Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't say her name but we were two
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)
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 song "Attraction" by B.o.B, GoKid Ant, Lupe Fiasco, Cool Kids, Diggy, and T.I. tells the story of a past love that was built on attraction and physical chemistry, but ultimately ended. The lyrics describe how the singer didn't mean to hurt the other person, but acting on his attraction was his natural reaction.

The first verse describes the physical connection between the two people, but ends with the acknowledgement that the relationship didn't last. The chorus repeats the theme of attraction as being both desirable and potentially harmful, and likens life to a roller coaster.


The second verse is spoken from the perspective of the singer, who has been absent for a while. He acknowledges that there was more to their relationship than just sex, and remembers her cool demeanor.

The bridge discusses the complications and double standards of dating, and ends with the line "we still want a girl at home who can fix up a good ol' sandwich."


Overall, the song's message is about the complexities of attraction and relationships, and how they can feel like a wild ride. It acknowledges that acting on impulses can have consequences, but also celebrates the power of attraction to bring two people together.
