Let
Avant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I...
If I didn't have a dime
Tell me would you spend the time
All I hear is buy me things
Baby girl what's on your mind?
You say money isn't a thing to you
But all that shopping you do
I can't keep a dime in the safe
I'm not try-na pull your weight
Let's make a deal

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Tell me why the house ain't clean?
Why my son ain't in school?
Why the phone bill so high?
Girl you must think I'm a fool
All you do is run around all day
I come home you got something to say
Talking 'bout what a man don't do
That's why I wrote this song 'bout you

So baby tell me can you cook a meal?
I'm getting hungry
Can you wash a load?
Wash the clothes
Baby take this house
Turn it and make it home

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Fellas if you're in your jeeps
(One time)
Or if you're in your Bentleys
(Two times)
Won't you turn it up for me
(Three times)
Turn it up for me
Ladies hope you're feeling the song
Staying home all alone
It's time for me to set it straight
Sit back and let it marinate

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I...

All I hear is buy me things
Baby girl what's on your mind?
You say money isn't a thing to you
But all that shopping you do
I can't keep a dime in the safe
I'm not try-na pull your weight
Let's make a deal

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Tell me why the house ain't clean?
Why my son ain't in school?
Why the phone bill so high?
Girl you must think I'm a fool
All you do is run around all day
I come home you got something to say
Talking 'bout what a man don't do
That's why I wrote this song 'bout you

So baby tell me can you cook a meal?
I'm getting hungry
Can you wash a load?
Wash the clothes
Baby take this house
Turn it and make it home

Baby let's make a deal
If you do what I say
You can get what you want
We can have everything
As long as you learn how to give and take

Fellas if you're in your jeeps

Ladies hope you're feeling the song
Staying home all alone




It's time for me to set it straight
Sit back and let it marinate

Overall Meaning

The song "Let's Make a Deal" by Avant touches on the topic of an unreliable and unfaithful partner. The lyrics are divided into two parts: the first half discusses the issue of constant requests for material things from the partner, while the second half focuses on a partner who neglects their household responsibilities. Avant uses the chorus to offer a solution to these issues - a deal in which the partner agrees to comply with the singer's requests in exchange for getting what they want.


In the first verse, Avant expresses his frustration with his demanding partner. He questions whether she would continue to stay with him if he didn't have money to provide the lavish lifestyle she wants. The singer perceives her actions as a lack of appreciation for what he does provide. While the partner reassures him that money isn't everything to her, her incessant spending habits prove otherwise.


In the second verse, Avant confronts the partner who has neglected the household duties. He observes that despite running around all day, the house is in disarray, and their child is not in school. He accuses her of not doing her part in maintaining the household, and instead, finding faults in what he doesn't do. He ends the verse by asking if she can fulfill basic responsibilities like cooking and washing.


Through the song's lyrics, Avant highlights the importance of compromise and balance in a relationship. He asserts that both partners need to learn how to give and take to make the relationship work.
