Sauce
Ella Mai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We ain't even been talking for a minute yet
And now I already got you elevated
You don't know if I'm a sin or a sinner yet
But you already singing Ella praises
If we're out for the night
And you're by by side
Don't get emotional
'Cause niggas gon' slide
Wit' you in my ride
So I'd rather let you know

Even though, I'm good without you
I'm fucking with you regardless
And if that's gon' hurt you
Least you can say is I'm honest
Good things don't always get to you the way that you want it
I'm good without you but I'm fucking with you regardless

So tell me if it gets too much
Tell me if you bit too much
Boy, act right 'cause it's cool if
There's too much sauce in the food for you
Sorry that you can't keep up
You're looking like you bit too much
Boy, act right 'cause it's cool
There's too much sauce in the food for you
Too much sauce
I got too much sauce, sauce

Knowin' I still pull up when you need it
I gotta know you can deal with it (stop)
Readin' through the lines, boy, you're showin' (stop)
Playin' with your mind, 'bout to blow it
It takes a strong man, strong shoulders
You gotta level up if you want this (stop)
Chewing with your mouth wide open
Like you can't see

Even though, I'm good without you
I'm fucking with you regardless
And if that's gon' hurt you
Least you can say is I'm honest
Good things don't always get to you the way that you want it
I'm good without you but I'm fucking with you regardless

So tell me if it gets too much
Tell me if you bit too much
Boy, act right 'cause it's cool if
There's too much sauce in the food for you (too much)
Sorry that you can't keep up
You're looking like you bit too much
Boy, act right 'cause it's cool
There's too much sauce in the food for you
Too much sauce

Know what to do with it
You don't know what to do with it
I got too much sauce, sauce
Know what to do with it
You don't know what to do with it
Can't hang, can't hang with a boss
Know what to do with it
You don't know what to do with it
I got too much sauce, sauce
Know what to do with it
You don't know what to do with it
Too much sauce
(Right, right, right, yeah, damn, right, right)
I got too much sauce
(Right, right, right, yeah, damn, right, right)
Can't hang, can't hang with a boss
(Right, right, right, yeah, damn, right, right)
I got too much sauce, sauce
(Right, right, right, yeah, damn, right, right)

Four letters like love but less precious

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ella Mai's song Sauce tell the story of a budding romance that's moving too quickly. The opening lines reveal that the couple has only been talking for a minute, but already the singer has elevated her partner's emotions. The chorus warns the partner not to get too emotional because other guys will slide in; this speaks to the singer's love interest being unable to handle her level of energy and attention. However, the singer still loves being with her partner, even though she knows that she can keep going without him. She's honest with him about this and tells him if he can't keep up, but wants to continue the relationship regardless.


The verses of Sauce address the singer's partner directly. She tells him that she's too much for him to handle and that he needs to step up his game if he wants to be with her. The lyrics may suggest that the singer is strong, independent, and not willing to settle for anything less than what she wants. At the same time, she acknowledges that they have chemistry and that they enjoy each other's company. Throughout the song, Ella Mai sends a message that good things don't always come easy and that love requires effort, perseverance, and honesty.

Although I can survive without you, I still choose to be with you because I want to. Even if that decision causes you pain, at least I am being truthful. However, good things may not work out as planned with us.

Let me know in case our relationship gets too intense for you. You might get overwhelmed, and that is okay. There is a lot of confidence and swagger in me that may be hard for you to match. If that is the case, keep your cool and let me do me.


Knowin' I still pull up when you need it I gotta know you can deal with it (stop) Readin' through the lines, boy, you're showin' (stop) Playin' with your mind, 'bout to blow it It takes a strong man, strong shoulders You gotta level up if you want this (stop) Chewing with your mouth wide open Like you can't see
I want to make sure you can handle the ups and downs of being with someone like me. Sometimes, your behavior shows that you are playing games with me, which is disappointing. To be with me, you have to prove your worth and step up your game. Plus, pay more attention to me and stop being rude.

I am very confident in my abilities and experience in the dating world, and it shows. You may not be used to someone like me, and that is okay, but if you want to be with me, you have to step up your game, and show me that you can handle me.


Can't hang, can't hang with a boss Too much sauce
Finally, if you cannot handle my presence, confidence, and dating style, then you are not cut out for being with me. I have too much charisma and style to waste on someone who cannot keep up with me in every way.

@kenm2321

First things first... I love your voice and truly respect your talent.


You do not need to use profanity. Your voice, your talent and your message is better than that.


Profanity = The words of a person so bereft of intellect that base language is all they can muster,


Young lady, please stop degrading your gift...be better


Even if you don't, I am still a fan

@carlawilliams2607

Second Chances right some artist don't do that and if they do they only put a couple of songs on here that's why I love her.😊 she know some people broke to not by the album so she did us a favor

@lisasalmon1675

Why not this is where she (kinda) started😊😊

@GhostPlaysGames

@Lisa Salmon She actually kinda started on Instagram....lol....but it's smart for artist to upload their albums on their YouTube for the ad revenue from monetization....while releasing in stores and other digital platforms.
