Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tryna figure out how could i let a girl go so perfect
fellas you know what I'm talking about
and I've been thinking about it what you said
screaming how you want me out
and i turn around and look at your pics
and all i think about
is the way we used to kiss
is the way we used to dance,
how we show romance
give me one more chance
was it all my fault
sorry for the pain i caused
with no love involved
do i cross your mind at all
with all the love i gave
don't make me feel this way
at anytime of the day
do i cross your mind at all
it's a shame that we can't
at least talk about our problems
my heart's broken
and my body is starving for your love
and i need you in my life girl for your touch
and all i think about is
is the way we used to kiss (i miss kissing baby)
is the way you held my hand
is the way we used to dance,
how we show romance
give me one more chance
was it all my fault
sorry for the pain i caused
with no love involved
do i cross your mind at all
with all the love i gave
don't make me feel this way
at anytime of the day
do i cross your mind at all
wait girl, you hear your conscience calling (calling)
wait girl, come back to me i need you here baby
stay girl, baby i want you to stay around for me girl
I'm sorry baby
was it all my fault
sorry for the pain i caused
with no love involved
do i cross your mind at all
with all the love i gave
don't make me feel this way
at anytime of the day
do i cross your mind at all
at all, at all, at all
do i cross your mind at all (yeah)
girl do i cross your mind at all
The lyrics of Chris Brown's song "Submarine" speak of regret and longing after a relationship has ended. The chorus repeats the question "Do I cross your mind at all?" as Brown reminisces about the way the couple used to show affection - kissing, holding hands, and dancing. He confesses that he is brokenhearted and physically yearning for the love he once had. He admits that he caused pain, but claims that there was no ill intention and that he gave his all to the relationship.
The lyrics highlight the importance of communication in relationships, urging both parties to talk about their problems instead of running away from them. Brown's apologies show his willingness to take ownership of any mistakes he may have made, and his plea for one more chance reveals his hope that things can be reconciled. The repeated phrase "wait girl" suggests that Brown believes there may still be a chance for the relationship.
