Cece's Interlude
Drake/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All night I've been staring,
Can you tell I want you?
Can't be too wide open,
But there's nothing I wont do,
Oh, just thought you should know,
That when you start to laugh, oh
See, I just want what I can't have, oh
Want her to give me a chance, oh

Claiming I'm just not as serious as you,
Shawty if you only knew,
This is serious.

Uh, I wish I, wasn't famous,
I wish I, was still in school,
So, that I could have you in my dorm room,
I would put it on you, crazy,
Cause when you start to laugh, oh
See, I just want what I can't have, oh
Want her to give me a chance, oh
Claiming I'm just not as serious as you,

Shawty if you only knew,
This is serious.

[Verse 1]
All night I - been staring--can you tell I want you?
Can't be too - wide open--there's nothing I won't do
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
Just thought you should
Know-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-whoa-ooh

[Chorus]
That's when you start to laugh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Saying I just want what I can't have (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Won't even give me a chance (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Claiming I'm just not as serious as you
Shawty if you only knew
This is serious...Unh

I wish I - wasn't famous
I wish I - was still in school
So that I could have you in my dorm room
I would put it on you--crazy
