Talk About It
Filah Lah Lah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that you're a charmer, knew I was gone when it started
Look at you in that jacket, that you got from your dad
You’re the best occupant that that things ever had, oh
Don't be careful, it don't matter now
I gotta know what
We are doing, tell me what we are
And we talk about it
Can we talk about it?
I started thinking about us, as more than friends
You’ve got that thing that girls, like us, can't resist
Wait a minute
What you mean that you're single?
I really thought that we were a thing, what you mean though?
Introduced you to my team and my mama
She don't like you but that's the last thing on my mind
You know I can be a fool for the drama
Scared some things; death, loneliness and karma
...and karma, yeah
Can we talk about it?
Can we talk about it?
Can we talk about it? (oh, whoa)
Reading too much in between the lines
Looked way too hard and I became blind
Must've fucked up and mistaken time
For interest
For interest
Think I just wanted you way too badly
Didn't have you, though you had me
And even though you know I'd take you gladly;
I can’t guarantee that we’d be happy
Don't be careful, it don't matter now, oh
I gotta know what
We are doing, tell me what we are (I got to know, whoa)
I gotta know what we-
I gotta know what we-
I gotta know what we are
Oh whoa
Oh, yeah

Wait a minute
Hold on, let me process this information
What you mean that you're single?
Are you saying that you are currently unattached?
I really thought that we were a thing, what you mean though?
I genuinely believed we had something more between us, so what are you trying to say?
Introduced you to my team and my mama
I proudly introduced you to my friends and even my mother
She don't like you but that's the last thing on my mind
My mother may not approve of you, but her opinion doesn't greatly concern me
You know I can be a fool for the drama
You are aware that I can easily get caught up in dramatic situations
Scared some things; death, loneliness and karma
I am afraid of certain things like death, feeling alone, and facing the consequences of my actions
...and karma, yeah
Especially karma, it weighs on my mind
Reading too much in between the lines
I am over-analyzing and searching for hidden meanings in our interactions
Looked way too hard and I became blind
I examined things too intensely, which caused me to lose sight of the bigger picture
Must've fucked up and mistaken time
I must have made a mistake and misjudged the timing of our relationship
For interest
Thinking it was a sign of your genuine romantic interest
Think I just wanted you way too badly
I believe I desired you excessively and desperately
Didn't have you, though you had me
Although you had my affections, I didn't actually possess you in return
And even though you know I'd take you gladly
Despite knowing I would willingly accept you, without hesitation
I can’t guarantee that we’d be happy
I cannot assure our happiness as a couple
I gotta know what we are doing, tell me what we are
I need to have clarity on our relationship and its defined purpose
Oh, yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
