Get Involved
Craig David feat. JP Cooper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna be a part of this same struggle no longer
Baby comes knocking on my door, I hide behind the sofa
I remember ten years younger I didn't have a problem
I wish I could get her again
I wish that we could've stayed friends

Why do you wanna stay friends?
I really don't mean no offense, oh no
She'd leave you with you other chance if you did pick her up in your pants, oh no
Would she hold you down, I think no, sir
A gold digger, I already told ya
Different kinds, they're just part of a culture
So why you keep getting involved her?

Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved with those games
Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved

Why'd you get involved?
Getting involved
Why'd you get involved?
Getting involved

Lately it seems wherever I go, the trouble will follow
Now every night I'm locking my doors and closing my windows
I remember ten years younger there's no problems
I wish I could get her again (yeah)
I wish that we could've stayed friends

I ain't like your other friends, I ain't sittin' on a fence (oh no)
Too blind to see what she doing
But I can see through her pretence, oh no
So brother come home, don't be foolish
I'm your boy, I not gonna let you do this
I know you understand what the truth is
Just brush this chick off, let her hand in a notice

Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved with those games
Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved

Why'd you get involved?
Getting involved
Why'd you get involved?
Getting involved

Maybe he was right, maybe I was wrong
Maybe I've been far too close to see what's going on
That don't change the situation
You don't need no education
Sittin' there procrastinatin'
I be off, I'll see you later

Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved with those games
Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved
Why I gotta get involved?
Keep getting involved
Getting involved with those games
Why I gotta get involved?
