12 just fine
BROWN Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We did everything we could do
To try to make it work (we did, we did)
Baby, you look soo confused,
Cause it feels like, there was no way we could lose (no way, no way)
Baby, I just don't reply
Cause I can't find the things you need in me (I can't, I can't girl)
Their trying to break us away from one another,
But maybe their right for a change
I think God will give you
Someone, much better
Than me, trust me your life will be o.k. it will be alright.
You'll be just fine (just fine, just fine)
I know that baby we would disagree constantly
On the basic things (we did, we did)
You thought that there was someone else, all along (no way, no way)
Baby I want to decide to stay right by your side
Baby, they know just what to say.
They wanna keep us away from one another
But Maybe they're right for a change
I think, God will give you
Someone, much better
Than me, trust me your eyes will be
O.k. (o.k.), alright (alright) just fine (just fine)
I know, baby baby can't you see that another fella
Just may be the kinda man you need
Baby you deserve it and I know that
I know another love has come your way, just listen to me when I say
You earned it (you earned it)
I think, God will give you
Someone, much better
Than me, trust me your eyes will be
O.k., it will alright, it will be just fine (just fine)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
The song "12 Just Fine" by Chris Brown talks about a couple that has been trying to make their relationship work but eventually realize that they're not meant to be together. The singer in the song acknowledges that they've done everything they could to try to fix their relationship but it still didn't work out. The song also mentions that people around them, who likely know about the difficulties within the relationship, are trying to break them apart.
In the chorus, the singer admits that maybe it's time to let go and trust that God will bring the right person for the other partner. The words "I think God will give you someone much better than me" implies that they believe the other partner deserves someone who can treat them better and make them happier. The song encourages the other partner to move on and find someone who is better suited for her.
Overall, the song's message is about selflessness and putting the other person's happiness before one's own. It's a mature message about letting go of a relationship that doesn't work out and hoping that both parties can find happiness.
