Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't want to do this
But I've been thinking about how we used to be, yeah
Looking backward now is on the verge of stupid
I don't know what I was thinking but I know you put a hold on me
You stole my heart and you broke in
Started the flame I'm burning
Every single time you pull me in you push me out again
Just like that
You're go and do me
Just like that
If I had meant anything, you'd had never done me just like that, yes
I'mma do you just like that
Yes I can breath
Just like that
So when you see me
I think you better run away fast
'Cause I'mma do you just like that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'mma do you just like, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
'Cause I'mma do you just like
You say you need to talk
Because you really miss me, oh oh
I think I'm strong enough
But who am I'm kidding?
You own my heart and you know it
Fuelin' the flame I'm burning
You break me down and I give in
Every single time you pull me in you push me out again
Just like that
You go and do me
Just like that
If I had meant anything, you'd had never done me just like that, yes
So I'mma do you just like that
Yes I can breath
Just like that
So when you see me
I think you better run away fast
'Cause I'mma do you just like that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'mma do you just like that, yeah yeah
I'mma do you just like that
Yeah yeah
I'mma do you just like that
Yeah yeah
'Cause I'mma do you just like that
I'm feeling much smarter
Reset
I'm never gonna fall all over again
I'm through with this
Every single time you pull me in you push me out again
'Cause every single time you pull me in you push me out again
Just like that
Just like that
If I had meant anything, you'd had never done me just like that, yes
So I'mma do you just like that
'Cause I can do it just like that
So when you see me, I think you better run away fast
'Cause I'mma do you just like that
I'mma do you just like
I'mma do you just like
I'mma do you just like that

The song “Just Like That” by Colbie Caillat is a song about a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer is reflecting on their past relationship and realizes that they were foolish to have allowed their partner to hurt them repeatedly. The partner would continuously pull the singer into their arms with sweet words and promises only to push them away again. The singer is tired of this and decides to break the cycle of the relationship.
The singer sings about how the partner “stole their heart and broke in” and how they “broke them down and the singer gave in every single time,” emphasizing that the partner had power over the singer in the relationship. The singer also recalls how they broke up several times but their partner would always come back with sweet words and promises of change. However, the singer has finally had enough and decides to end it for good.
In the final verse, the singer has moved on and feels much smarter for leaving the relationship. The words, “I’m never gonna fall all over again, I’m through with this,” indicate a sense of empowerment and freedom from the toxic relationship. The song ends with the singer warning their ex-partner to run away fast when they see the singer because the singer will do them just like that.

4th studio album not including Christmas in the Sand. It's been 3 years and she's worked super hard and she was rejected by her record label the first time. She is a hard worker. :)
