You sure been messing with my mind
Eh eh eh eh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amy Diamond's "What's In It For Me" revolve around the theme of a girl seeking clarity in her romantic relationship. She starts by acknowledging the confusion that her partner's actions and intentions are causing her, and then demands to know what she stands to gain from the relationship. The singer is tired of being taken for granted and is frustrated by the fact that her partner only seems to show up when he needs something from her. She believes that she deserves to be treated better and that the relationship should be a two-way street. As such, she demands that her partner reveal his true intentions, and she insists that he tells her "what's in it for me" before they can continue with their relationship.

The song is all about a young girl who is aware of her worth and won't settle for less in her relationships. She is strong-willed and independent, and she knows exactly what she wants out of life. However, despite her confidence, she is still vulnerable when it comes to relationships, which is why she needs to know exactly what her partner is bringing to the table. The song's message is that love should be reciprocal, and that both partners should benefit from the relationship.

It's so confusing
The situation is perplexing and unclear

You sure been messing with my mind
You've been playing with my thoughts and emotions

You cut me loose and
You ended the relationship and

Suddenly we're doing fine
Now that we are apart, everything is going well

I'm not a perfect little girl
I am not flawless

But I should get what I deserve
However, I should be given what is rightfully mine

And I refuse to be your mother
I won't be responsible for you

So tell me
Please explain why I should care about you

What's in it for me
What benefit do I get from being with you?

This ain't no one man show
I won't let you control me

To in my life
Being a temporary, inconsistent presence in my life
