B.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what you want...
Tell me what you want Tell me what you need
Love is just a choice A choice that I don't need
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I give a fuck, don't you
Like I can barely take it, but your voice is always haunting what it was
But the love, Ya it's starting to fade Woah
I just seen yo' other man, he said you wifey
Crying in his fucking hands he said he like me and hope that I can understand
I said I might be
Tell me what you want Tell me what you need
Love is just a choice A choice that I don't need
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I give a fuck, don't you
Like I can barely take it, but your voice is always haunting what it was
Like I changed, like I once remembered your name
But the love, Ya it's starting to fade Woah

Love is just a choice A choice that I don't need

Say something, I'm giving up on you
Speak up, I am losing faith in you
Say something, I give a fuck, don't you
I care, do you not?
Like I can barely take it, but your voice is always haunting what it was
I struggle to deal with it, but your words remind me of the past
Like I changed, like I once remembered your name
I have evolved, yet I still recall who you are
But the love, Ya it's starting to fade Woah
But the love, it is slowly disappearing
I just seen yo' other man, he said you wifey
I recently saw the man you are with, claiming you as his wife
Crying in his fucking hands he said he like me and hope that I can understand
He was crying, declaring his feelings for me and hoping for my understanding
I said I might be
I responded ambiguously, indicating I may reciprocate

Chorus]
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
So say something, I'm giving up on you
[Verse 1]
And I will stumble and fall
It's all over my head
I know nothing at all
And I, I'm feeling so small
You're the one that I love
I'm saying goodbye
[Chorus]
So say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
[Verse 2]
And I will swallow my pride
I'm still learning to love
But I'm saying goodbye
[Bridge]
So say
I'm so sorry I couldn't get to you
So say
I'm so sorry that I couldn't get to you...

Mr. Banks.... my friend and I were in the very front row of your concert last evening. We have been waiting for months to see you!!!! Lord.....have....mercy.... you did not disappoint. In fact, we were speechless. The words were just ineffable. We're both older women who have been to hundreds of concerts and we're going to keep entertaining ourselves until the wheels fall off.
But let me say this.... We have NEVER see a performance like what we witnessed last night. For us, it's all about the "feel". You don't just sing, you "feel" your music so intensely, that it truly gave us pause. It was astounding to witness. We walked away from the stage, shell-shocked. The show was exceptional and everything we love about music, you put it all right there for us, ticking off every box. You are in a class all by yourself. What an honour and privilege it was to be there and watch such greatness. My utmost respect. Well, well, done, Mr. Banks.
Well, well done.
(slow, methodical) 👏.... 👏.... 👏.... 👏....
