Cause I wanna know
He loves me not
He loves me lot
He's got to go
Not talking bout the dude
That's on the go go go
The situation that we got
You make me laugh
You make me cry
But I want you
Right by my side
And if you go I could die.
You bring me low, you bring me high.
I build you high. You break me down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
You pick me hard. I let you down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
My therapist told me that opposites attract. I wish that you was here with opposites attack.
You love me then you hate
What's it going to be
Don't wanna miss the magic
That is you and me
You make me glow
You make me shine.
We always fight right on time.
And if you go I could die
You bring me low, you bring be high
I bild you high. You break me down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
You pick me hard. I let you down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
Sometimes we don't see each other eye to eye baby.
We up and down like a rollcoster ride baby.
Sometimes you don't see the way I try baby.
I hate the way you make me wanna cry lady.
I wanna fly away. Sometimes I need a break.
The way you treat me made. Me wanna go and say. But I can go on. With out you in my arm.
I can't resist the way you used me with your charm.
You make me glow
You make me shine.
We always fight right on time.
And if you go I could die
You bring me low, you bring be high
I bild you high. You break me down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
You pick me hard. I let you down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
I bild you high. You break me down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
You pick me hard. I let you down.
And that's story of our situ a a a tion
The lyrics of The Situation by Black Eyed Peas are about a couple in a turbulent relationship where they have a love-hate situation going on. The singer is honest about the realities of their situation, sometimes they're happy, and sometimes they're fighting. The chorus talks about the dynamics of them building each other up and then breaking each other down. Despite all of this, the singer cannot imagine life without their partner next to them. The therapist may have told them that opposites attract, but it seems like there is a lot of tension between the two.
The second verse delves deeper into the ups and downs of their relationship, acknowledging that they don't see eye-to-eye, but they still need each other. There are moments where one partner feels like they need a break, but the other partner's charm keeps them from leaving. Once again, in the chorus, there is a mix of emotions, where the couple brings each other up and down. Overall, the song is about the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them.
