Bottled Up
Dinah Jane Lyrics

I don't need no diamond ring, baby, I got you
I don't need materialistic items to be happy, because I have your love

I can buy the finer things, simple things will do
While I am capable of buying expensive things, I find happiness in the simpler things in life

Said the best things in life are free, now I know why
I previously heard that the best things in life are free, but now that I have your love, I understand the true value of that statement

Since you gave your love to me, opened up my eyes
Your love has helped me to see the beauty in life and appreciate the things that truly matter

I'm a bad chick, I need a bad one with me
I am a confident and independent woman, but I want a partner who is equally strong and independent

Work from home, but he gon' stay up with me
Even though I work from home, I want a partner who will stay up with me and keep me company

No sleep tonight, yeah, you know what I like
I am willing to sacrifice my sleep for quality time with my partner who knows what I enjoy

If you ride for me, I'm gonna ride for you
If you support and stand by me, I will do the same for you

Back to back, but we gon' make it through
We may face challenges or tough times, but we will get through them together

I'm drinking, baby, 'cause I'm bottled up
I'm drinking to escape my emotions or feelings that I am holding inside

I'm smoking, baby, yeah, I'm high as fuck
I'm smoking to get high and further escape my emotions or feelings

Bottled up, yeah, yeah
I am feeling emotionally trapped, as if my feelings are bottled up inside of me

Feeling like Bee & Jay, we're drunk in love, yeah
I feel as though we are like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who famously sang about being 'drunk in love'

I put 50 on your wrist, that don't mean shit
Monetary items may be nice, but they don't mean anything compared to our love for each other

When you tell me that you're mine, I know you mean it
I trust that when you tell me you love me, it is genuine and sincere

D'Ussé, put it on the rocks
Ordering a popular brand of cognac on the rocks

Little baby, on that French Vanilla Ciroc (ooh, yeah)
Ordering a popular brand of flavored vodka

We could be anywhere in the world right now
Despite the world being a big place, we are content just being together in any given location

But you're here with me, girl (oh, woah)
Having you by my side is all I need to be happy and content

I know that sex appeal is all they sell
Society often emphasizes sex appeal as the most important quality, but I know that it is not the case

I could get it with a one night stand, but it won't be real
I could easily find temporary satisfaction with a one night stand, but it would not compare to the real and genuine love that I have with my partner

But he putting in the work
My partner is putting in effort to make our relationship work

Let me feel if this is worth it
I want to feel and experience the love that we share, in order to decide if it is worth the effort and commitment

Gonna have to hit him with the bust down
Referring to a popular dance move where one quickly punches down towards the floor with both hands

Baby, gettin' bottled up, yeah
Again expressing that I am emotionally trapped and need to escape through drinking and smoking

Baby, I'm bottled up, yeah
Reiterating that my emotions are trapped and I am coping through self-medication

I'm bottled up, I'm bottled up
I am struggling with internal emotions and am not able to freely express them
