Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a little too into you
That's for sure (ooh babe)
But your beauty, that is in me
Makes me forget about your faults
You do no wrong
They say everybody plays the fool sometimes
I'll be the best damn fool for you, no lie
And girl I lose it every time
There's something about you, baby
And I swear that it drives me crazy
I'm stuck on you baby, stuck on you baby
And I might need help, 'cause I can't think of nothing else
You got me stuck on stupid, stuck on stupid for you
Look what you do to me
It's confusing, how you do it
It's like you take my heart and glue it to your soul, yeah baby
And I'll do anything for you, oh you know that much it's true
Girl I'm so in love, I'm stupid
They say everybody plays the fool sometimes
And if I got to, I don't mind
I'll be the best damn fool for you, no lie
And girl I'm losing every time
There's something about you, baby

And I might need help, cause I can't think of nothing else
You got me stuck on stupid, I'm stuck on stupid for you

The lyrics of Chris Brown's "Stuck on Stupid" describe the singer's obsession with a woman. He acknowledges that he may appear crazy or foolish for his unyielding attraction, but he cannot help himself. She captivates him with her beauty and he is blinded to her flaws, willing to be a complete fool for her. Brown sings about how she takes his heart and glues it to her soul. He would do anything for her, including risking his life. Despite acknowledging this irrational behavior, he cannot break free from her hold and remains stuck on her.
The first verse introduces the theme of the song, which is the singer's fixation on the woman he is addressing. The lyrics reveal that he is aware of his irrational behavior, but he cannot help himself. The second verse explores how he feels about her ability to control him, and he admits that he is "stupid" for being so in love with her. The chorus repeats how he is "stuck" on her, and he cannot get her out of his mind. He feels like he needs help and cannot stop his obsession with this woman. The final verse shows how far he is willing to go to prove his love and shows just how deeply he is stuck on her.
Overall, the song is about an intense, almost dangerous infatuation that the singer is experiencing. The lyrics convey the extent to which this obsession is affecting him and how powerless he is in the face of it. The song's central theme is a recurring one in love songs throughout history, but Brown offers his own unique take on it with this electric jam.
