Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you trippin'
What's up? What you got? A gun?
Oh

I been shot
She the one that scoped me out
Time to stop
It was all part of the plot
Now the sky is fallin' when I call your name (ooh)
I gotta have you, let me get it

She so bad, it's irrational
No good for me but I have to know
Get what she want then she out the door, lost all control
She's been in my bed and now I'll never be the same (woo)

It's toxic when she's tastin' me
She got poison on my tongue
When her time is up, can't get enough
That girl just not a keeper
But I keep on tryna keep her
And she's way too hard to hold
Can't crack the code
But she keeps me wantin' more
She bad to the bone
And when her time is up, I can't get enough
That girl just not a keeper
But I keep on tryna keep her (ooh)

I wanna love you, babe
(I wanna love you, girl, I wanna love you, girl, I wanna love you)
I know it's forbidden, baby, oh Lord
I took a bite and now the walls are cavin' in (yeah)
Ooh, nah

You so bad, it's irrational
No good for me but I have to know
Get what she want then she out the door
But I love fuckin' you
She's been in my bed but now I'll never be the same, woo (woo)

It's toxic when she's tastin' me
She got poison on my tongue
When her time is up
Can't get enough
That girl just not a keeper
But I keep on tryna keep her
And she's way too hard to hold
Can't crack the code
But she keeps me wantin' more
She bad to the bone
And when her time is up
I can't get enough
That girl just not a keeper
But I keep on tryna keep her

Your love is catastrophe
I get the feelin' that you after me
It's like your soul is attached to me
I hate it but I love it when that ass on me (ooh)
Your love is catastrophe (ooh)
I get the feelin' that you after me
It's like your soul is attached to me (you know what you doin')
I hate it but I love it when that ass on me, yeah (you know what you doin')

It's toxic when she's tastin' me
She got poison on her tongue (ooh)
When her time is up
Can't get enough
That girl just not a keeper (she ain't, she ain't)
But I keep on tryna keep her (oh, no, baby)
And she's way too hard to hold (whoa, no, baby)
Can't crack the code (she ain't)
But she keeps me wantin' more (wantin' more)
She bad to the bone (whoa)
And when her time is up (ooh)
I can't get enough (ooh)
That girl just not a keeper (no, no, she's not)
But I keep on tryna keep her (oh)

And when her time is up
Can't get enough
That girl just not a keeper
But I keep on tryna keep her




That girl just not a keeper
But I keep on tryna keep her

Baby, you trippin'
My dear, you are acting strange


What's up? What you got? A gun?
What is wrong? Do you possess a weapon?


Oh
Expressing surprise or realization


I been shot
I have been wounded emotionally


She the one that scoped me out
She is the one who observed and targeted me


Time to stop
It is time to put an end to this


It was all part of the plot
It was all a calculated scheme


Now the sky is fallin' when I call your name (ooh)
Now everything feels chaotic when I mention your name


I gotta have you, let me get it
I desperately desire you, allow me to have you


She so bad, it's irrational
She is so attractive, it defies reason


No good for me but I have to know
She is not beneficial for me, but I cannot resist finding out


Get what she want then she out the door, lost all control
Once she obtains what she desires, she immediately leaves, causing me to lose all control


She's been in my bed and now I'll never be the same (woo)
She has spent intimate time with me and now I am forever changed


It's toxic when she's tastin' me
It is harmful when she indulges in me


She got poison on my tongue
She brings poison to my life


When her time is up, can't get enough
When her presence is supposed to end, I still crave more of her


That girl just not a keeper
She is not someone worth keeping in a long-term relationship


But I keep on tryna keep her
Yet, I continue to try and hold onto her


And she's way too hard to hold
She is extremely difficult to keep


Can't crack the code
I cannot decipher her true nature


But she keeps me wantin' more
However, she continually makes me desire her


She bad to the bone
She is inherently attractive and alluring


Your love is catastrophe
Your love is a disaster


I get the feelin' that you after me
I have the suspicion that you are pursuing me


It's like your soul is attached to me
It feels as though your soul is connected to mine


I hate it but I love it when that ass on me (ooh)
I dislike it, but I cannot resist enjoying when you seduce me


I wanna love you, babe
I desire to love you, my dear


I know it's forbidden, baby, oh Lord
I am aware that our love is prohibited, but it is difficult to resist, dear

I took a risk and now the consequences are closing in on me

You are so attractive, it defies reason


But I love fuckin' you
But I enjoy having sexual relations with you


Your love is catastrophe (ooh)
Your love is a disaster


I get the feelin' that you after me
I have the suspicion that you are pursuing me

But I keep on tryna keep her
Yet, I continue to try and hold onto her


That girl just not a keeper
She is not someone worth keeping in a long-term relationship


But I keep on tryna keep her
Yet, I continue to try and hold onto her
