Oh girl, why you gotta be like that? (Girl, like that)

In Chris Brown's song "Otha N***as," the lyrics convey a frustration and disappointment with a romantic partner's behavior. The singer wonders why the girl in question behaves the way she does, hanging up on him but then calling back. He questions why she compares him to previous partners when he is fully committed to her. The singer acknowledges her value and importance in his life, referring to her as the MVP and the one he would proudly introduce to his mother. Despite their differences, he is always there for her when she reaches out. He appreciates her confidence and smooth talk but also warns that if she continues with her manipulative behavior, she will end up vulnerable and marked with hickeys. Despite the singer's acknowledgement of his worth, he asserts that he deserves respect.
The chorus highlights the unique qualities of the girl that the singer finds attractive, emphasizing that they don't make them like her anymore. He recognizes her as being somewhat aloof and stubborn, but he states that it is not her fault. The singer attributes her behavior to the negative influence of other men in her life. He acknowledges her efforts and exhaustion in dealing with past relationships, assuring her that he is different and that she shouldn't dwell on the past. He wants to be there to help her bounce back and reach her potential, assuring her that she deserves happiness. The singer expresses possessiveness towards her and subtly hints at the potential of building a future together.
