No Way Out
Diddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even the dog can feel the chill
She lays her head down on the table
Next to a stack of unpaid bills
Daddy comes and puts his arms around her
He says "Girl, your stockings' startin' run
Now it ain't ever been easy
But ain't it always been fun, fun, fun"
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way out
I said no way
Daddy's cussin' in the backyard
Got the engine hangin' from a tree
Kickin' the tires on the T-Bird
He says, "T, you ain't gettin' the best of me, not this time"
Mamma comes dancin' out the back door
Snappin' a dish towel in her hand
She says, "Don't you be wastin' all that good energy
Don't you know how I love a sweaty man-oh-man-oh"
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way, no way out
I said no way out
Fell in love and there's no way out
Fell in love and there's no way out
Fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way, no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way
No, no way, no way out
The lyrics to Diddy's song "No Way Out" paint a picture of a dysfunctional but loving family. The scene depicted is one of financial struggle, as the mother is crying in the kitchen next to unpaid bills. However, the father is there to console her and remind her that "it ain't ever been easy, but ain't it always been fun?" This shows that despite their struggles, their love for each other keeps them going.
In the second verse, we see the father in the backyard working on his car, while the mother comes out to join in the work. This shows that they are a team, and even in their hobbies, they come together. The line "Don't you know how I love a sweaty man-oh-man-oh" also adds some humor to the song, further emphasizing that sometimes you just have to laugh about the hardships in life.
Overall, the message of the song is that even in tough times, love can keep us going. We may feel trapped or stuck in a situation, but the love we have for those closest to us can give us the motivation to keep pushing forward.
