Conor Maynard (Cover) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girls in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I've been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I've been drinking so much
That I'm a call her anyway and say
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that new guy that you think you found
And since you picked up I know he's not around
Oh no, I'm just saying you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me cups of the XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don't have the time to kick it no more
Flights in the morning
What you doing that's so important?
I've been drinking so much
So I'ma call you anyway and say
Fuck that new guy that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that new guy that you think you found
And since you picked up I know hes not around
Oh ooh I'm just saying you could do better
Oh ooh tell me have you heard that lately
Uh I'm just saying you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me
The lyrics of Conor Maynard’s cover of Marvin’s Room by Drake centers around a drunken dilemma of a man who can’t let go of his past relationship. He talks about how he’s been drinking excessively and instead of going home, he wants to call his old flame. He acknowledges that she’s happy with someone else but wants to express his feelings anyway. He uses profanity to describe the new guy and claims that he’s the better option. He then goes on to say that he’s just asking her to consider that she could do better than her current lover. He also expresses how he’s been seeing all of her friends at the club but she wasn’t there. He ends the song by requesting for cups of “XO” and saying that he’ll start hating, only if she makes him.
The song can be seen as a representation of a toxic relationship where one party is burning bridges and trying to win back their ex-lover, despite being in a better place in their life. The lyrics suggest that the singer has not fully moved on from the past relationship and still holds on to hope that they could get back together if the opportunity presented itself. The theme of the song is relatable to many people who have gone through a heartbreak and find themselves bouncing back and forth between staying in the past and moving on.

Cups of the rosé
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home

I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that new guy that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he's not around, oh no

Mine, too! I can’t even express how much this cover means to me. I really feel it... everything... his singing, his “pain”, everything. It’s sooo good! That’s the beauty of music. I’d probably die without it.
