Chris Brown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh, woah-ooh, woah

You know I'm showin' out and
Different vibes and
You the one livin' righteous
But I'm still me, yeah

I know I said a lot
Then you wouldn't speak to me
You don't give a damn what's fair to me
Why don't you just be my therapy? (Oh-oh)
If the tide didn't rise and
And the gas didn't light
We'd just be alright then
I know it looks like I'm livin' life

But I'm stressing, desperate
Restless, fucked up again
Living life and risking to get it
But you know I'm messed up
Stressing, desperate
Restless, fucked up again
Living life and risking to get it
But you know I'm messed up

I was down, givin' up
Gave me love I didn't deserve
I wasn't worth it
You tried to show me what was right
I didn't wanna learn
This madness, tryna hide the savage
I can't lose another bad bitch, I'm not
But you know it's bad with a little liquor
You should never really mix that with feelings (oh, no)
You know it's bad givin' mixed signals
Puttin' on a good show, no theatre
I know that it appears I'm out here when I'm

Stressing, desperate
Restless, fucked up again
Living life and risking to get it
But you know I'm messed up
Stressing, desperate
Restless, fucked up again
Living life and risking to get it
But you know I'm messed up

I just pulled up in your city
Just pick up, you know it's me
Don't give up on me
And we don't care, do what we want when we want
Where we want, if we want
If we don't, it'd be hard on me (oh-oh)
And that's why I'm still here

Stressing, desperate
Restless, fucked up again
Living life and risking to get it
But you know I'm messed up
Stressing, desperate
Restless, fucked up again
Living life and risking to get it
But you know I'm messed up

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
You know I'm messed up
(Yeah, yeah)
Oh
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah)

Line by Line Meaning

You know I'm showin' out and
You know I'm behaving flamboyantly and

Different vibes and
I have a unique energy and

You the one livin' righteous
You are the one living morally upright

But I'm still me, yeah
But I am still myself, yes

I know I said a lot
I know I spoke a great deal

Then you wouldn't speak to me
Then you refused to communicate with me

You don't give a damn what's fair to me
You do not care at all about what is fair to me

Why don't you just be my therapy? (Oh-oh)
Why don't you just serve as my therapeutic treatment? (Oh-oh)

If the tide didn't rise and
If the ocean tide did not increase and

And the gas didn't light
And the gasoline did not ignite

We'd just be alright then
Then we would simply be fine

I know it looks like I'm livin' life
I am aware that it appears like I am enjoying life

But I'm stressing, desperate
But I am experiencing stress, desperation

Restless, fucked up again
Restless, messed up once more

Living life and risking to get it
Living life and taking risks to achieve success

But you know I'm messed up
But you know I am emotionally damaged

I was down, givin' up (up)
I was feeling depressed, on the verge of giving up

Gave me love I didn't deserve
Showed me affection that I did not merit

I wasn't worth it
I did not have enough value

You tried to show me what was right
You attempted to teach me what was correct

I didn't wanna learn
I did not want to acquire knowledge

This madness, tryna hide the savage
This insanity, attempting to conceal the wild nature

I can't lose another bad bitch, I'm not
I cannot bear losing another attractive woman, I am not

But you know it's bad with a little liquor
But you know things go wrong with a bit of alcohol

You should never really mix that with feelings (oh, no)
It is never a good idea to combine alcohol with emotions (oh, no)

You know it's bad givin' mixed signals
You are aware that it is detrimental to send conflicting messages

Puttin' on a good show, no theatre
Pretending to be in a good state, without any dramatics

I know that it appears I'm out here when I'm
I comprehend that it seems like I am active out there when I am

I just pulled up in your city
I have just arrived in your city

Just pick up, you know it's me
Just answer, you know it is me

Don't give up on me
Do not abandon hope for me

And we don't care, do what we want when we want
And we do not care, we do whatever we desire whenever we desire

Where we want, if we want
In any location we desire, if we desire it

If we don't, it'd be hard on me (oh-oh)
If we do not, it would be difficult for me (oh-oh)

And that's why I'm still here
And that is why I am still present

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

You know I'm messed up
You know I am emotionally damaged

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

Oh
Oh

(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)

Oh
Oh
