B.o.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I grabbed her waist and we would move
And then one day we were thru
And by the way I must be true
Cause all I ever wanted was to act on my attraction
I never meant to hurt you that's just my natural reaction
Life's just like a roller coaster, just like a roller (roller)
Okay okay okay okay I kno I kno
You ain't seen me in a while and you tryin to figure out just where the hell did I go
Well I liked you I ain't just want sex
Well I ain't even goin flex
First time you walked by everybody scream hair squad on deck
But you still was cool I'm a get real with you
Between B.o.B. and Bobby Ray
Which one appeal to you
But I ain't too mad cause at the end of the night
You still let me drill you boo
But this the least I can do
So this right here's for you
Cause all I ever wanted was to act on my attraction
I never meant to hurt you that's just my natural reaction
Life's just like a roller coaster, just like a roller (roller)
Life's just like a roller coaster, just like a roller (roller)
C'mon don't act like that
Cussin me out like I'm a call you back
You the one at the bar in the back
Tryin to figure out where all the ballers at
And all that ass got you caught us fast
And you came back with us and we all got smashed
Funny how an autograph turned into all of that
Just call me the bedroom bandit
Cause after one night stands I vanish
And no I can't understand it
I don't think one man on this planet does
I'm just sayin that even though we lookin for panties
We still want a girl at home who can fix up a good ol' sandwhich
Cause all I ever wanted was to act on my attraction
I never meant to hurt you that's just my natural reaction
Life's just like a roller coaster, just like a roller (roller)
Life's just like a roller coaster, just like a roller (roller)
The lyrics of B.o.B's song "Attraction" tell the story of a past relationship that ended due to the singer's inability to control his own feelings and impulses. The first verse sets the scene of two people dancing together, with the singer's physical attraction to his partner being too strong to ignore. He admits he never meant to hurt her but his actions were simply his natural reaction to the strong emotions he felt. The chorus compares life to a roller coaster, with ups and downs that can be unpredictable and tumultuous. The second verse reflects on the singer's absence from the music scene and his desire to explain himself to someone he had a past relationship with. He asserts that he never intended for their relationship to be solely about sex and that he is still ultimately looking for someone to settle down with. The verse also contains some humorous lines about his "bedroom bandit" reputation and the importance of finding a partner who can make a good sandwich. Overall, the song is a reflection on the struggles of balancing physical attraction with emotional connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Can't say her name but we were two
I can't disclose who she is but we were together
I grabbed her waist and we would move
We would dance and get close, physically
And then one day we were thru
Our relationship ended abruptly
And by the way I must be true
By the way, I have to be honest about my feelings
Cause all I ever wanted was to act on my attraction
I always wanted to act on my physical attraction toward her
I never meant to hurt you that's just my natural reaction
I didn't intend to hurt her, it was just the result of my natural impulses
Life's just like a roller coaster, just like a roller (roller)
Life is unpredictable, full of ups and downs, just like a roller coaster ride
Okay okay okay okay I kno I kno
I know, I know
You ain't seen me in a while and you tryin to figure out just where the hell did I go
You haven't seen me in a while, and you're wondering where I've been
Well I liked you I ain't just want sex
I was attracted to you for more than just physical reasons
Well I ain't even goin flex
I'm not even going to brag
First time you walked by everybody scream hair squad on deck
The first time I saw you, everyone noticed your unique hairstyles
But you still was cool I'm a get real with you
But you were still cool, and I'm going to be honest with you
Between B.o.B. and Bobby Ray
Which persona do you prefer, B.o.B. or Bobby Ray?
Which one appeal to you
Which one do you like more?
But I ain't too mad cause at the end of the night
But I'm not too upset because at the end of the night,
You still let me drill you boo
You still had sex with me
But this the least I can do
But this is the least I can do for you
So this right here's for you
So this song is for you
C'mon don't act like that
Don't act like that
Cussin me out like I'm a call you back
Don't curse at me like I'm going to call you back
You the one at the bar in the back
You were the one at the bar in the back
Tryin to figure out where all the ballers at
Trying to find where all the rich guys are
And all that ass got you caught us fast
Your attractive features made us attracted to you quickly
And you came back with us and we all got smashed
And then you had sex with us, all of us
Funny how an autograph turned into all of that
It's funny how just giving an autograph led to all of this
Just call me the bedroom bandit
You can call me the guy who takes girls to bed
Cause after one night stands I vanish
Because after one night stands, I disappear
And no I can't understand it
And no, I can't understand why I behave this way
I don't think one man on this planet does
I don't think there's a man on this planet who does understand it
I'm just sayin that even though we lookin for panties
I'm just saying that even though we're looking for sex
We still want a girl at home who can fix up a good ol' sandwhich
We still want a girl who can make us a good sandwich at home
