Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strange woman is strange cho can believe dis
How come you tell me that you love me then you run away
And if you love me why you listening to hearsay
'Cause in the night you pack you things and mek you getaway

And if you neva love me shoud a tell me right away
You neva hi me when me rapsa up de next day
Feel like a soccer when dem naah gi no air play
Like a piece a furniture you lef me pon de lay-a-way
You got me roun de block me wan fi know wha you a seh

Mi nah go deal wid it your way, wid all de Latin music a play
Di dinin' and di violin and le le mi nah go siddun and listen
'Cause I know you gonna have to make a 360 turn
All that standing on your own make sure no bridge nah burn
Either you like it or leave it

Might no know nuttin' much 'bout biology
Set speed when it come to trigonometry
Right yah now and dis between de whole a we
Yes me know enough fi know when gal a swing me
And me no really waan fi put you under pressure

Mi haf fi sure seh you runnin' days are over
An you come stan up long side me like soldier
And give up dat wid some better behavior
Mi naah go deal wid it your way

Wid all de Latin music a play di winin' and di dinin' an you le le
Mi nah go siddun and listen, if mi know you a go missin'
Make a 360 turn or stay on your own, make sure yuh bridge nah burn
Either you like it or leave it

How come you tell me that you love me then you run away
And if you love me why you listening to hearsay
'Cause in the night you pack you things and mek you getaway
And if you neva love me shoud a tell me right away
'Cause me vibes neva irie me de nex day
Feel like a sample dem naah gi no air play dam

Ribly bom skeng you come back again
Mi naah go deal wid it your way wid all de Latin music a play
Winin' and di dinin' an you play le mi nah go siddun and listen
If mi know you a go missin' make a 360 turn
Hold your debt on your own make sure yuh bridge nah burn
Either you like it or leave it

Mi naah go deal wid it your way wid all de Latin music a play
Winin' and di dinin an you le, le mi nah go siddun and listen




If mi know you a go missin' make a 360 turn
Hold your debt on your own

Overall Meaning

The song Strange by Beres Hammond is about a woman who is acting strangely towards him. The first verse talks about how she tells him she loves him and then runs away, packs her things, and leaves in the middle of the night. He questions why she would listen to false rumors when she said she loved him. Hammond also mentions that if she never loved him, she should have told him upfront instead of leading him on. He feels like he is suffocating with her not giving him any air to breathe and feels like a piece of furniture that she put on layaway. He wants to know what she is saying behind his back, but he does not want to deal with it her way.


In the second verse, he talks about how he is not good at biology or trigonometry, but he knows when a woman is using him. He does not want to put her under any pressure but wants her to stop running away from him and, instead, stand by his side. He wants her to behave better and not leave him hanging, but he will not deal with it her way. He wants her to like it or leave it, and he will not listen to her when she tries to explain herself.


Overall, the song's theme is about a woman who is acting strange, and Hammond does not want to deal with it anymore. He wants her to act better towards him and stop running away from him without any explanation.
