3 Minutes to Explain
Fedde Le Grand & Funkerman Lyrics

Hey man, hey man
Addressing someone in the audience, possibly a friend or fan.

Just get closer
Come closer to the stage or dance floor to experience the music fully.

Let it take over
Let the music take control of your body and mind, allow yourself to fully immerse in the experience.

I only got three minutes to explain myself
The singer has a limited time to convey his message to the audience.

But don't stop dancing
Despite the singer's limited time, encourage the audience to continue dancing and enjoying themselves.

Just listen to me
Although the audience is dancing, the singer urges them to listen closely to his message.

I've been on this stage of life before
The singer has experienced similar situations in life before.

I told myself don't do this no more
The singer made a promise to himself not to repeat past experiences.

As you can see I'm here again
Unfortunately, the singer has broken his promise and ended up in a similar situation again.

Doing it over and over and over again
The singer has repeated this same mistake multiple times.

This ain't what I want
The current situation is not what the singer desires.

This ain't what I need
The current situation is not fulfilling the singer's needs.

You better stop this thing
The singer is warning someone, possibly himself or someone in the audience, to stop the current behavior or situation.

Don't do it to me
The singer is asking someone not to continue with the current behavior or situation because it is harmful to him.

Just set me free
The singer is asking to be released from the current situation so he can be free to pursue his desires and needs.
