It Ain't Over
CAROMAX & M.I.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I already know whats on your mind
I wanna stick around and make you
Understand I didn't commit crime
But you keep on thinking it's
In some other chick
Makes me feel I'm better off
Goin' on a trip
In some other bitch
That makes me wanna leave
And never call up 'til I'm rich
What you want come see me
I got bootleg love for free
I got Abdul in a taxi and
He'll drop you down for free
Natsumi and Tsunami
They make love like origami
They put a flower on the lover
Give it good licky lick what
Good licky lick, good licky lick
We know it ain't right but we do it anyway
I think I wanna get a little active
There's more to this than being your captive
New directions might need a little practice
I can make it a little less destructive
You putting guards up
Outside my shop
Get me with your swat what
And it don't it don't stop
You putting guards up
Outside my shop
Get me with your swat what
And it don't it don't stop
What you want come see me
I got bootleg love for free
I got Abdul in a taxi and
He'll drop you down for free
Natsumi and Tsunami
They make love like origami
They put a flower on the lover
Give it good licky lick what
Good licky lick, good licky lick
We know it ain't right but we do it anyway
What you want come see me
I got bootleg love for free
I got Abdul in a taxi and
He'll drop you down for free
Natsumi and Tsunami
They make love like origami
They put a flower on the lover
Give it good licky lick what
Good licky lick, good licky lick
We know it ain't right but we do it anyway
We do it anyway, but we do it anyway
We do it anyway, but we do it anyway
The lyrics to CAROMAX & M.I.K.E.'s song "It Ain't Over" seem to tell a story of a person who is trying to convince their partner that they are innocent of a perceived wrongdoing. The singer is trying to reassure their partner that their suspicions are unfounded, and that they want to make the relationship work. The repeated phrase "You keep on thinking it's in some other chick" implies that the partner is accusing the singer of cheating. The second verse takes a more surreal turn, with the singer offering up "bootleg love" and introducing characters like Abdul, Natsumi, and Tsunami who "make love like origami". The chorus repeats the idea that the singer and their partner are doing something they know is wrong, but they can't help themselves.
Despite the surreal imagery in the second verse, the song seems to be about the struggle to maintain a relationship in the face of suspicion, jealousy, and temptation. The lines "New directions might need a little practice / I can make it a little less destructive" suggest that the singer recognizes that their relationship needs work, and that they are willing to try to make things better. The repeated line "We know it ain't right but we do it anyway" speaks to the human inclination to make decisions that may not be in our best interests, and the difficult choices we sometimes have to make to maintain relationships.
Overall, the lyrics to "It Ain't Over" are open to interpretation, but seem to speak to the complexities of relationships and the difficult choices we sometimes have to make to keep them going.
