Villain
Cutts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It could be like the beginning
Or it could be the end
And I could be a villain
Or I could be a friend

See the writing on the wall
Painting pictures on the floor
I′ll be better than before oh
I'll be better than before

Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
Love you but I don't like loving you

Love you but I don't like loving you baby
Love you but I don′t like

Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain

It was good at the beginning
Even better at the end
We were never really lovers
We were never really friends

Ya look a little like the next thing on my list
Look a little like the next thing I won′t miss
Baby I don't really owe you
But I will tell you the truth

Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain

Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain

You knew it only made me want you more
So you left me on the kitchen floor
I was acting like an animal
Scratching at your bedroom door

Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
Love you but I don't like loving you

Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
Love you but I don't like

Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain

Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain

I know it only made you want it more
Had ya scratching at my bedroom door
I was acting like a criminal
I know it only made you want it more ah

Look a little like the next girl on my list
Look a little like the next girl I won′t miss
I already told you
I ain't got nothing to loose

Eh eh Im a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain

Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain

Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain
Eh eh I'm a villain
Eh eh I′m a villain





Eh eh I'm a villain

Line by Line Meaning

It could be like the beginning
The situation has potential for a positive start


Or it could be the end
Things could either turn out well or come to a disappointing conclusion


And I could be a villain
I am aware that I could be perceived as a wrongdoer


Or I could be a friend
I acknowledge the possibility of being a loyal companion


See the writing on the wall
I can anticipate the outcome of the situation


Painting pictures on the floor
I am creating a vision for the future


I'll be better than before oh
I am determined to improve upon my previous actions


Love you but I don′t like loving you baby
I have conflicting emotions towards you


Eh eh I'm a villain
I am aware that my actions may be perceived as immoral


It was good at the beginning
Things started off positively


Even better at the end
The outcome exceeded expectations


We were never really lovers
Our relationship was not based on love


We were never really friends
Our relationship was not based on friendship either


Ya look a little like the next thing on my list
You appear to fit the criteria of someone I may pursue next


Look a little like the next thing I won′t miss
You also appear to fit the criteria of someone I may not regret losing


Baby I don't really owe you
I am not obligated to you


But I will tell you the truth
I am willing to be honest with you


You knew it only made me want you more
You were aware that your actions would increase my desire for you


So you left me on the kitchen floor
You purposely caused me emotional distress


I was acting like an animal
My behavior was irrational and uncontrolled


Scratching at your bedroom door
I was desperate to be close to you


I know it only made you want it more
I am aware that my behavior increased your desire for me


Had ya scratching at my bedroom door
You too were desperate to be close to me


I was acting like a criminal
My behavior was reckless and possibly illegal


Look a little like the next girl on my list
You resemble other girls I may be interested in pursuing


I already told you
I have already been honest with you


I ain't got nothing to lose
I have nothing to gain or lose from pursuing you
