Candace & Vanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you think that I'm naive.
But when I get the goods on you
She'll finally believe
Well she says its all just drama
But every bubble's got to POP!
She's gonna see just what you're doing
Don't think you're gonna win this time
Cuz you better believe I'm gonna drop a dime on you
I'll get 'cha
I'll get 'cha
And. When I do, you're gonna be BUSTED
Busted!
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me when I tell you that I've finally got the dirt on you
You're busted.
BUSTED!
Yeah, she's finally gonna see your lies
This is how it's gonna be
When she finds out that I was always right
You're busted!
There's a new cop on the beat
And I'm bringing down the heat
My eyes are wise to all your lies
Cuz you're not that discreet.
And I don't care what you've heard
Cuz there's one six-letter word
It's gonna set me free (set me free)
Starts with a "b" (with a "b")
It goes B-U-S-T-E-D you are
BUSTED
I wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe me when I tell you that I finally got the dirt on you
You're busted.
Yeah she's finally gonna see your lies.
This is how it's gonna be when she finds out that I was always right
You're busted

The singer promises that they will reveal the truth to another person, who has been in denial about their partner's actions. This person is referred to as "she" in the song. The singer believes that this revelation will be a big deal since "every bubble's got to POP!". The partner is warned that their actions will come out and that they will have to "STOP".
The chorus then takes on a triumphant tone, with the singer declaring that they will "get" their partner and that they will be "BUSTED".

The second verse talks about how the singer wants to avoid hurting their partner but also wants to reveal the "dirt" they have uncovered. They are happy to finally be able to confront the lies and call out their partner for their actions. The chorus is then repeated, with the singer stating that their partner is "BUSTED" and that they will finally be exposed.
