Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Love hurts, hurts) Yo, yo
(Love hurts, hurts) I don't know how to understand you
(Love hurts, hurts, hurts) You won't give me a chance
(Love hurts, hurts) (C'mon)
(Love hurts, hurts) Yo, turn me up a little bit
(Love hurts, hurts, hurts) I gotta talk to her
(Love hurts, hurts, hurts) Yeah
You don't have to have those beautiful eyes
Or that, beautiful skin (So pretty)
You don't have to walk that way (Oooh)
Or be extraordinarily thin (You're the dopest, baby)
You don't have to be a supermodel (Wish you weren't)
To, be my girl (The whole world knows you)
Or would I be a over-indulgence
And just, make you hurl
(What's wrong with me) (Yo)
What's wrong with me, yeah, yeah, yeah (Why can't I be with you)
Why can't we be, yeah
(You don't know what you do to me, I can feel you all over)
Now look-a-here
Now when I first met you (Damn)
You, you never asked what I drove (You didn't ask about none of my cars)
You told me I was beautiful (Thank you baby)
Girl, and you ignored my clothes (Ignored my clothes)
Heaven only knows, knows, knows (Heaven only knows, the Lord knows)
That you're the faceless girl of my dreams (Yeah)
Hey, but what's so weird (Crazy, crazy)
I've seen you all along in magazines (You're all over the place, baby)
What's wrong with me
What's wrong with me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why can't we be, yeah, yeah (What's wrong with me)
What's wrong with me, yeah, yeah (C'mon, c'mon; c'mon baby)
How long will it, be, yeah (C'mon)
Every once in a while I'll hear from you
Which illuminates my day (So bright, baby, so bright)
What's so scary I'm not, I'm not in love with you baby
But I'm preventably on my way
If I could remove all the lights from the world
For an, experiment for me
(Let me show you something), you'd learn that
When in the dark, if you use your heart (C'mon, c'mon)
You'd, you'd most certainly see (Look here)
That I'm the one for you
What's wrong with me, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ohhhh) (What's wrong with me)
Why can't we be, yeah
I don't get it
You mean so much me
What's wrong, am I too demanding?
Listen
I just wanna feel you
I just wanna touch you
Please be mine (What's wrong, baby)
You'll be my breakfast every morning
I'll eat you (What's wrong with me)
You'll be my lunch, I'll eat you (Why can't we be)
You'll be my dinner, I'll eat you
(Oooh-oooh, Oooh-oooh, what's wrong with me)
What's wrong with me, baby (What's wrong with me)
I'll eat you on the rocks
I'll do it better than any of those (How long will it be)
I'll do it better than your ex-boyfriend
I'll do it better than that bitch you're sleeping with now
I'll eat you (Wooo, wooo, wooo, wooo)
What's wrong with me (Wooo, wooo, wooo, wooo)
Huh, what's wrong with me (Wooo, wooo, wooo, wooo)
Yeah, yeah (Wooo, wooo, wooo, wooo)
Hey baby
I'll eat you
I'll eat you
