Hung Up
Five Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm right, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Maybe you're too young to decide
Maybe you're blind
She just wants to use you

Maybe I'm right
Maybe you're too young to decide
On who you're hung up on
Maybe you're blind, yeah
She just wants to use you
To let her decide
On who you're hung up on

Maybe one day, you'll see the light
What will it take, for you to realise
Think to have one will satisfy
Who will be that special one in your life

I wanna be there, when you need me
When things don't go right
I wanna find you, when you're lost
And love is alright (it's alright)
I wanna guide you
To a place where you're think of
But I refuse to be your second hand love

Maybe I'm right, yeah
Maybe you're too young to decide
On who you're hung up on
Maybe you're blind
She just wants to use you
To let her decide
On who you're hung up on

Never miss love, until it's gone
To find that thing in another mans arms
Don't walk away, unless you're sure
That you made (that you made the right choice)
The right choice, yeah

I wanna be there, when you need me
When things don't go right
I wanna find you, when you're lost
And love is alright (it's alright)
I wanna guide you
To a place where you're think of
But I refuse to be your second hand love, oh oh oh

Maybe I'm right
Maybe you're too young, yeah, to decide
Ooh, ooh
On who you're hung up on
Maybe you're blind
(she just wants to use you, baby)
She just wants to use you
To let her decide
On who you're hung up on

Not looking for another man (no, no)
To start again would be different, baby
Don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
And make me cry, oh oh
I just can't live without you in my life
(baby you know, baby I'm right)

Maybe I'm right
Maybe you're too young, ooh ooh, to decide
On who you're hung up on
Maybe you're blind
(don't you know she just wants use you)
She just wants to use you
To let her decide
On who you're hung up on

(gotta decide, gotta decide)
Maybe I'm right
(do you want me)
Maybe you're too young, yeah, to decide
(do you want it)
On who you're hung up on
Maybe you're blind
(do you want me)
She just wants to use you
(gotta let me know, baby)
To let her decide
On who you're hung up on

Maybe I'm right
Maybe you're too young to decide
On who you're hung up on (hung up, hung up)
Maybe you're blind




She just wants to use you
To let her decide

Overall Meaning

The song "Hung Up" by Five Star is essentially about someone warning another person, who is most likely a friend or a loved one, to be careful about who they allow into their lives. The singer, who seems to be a bit older or more experienced than the person they are speaking to, is telling them that they may be too naive or inexperienced to see that someone is manipulating them. The "she" referred to in the song is most likely a woman who is romantically interested in the person being warned. The singer is telling the person that this woman is only interested in using them for her own purposes, and that they should be careful not to fall under her spell.


The song then goes on to describe how the singer wants to be there for the person being warned, but they refuse to be a second choice. The singer wants the person to be sure of the choices they make and not just to settle for someone who might not be right for them. The chorus repeats the idea that the person being warned may be too young or inexperienced to make the right choices about who they allow into their lives.


Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the importance of being careful about who we allow into our lives, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. The singer is trying to protect the person they are warning from getting hurt by someone who may not have their best interests at heart.
