Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, she never stays to watch the night turn to day
But I'm like use me baby, anyway you want
I wish you were mine in the broad daylight
But you just use me baby, anyway you want
I wish you were mine but
She only loves me when the sun is down, sun is down
She only loves me when no one's around, one's around
She only loves me 'cause I put it down
And it's fine by me
And it's fine by me
She's like the wind, she comes and goes and again
All of my friends think I'm a fool, silly them
But I'm like use me baby, anyway you want
I wish you were mine in the broad daylight
But you just use me baby, anyway you want
I wish you were mine but
She only loves me when the lights are off, lights are off
She only loves me when the sun is down, sun is down
She only loves me when no one's around, one's around
She only loves me 'cause I put it down
And it's fine by me
And it's fine by me
She knows I can take her there, afterwards she just don't care
She knows I can take her there, afterwards she just don't care
She only loves me when the lights are off, lights are off
She only loves me when the sun is down, sun is down
She only loves me when no one's around, one's around
She only loves me cause I put it down
You a freak, and it's fine by me
You a freak, and it's fine by me
And it's fine by me
And it's fine by me
And it's fine by me
In Chris Brown's song "Fine By Me," he sings about a woman who only loves him when the lights are off, the sun is down, and no one is around. She doesn't call before midnight or stay to watch the night turn into day. However, he is willing to be used anyway she wants because he wants her to be his in the broad daylight. Even though all of his friends think he is foolish for putting up with her, he does it anyway.
The lyrics paint a picture of a love affair that only happens in secret and under the cover of darkness. It seems that Chris Brown is aware that he is being used by this woman for her own pleasure but he is willing to overlook it because he wants her so badly. The repetition of the phrase "She only loves me" emphasizes the fact that the relationship is one-sided and that he is the only one who is in love.
The chorus of the song is catchy and easy to sing along to, which is perhaps one of the reasons why it has been popular among fans. The song has a mix of pop, R&B and electronic dance music elements, making it a hit on the dance floor. Despite the controversial history of the artist, the song has remained popular.

I thought I was the only one..I love Chris Brown's videos and knowing how his videos usually blow up, this should've already had 10 million within 1 day. That's why I when I seen the thumbnail and the views I was confused. The video is fire asf but his management though... His music videos in the last 5 months haven't been reaching its potential views.. that's not fair :/

It’s sad how everyone knows how extremely talented Chris is but he doesn’t get the numbers he deserves because people won’t get over his past

I think he gets the numbers, people just don’t publicly support him.
