If ya know he love ya
Tell the DJ play this song right here
If ya know he love ya
Let, let, let, let me see you two-step
If ya know he love ya
It don't matter if you by yourself
If ya know he love ya
If that boy don't love you by now
He will never ever, never ever love you
He will never ever, never ever love you
If that boy don't love you by now
He will never ever, never ever love you
He will never ever, never ever love you (oh-ooh)
I know you think that I just be trippin' on ya
Boy you see, this ain't how I normally be
But I can't help this jealousy
Ooh it's taking over me, ooh I'm fallin' way to deep
Without you by my side I feel like I can't eat or sleep
But I, gotta come down to earth, I don't wanna
But I, gotta let you go, but baby I don't wanna
And I, I gotta see, that you and me, ain't meant to be
That's why I tell myself
If that boy don't love you by now
He will never ever, never ever love you
He will never ever, never ever love you
If that boy don't love you by now
He will never ever, never ever love you
He will never ever, never ever love you (he will)
Baby, I can't help but fantasize
Wonderin' what it might be like
You and I sound so right
But I'ma let it go tonight
Ain't nothin' coverin' my eyes
Ain't gotta see it more than twice
I get it, I got it
Baby, baby
But I, gotta come down to earth, I don't wanna
But I, gotta let you go, but baby I don't wanna
And I, I gotta see, that you and me, ain't meant to be
That's why I tell myself
If that boy don't love you by now
He will never ever, never ever love you
He will never ever, never ever love you
If that boy don't love you by now
He will never ever, never ever love you
He will never ever, never ever love you (oh-ooh)
(Girl, you better listen)
(Let's go) alright, alright, alright, okay
I see ya point, I must admit
I grind, I grind, I grind all day
This paper's what I'm tryin' to get
Now normally when I'm paper chasin', I be having tunnel vision
And if it's really like that lady, just turn on ya television (ayy)
And there go Young (and there go Young)

808's & heartbreaks (heartbreaks)
State troopers & interstates (interstates)
Givin' me a bad vibe (ooh-ooh, help me see)

If that boy don't love you by now
The lyrics describe a girl who is deeply in love with a boy and is extremely jealous of other girls who are close to him. She asks the DJ to play a song that reflects her love for him and encourages everyone to dance. The singer eventually admits that she has to let go of the boy and move on with her life if he doesn't love her. The lyrics are repetitive, but it highlights the girl's desperation to be loved by the boy.
