Yo
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike feat. Ne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One of my best girls went and got a boo all of a sudden
Damn, and I can't even do nothin'
What I'm s'posed to do, tell her don't be happy?
So that I can keep comin' around
How messed up would that be?
So I'm chillin'
But I must admit, I'm kind of mad
Ain't every day you find one like that
Beautiful body with a brain to match
Make a fella start feeling attached
No filter fine, body, soul and mind
Any man can't see that, he must be blind
I'm Ray Charles with mine
So I missed the train
The only thing left to say is

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, baby I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Single and happy, that's where I'm at
And she wasn't ever approving of that
She wanted me to give her more
But I told her though, ain't long ago
A relationship, I wasn't lookin' for
In and out of town and always on the road
But when I hit that city I called her though
And that's wrong, so wrong
She waited for me to come around so long, so long
And now that wifey material is wifey material
And if you ain't ready, the wife gotta let it go
I wasn't, he was though
So

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Congratulations
Said it kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, baby I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

I can't, give up, what I don't got
So I got to let him, have her, like it or not
Like she deserves

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, baby I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were




But congratulations, I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Don't give me love
Governed by life
Limited by
These worldy heights
I want a love
That the universe
Can never stop
Can never hurt
I want a love that will last
After this world is our past
A love that no time could erase
A love in a higher place

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Don't sell me short
(Don't sell me short)
On unconditional
(On unconditional)
I want a love
Beyond what we all know
Whoooooooo
I want a love that will last
After this world is our past
A love that no time could erase
A love in a higher place

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

NOSTALGIA hit hard with that song... i miss so much 2013 - 2014 - 2015 - 2016 with all my heart...
this era when life was easier than now, having great time with old friends from elementary school and middle school...
and all the summers too...
when i was listening all of these music of the radio in the car of my dad during the way to school and the way to home...
listening these song in the radio the night with friends too...
when I was in boarding school 2 nights per week...
( i was in 2 school at the same time, in that boarding school and and another school of mine, the other one it was because of difficulties i had at school)
miss this place and these time... do activities such as going to the swimming pool, cinema, fishing, playing in the big park that this boarding school had, and in those moments listening to the radio with thes musics that was playing, we all listened together on the road to come back and go to do activities... even in the begining of summer, i miss it so much...
i miss when i was in my FNAF phase...
i miss when i was in my Portal phase...
i miss when i loved to play pokemon games...
with some animes of these years...
playing a lot Minecraft,ROBLOX and KoGaMa... with old friends... (still play all of thes games, but it's not like before...)
all these movies i watched in the cinema in thes years, i miss it too... a lot of movies from Dreamworks...some from disney too... mostly them...
i miss my old life...😭
