you acting different
You can't look me in my eyes
Do you see the vision
I'm just out here with the guys
Getting to the mission
I'm just trynna find a way out
It get me stressing
All your demons seem to weigh me down
I'm losing blessings
I'm the topic of discussion
When you go and see your friends
And once you go and gettem started
We won't ever hear the end

The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
(Bittersweet)
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
(It's bittersweet)
The feeling that you giving me is bittersweet
And you not even feeling me like that
(Nah)
So why you wanna get to know me
(Why you wanna get to know me)
Cuz you ain't gonna love me like that
(Nah)

So why you wanna go and show me
(Why you wanna show me)
