Cher Lloyd f/Astro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I needed to upgrade
So I went and walked away way way
Now, I see you've been hanging out
With that other girl in town
Looking like a pair of clowns clowns clowns
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Boy you can say anything you want
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Please, this ain't even jealousy
She ain't got a thing on me
Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
You clearly didn't think this through
If what I've been told is true
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Boy you can say anything you want
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh
Ooh, and you might be with her
But I still had you first uh oh uh oh (Let's go! astro!)
We used to be, but now there's a separation between you and me
Baby I'm moving on to another girl that understands me more
Dated her in front your place so you can see it all
I remember the times, when we used to bond
But I never realized that you wanted to be mine
So I gave her the ring, instead of you, nickname too
I can tell you're upset, because it ain't you
Met a new girl, and I gave her my heart
Not noticing that you wanted me from the very start
You want me back?
We can just be friends, or try this thing all over again c'mon
Boy you can say anything you want
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back (Let me know)
Oh, I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Oh, I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Does it sound like a helicopter?

Hey, boy you never had much game
I have noticed that you are not good at dating
Thought I needed to upgrade
I believed I deserved someone better and moved on
So I went and walked away way way
I left you completely and didn't look back
Now, I see you've been hanging out
I have observed you spending time with someone else
With that other girl in town
You are with another woman who lives nearby
Looking like a pair of clowns clowns clowns
It seems like you and the other girl are making fools of yourselves
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
Do you recall all the first experiences we shared together?
And now you're doing them with her
Now you're doing those same things with the new girl
You got me, got me like this
You have left me feeling emotional and unsteady
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You are taking her to the same restaurants we went to together
And everywhere we went, come on!
You are even taking her to the same places we used to go as a couple
Boy you can say anything you want
You can say whatever you like
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I don't care if you're with someone else, I still want you
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
I ended our relationship expecting you to be upset
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
But now I realize I made a mistake and am regretful
Please, this ain't even jealousy
This is not me being jealous
She ain't got a thing on me
The new girl can't compare to me
Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
She's even trying to imitate my style and not succeeding
You clearly didn't think this through
You made a hasty decision and didn't consider the consequences
If what I've been told is true
If rumors I've heard are correct
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
You'll come back to me in a pitiful state
Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
I thought we would still be together
When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh
When we ended things with a kiss
Ooh, and you might be with her
But now you may be with another girl
But I still had you first uh oh uh oh (Let's go! astro!)
I was the first one to have a romantic relationship with you
We used to be, but now there's a separation between you and me
We used to have a connection, but now we're apart
Baby I'm moving on to another girl that understands me more
I have moved on to someone who I feel understands me better than you did
Dated her in front your place so you can see it all
We even went on a date in front of your house so you would know
I remember the times, when we used to bond
I remember a time when we had a special connection
But I never realized that you wanted to be mine
I didn't know at the time that you wanted a romantic relationship with me
So I gave her the ring, instead of you, nickname too
I even gave the new girl a ring and a special nickname
I can tell you're upset, because it ain't you
I can see that you're upset because it's not you
Met a new girl, and I gave her my heart
I have fallen in love with a new girl
Not noticing that you wanted me from the very start
I didn't realize that you had feelings for me all along
We can just be friends, or try this thing all over again c'mon
We can remain friends, or we can try to start a romantic relationship again
