Deja Vu
E-Smoove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look in yo eyes, and it's so familiar
So peculiar, really something strange
Something bout the way you call me Daddy
Something bout the way you say my name
Everything is distant really reminiscent feel like a part of my past life
Tryna piece it every single moment, I can't really put my finger on it
From the juicy curving of your lips
I can't do nothing but sit and stare
Every second full of bliss
Hold up, tell me how'd you know to kiss me there
Girl I feel like you can read my mind
See that you know how to feed my soul
This relationship is spankin' new
But the connection is feeling old
I cannot get it, I don't fully understand
How she got me discombobulated, balanced on my hands
Mind is upside down, but the upside now is baby girl know how to treat the R.E.A.L. like a man
When I met my bae, she took my breath away
Now she got my face all blue
I asked lil shawty, I said "What's yo name?"
She looked in my eyes and said Deja Vu

Oh
You remind me of someone I know
You ain't gotta worry about it
Cuz, I still love you
Oh
I feel like I've been here before
Baby girl give me Deja Vu

Now don't take this to mean
That I'm in between
Peep the movie scene
In this new regime
Past is peasantry
You my future queen
And I just be calling you princess
You my rider my baller my temptress
But tell me how all of the boxes have been checked
Guidelines, for you, to follow you been met
It's like you were made for this
Filling the gaps that I came to miss
Old flame gave a plain assist
Similar but you not a plagiarist
She gone hate that she made this a problem
And you looking like that solution
Listen when I say that you ain't a replacement, but you turning into the evolution
I cannot get it, find it hard to believe
That these apple bottom jeans fell far from this tree
Falling upside down, but the upside now is
I finished with her, when you started with me
The remains of my bittersweet stays in my memories
But that's about to phase out too
Down with the misery, found me a missing piece
And her name is Deja Vu

Oh
You remind me of someone I know
I ain't even tripping
Cuz, I still love you
Oh
I feel like I've been here before




Every time I look in yo eyes
Baby girl give me Deja Vu
