Holler
Dawn and Hawkes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll come for you
If you ever want me
I'll be waitin'
If you ever need me
Baby let me know
If you get restless with her lovin'
She'll never know
Holler if you get tired
And I'll come for you
Holler if you get tired
And I'll come, come for you
If you ever wonder
If I've been watchin'
I saw it comin'
From a mile away
Oh make it used to
A certain taste on a menu
And she ain't servin' up
What will make you stay
Holler if you get tired
And I'll come for you
Holler if you get tired
And I'll come, come for you
Then the conviction
Strong as metal and steel
Can be pulled like a magnet
To the way a woman feels
If you need a reminder
And you're ready to go
I keep my engine runnin'
She'll never know
Holler if you get tired
And I'll come for you
Holler if you get tired
And I'll come, come for you
I'll come for you
I'll come for you
I'll come for you
The lyrics of "Holler" by Dawn and Hawkes tells a story of a person who is always available for their lover, even when they are in another relationship. The song starts with a promise of support: "Holler if you get tired, and I'll come for you." It's an assurance that the singer is there for their lover no matter what happens, and they will always be waiting for them.
As the song progresses, the artist acknowledges their lover's current relationship and admits that they're not happy with it. The line "And she ain't servin' up what will make you stay" implies that the new lover is not up to scratch and is not the right fit for the singer. The line, "Oh make it used to a certain taste on a menu" indicates that the singer is aware of their lover's preferences, which the new partner is not fulfilling.
The song ends with an assurance of the singer's commitment: "I keep my engine runnin', she'll never know." Though they acknowledge their lover's current relationship, the singer promises to be there whenever their lover needs them. The song's melody and slower pace give a feeling of longing and heartbreak as they sing about the difficulties of love.

I'll come for you
I'll always be a shoulder to cry on or someone to lean on
