Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching for the signs
Took a trip to clear my mind, oh
Now I'm even more lost
And you're still so fine, oh my, oh my
Been having conversations about breakups and separations
I'm not feeling like myself since the baby
Are we gonna even make it? Oh
'Cause if we are, we're taking this a little too far
If we are, we're taking this a little too far
Baby, if we are, we're taking this a little too far
With me being wherever I'm at
Worried about wherever you are
We're taking this a little too far
We're taking this a little too far
We're taking this a little too far

(Know you wanna roll with a good girl)
(Do it big, do it all for a good girl)
(One time, this is a song for the good girl)
(Don't sleep when you know you got it good, girl)
(One time, this is a song for the good girl)
(Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl)
(One time, this is a song for the good girl)
(And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should)
(What's up?)

On my mind, up past my bedtime, no rest at the kingdom
Alone in my place, my heart is away
All that I can think of is
We should get married
We should get married
Let's stop holding back on this and let's get carried away

Stop making a big deal out of the little things
'Cause I got big deals and I got little things
Got everything I'm asking for, but you
Stop making a big deal out of the little things, let's get carried away
Come right now, you know where I stay

I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
All I'm really asking for is you
You're mine, you're mine (yeah)
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
Long as you know who you belong to

(Know you wanna roll with a good girl)
(Do it big, do it all for a good girl)
(One time, this is a song for the good girl)
(Don't sleep when you know you got it good, girl)
(One time, this is a song for the good girl)
(Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl)
(One time, this is a song for the good girl)
(And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should)
(What's up?)

From eight until late, I think 'bout you
You own my nights, I don't know what to do (do)
I can't get no rest, can't get no sleep (yeah)
This whole thing got way too deep and we should

Stop making a big deal out of the little things
'Cause I got big deals and I got little things
I got everything I'm asking for, but you
Stop making a big deal out of the little things, let's get carried away
Come right now, you know where I stay

I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
All I'm really asking for is you (yeah)
You're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
Long as you know who you belong to

(All I'm really asking for is you, yeah)
(Long as you know who you belong to)

Yeah
Yeah, yeah

(Pull up on you) I gotta pull up on you
You gon' make me have to pull up on you
Don't go ghost on me, I'ma go thriller on you, I'ma just (pull up on you)
I'ma let my hands do the talking when I see you, baby girl
I miss feeling on you (pull up on you)
I miss everything that's real about you
And that's everything about you, that's just how I feel about you (pull up on you)
Been about you and I'm still about you, but
We ain't finished talking (pull up on you)
I told you, you don't need to worry about them bitches
All them fives need to listen when a ten is talking (pull up on you)
'Cause they don't wanna see you happier than them
And girl you swear they all your friends, and that's been a problem (pull up on you)
You the one they hate, just come with that (yeah)
I know you think it's funny that your ex is not a running back
But that nigga came running back (pull up on you)
And you tell me you done with that
And I believe it's true
Long as you know who you belong to
Uh
Oh, oh





All I'm really asking for is you
Yeah
