Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you want ain't something i can receive
I thought you knew
The whole time
What you need ain't in my reality
But if it's true
I'll cross the line

Loves a game
you use to say
I play to much
So I stopped
playing games with you
( I ain't no playa baby, I don't wanna play no games)
All this time
you kept your mind on me
to see it through
but I never could choose
(Ahhh I could never choose, no I could never choose, no never)

My bad my bad
I'm such a dummy
Been wasting to much time with lil mami
Say I got too much pride but you don't know me
Enough to go and act so lame
You need slow up your game
And cool them jets down
Cuz we just met
You don't get treat the situation like we're all in
But I ain't mad at ya
You and your bad temper
looking for love
Hoping that it's not passing ya

Show me the proof
Gimme that gusto
Tell me the truth
yea
Oh my gosh
don't wanna waste no time with her
Gimme the juice
Gimme that gusto
Gimme the scoop
yea
No don't rush
Maybe we should take it slow

So if you don't want to wait here and see
What we do
With our lives
I may have to switch my reason for being
here with you
over time
What you want ain't something i can receive
I thought you knew
The whole time
What you need ain't in my reality
But if it's true
I'll cross the line

Show me the proof
Gimme that gusto
Tell me the truth
yea
Oh my gosh
don't wanna waste no time with her
Gimme the juice
Gimme that gusto
Gimme the scoop
yea
No don't rush
Maybe we should take it slow

Don't mean to waste your time
It's not that I don't like you baby
I want you in my life
but I still got some gusto in me

Don't mean to waste your time
It's not that I don't like you baby
I want you in my life
but I still got some gusto in me

Don't mean to waste your time
It's not that I don't like you baby
(It's not that I don't like you no more)
I want you in my life




but I still got some gusto in me
(I guess I got a little bit more)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics express a sense of regret and self-reflection as the singer acknowledges their past mistakes and the time wasted on a relationship that may not have been right for them.
