Uh
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y (What?)
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y (What?)
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y (What?)
Thirsty, ahhhh
Thirsty, ahhhh
Picture this
While you drive
On a late night
I'm a hear your in that desert
Tryin to survive
But it's hot out there
All alone (All alone)
By yourself (By yourself)
Wonderin' each moment when will it be over
Run out of breath
And you need my help
And you say that you're thirsty
[Chorus:]
Thirsty, so thirsty it's not my fault
You had a glass waitin' for you but you ain't come
That's how you feel
What you want
Then you shouldn't try to front
Keep it real
You told me that
Now you tryin' to get me back, ooooh
[Break:]
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y
You're so thirsty
You're so thirsty
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y
Ooooh
Come and get me
Come and get me
[Verse 2:]
Let it drip
Down your mouth
I'm a tease you, show you
What you been missin
Me, Get a night
I'll let you get another sip
Appreciate what you get
Cause for someone who act like he ain't want it
No, I ain't forget
Beggin me to give you this
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Ooo I got you dreamin wishin you was in the deep end
You're so thirsty, you're so thirsty
Here we could be fully submerged
Mmmm I think about it
I doubt it should make you live without it
And keep you dying of thirst
I'm just playin' with you
[Chorus]
[Break:]
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y
You're so thirsty
You're so thirsty
T-H-I-R-S-T-Y
Ooooh
Come and get me
Come and get me
The song "Thirsty" by Cassie is all about someone who is craving the attention and affection of their lover. The song is divided into two sections, with the first section describing the situation of someone who is stranded in a desert and very thirsty. However, this situation also serves as a metaphor for the person's desire for attention from their lover. The lyrics imply that the person is trying to survive in their relationship but is feeling neglected and unimportant.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "thirsty" multiple times, emphasizing the person's intense desire for attention and love. The lyrics also suggest that this desire is not the person's fault and that their lover had a chance to give them what they wanted but did not take it. The break of the song repeats the letters spelling the word thirsty, suggesting that the person is almost taunting their lover, telling them that they are so thirsty for attention.
In the second verse, the person is described as teasing their lover, showing them what they have been missing out on. They are also portrayed as being grateful for any attention they receive from their lover, even if it is not consistent. The lyrics imply that the person's lover is someone who acts like they do not want to give attention or affection, but then begs for it later. The bridge of the song suggests that the person is playing games with their lover, making them dream and wish for attention, but ultimately holding the power in the relationship.
Overall, the song "Thirsty" by Cassie is about someone who is feeling neglected and unimportant in their relationship and is desperately trying to get their lover's attention and affection.
