Dakota
Aminé Lyrics

Baby girl, I've had one too many
The singer has had too much to drink.

My cup ain't full, but it's got me empty
The singer's cup isn't full, but they feel empty inside.

Only drink to mingle 'cause I'm single
The singer only drinks to meet new people because they are single.

Waiter, can you break this twenty?
The artist wants the waiter to break a twenty-dollar bill for them.

I'm not about the flashiness, I'm only about you and this Drink that's in my hand, it's got this playing And it's got me wasted, got me faded
The artist is not interested in showing off and is only focused on the person they are with. They are drunk and the music from the drink they are holding has affected them.

I wanna make you feel young (Feel young) I wanna make you feel something (Feel something) I wanna make you feel young (Feel young) I wanna make you feel something (Feel something) You know I wanna make you feel, I wanna make you feel I wanna make you feel, I wanna make you feel I wanna make, I wanna make I wanna make, I wanna make you feel
The singer wants to make their companion feel young and experience a range of emotions. They reiterate their desire to make their companion feel good.

It's funny how I always find myself in Dakota Knocking on my conscious every morning like Jehovah I'm afraid of heights but my feelings roller coaster So I'mma chug, chug
The singer keeps finding themselves in Dakota and their conscience is always bothering them. They are scared of their emotions, but they are still going to drink more alcohol.

I'd like to pay the tab if you let me make a statement But then she tell me "No" the same way they did David Cabernet for my fitness sake My confidence are raising but I wish it was a great
The artist wants to pay the bill and tell their companion something, but their companion refuses. They are drinking Cabernet for its health benefits, but they wish they were drinking something more significant. They are gaining confidence, but they wish it was something stronger.

Holes in my soul 'cause I feel like Zero Patch me up quick with a stitch like Lilo Red wine like my red coupe, white girls want the proof Jay Rock to a Kate Moss, get out Fingers on the edge of my glass, making it last Thinking about a girl from Portland, I'm in my past Got groupies fanning out like Dakota But I rather get shy on my sofa
The artist feels empty inside like they are worthless. They want someone to mend their emotional wounds quickly. They are drinking red wine and enjoying the attention of white girls. They reference a musician and a model. They are thinking about an old flame and have groupies wanting their attention. They would rather be alone.

Baby girl, I've had one too many My cup ain't full, but it's got me empty Only drink to mingle 'cause I'm single Waiter, can you break this 20? I'm not about the flashiness, I'm only about you and this Drink that's in my hand, it's got this playing And it's got me wasted, got me faded
The artist repeats the chorus, emphasizing their drunken state and desire to make a connection with their companion.

Compassion ain't a man's best friend But it's somewhere next to his pride Illuminate the bullshit and give him some time
The singer notes that compassion isn't something men typically value, but it is important nonetheless. They suggest getting rid of the negativity and waiting for things to become clear.

Gazing at the bottom of my glass Searching for an answer to mistakes from my past I ain't been to Saturn, and I ain't been to Mars I haven't met Elon, but I have met a star
The artist is looking at the bottom of their glass and reflecting on past mistakes. They haven't gone to space or met a famous person, but they have met someone special.

It's hard to relish how I really feel about you Like my niggas, my feelings is really really out'chere I cry with my hands up high Just so I can get by when I truly feel alone I see the fire, in your eyes I wonder if this is real or if I'm underwater Dark night, light hearts, cold face It makes you want to see what we could have become But everything's meant to be
The singer finds it difficult to express their feelings for their companion. They cry and feel alone despite being with other people. They see a spark in their companion's eyes and question whether their connection is real. They mention contrast - dark night and light hearts - and wonder what their relationship could have been, but they accept that everything happens for a reason.
