Done
Frank Ocean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting next to your coffee table while
I'm tryna fix your cable box, again
Said you couldn't get channel four
And that's the only one you wanted to watch

Last week I was walking your dog, baby
Scrubbing your dishes
Took your clothes to the cleaners
I don't mind, cause

When I'm done when I'm done
I'm gon' get every little bit of your love
When I'm done (I'm gonna get it)
When I'm done (You gon' get it)
You gon' feel every little bit of my love

Spent all day in my kitchen slaying
You didnā€™t even know that I could cook, oh
But you say youā€™re tired and
You're ready to go home
Girl, you didnā€™t even touch your food, no

Last week I was washing your towels
Scrubbing your dishes
Took your clothes to the cleaners
I don't mind, cause

When I'm done when I'm done
I'm gon' get every little bit of your love
When I'm done (I'm gonna get it)
When I'm done (You gon' get it)
You gon' feel every little bit of my love
When I'm done when I'm done
I'm gon' get every little bit of your love
When I'm done (I'm gonna get it)
When I'm done (You gon' get it)
You gon' feel every little bit of my love

Well, gimme some more, baby gimme some more
It's never enough, baby
You gotta let me know
You need somethin', tell me somethin'
Gather somethin' to hold baby, I'll do it
Huh, 'cause

When I'm done (When I'm done)
When I'm done (When I'm done)
I'm gon' get every little bit of your love
When I'm done (I'm gon' get it)
When I'm done (Whoa, you gon' get it)
You gon' feel every little bit of my love
When I'm done when I'm done
I'm gon' get every little bit of your love
When I'm done (I'm gonna get it)




When I'm done (You gon' get it)
You gon' feel every little bit of my love

[Verse 1]
Iā€™ll stack these magazines in the corner
After Iā€™m done with them
And I still got the same hope that I started with
That youā€™ll be in one of them
My camera shed some tears since you left him
With nothing, with nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
How am I supposed to remember?
I got the memories
But memories fade, baby
What am I gonna show to my kids, girl?
When Iā€™m older, and my mind is telling me to forget you
Whatā€™s gonna make me remember?

[Chorus]
Thatā€™s why I was always taking pictures, pictures
ā€˜Cause I didnā€™t wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left - nothing left
They were part of our history, this story
I was always taking pictures
ā€˜Cause I didnā€™t wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad
Miss you so bad, miss you so

[Verse 2]
We didnā€™t make love
We celebrated its invention
Confetti on the mattress - I used to have those images
Tonight I came home they were just embers in the fire
Along with my hard drive, no notes, no goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
How the hell am I supposed to remember?
Tell me now, I got the memories
But memories donā€™t last...
What am I gonna show to my kids, baby?
When Iā€™m older, and my mindā€™s telling me to forget you
Whatā€™s gonna make me remember?

[Chorus]
Thatā€™s why I was always taking pictures, pictures
ā€˜Cause I didnā€™t wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left - nothing left
They were part of our history, this story
I was always taking pictures
ā€˜Cause I didnā€™t wanna miss you

[Verse 3]
No video, no polariods
No record of the love we had
My Nikon wasnā€™t fast enough
To catch my heart break in half
No smiles in my picture frame, no
Just got them little basic ones that the picture frames come with
Models, wedding pictures, you know

[Chorus]
Thatā€™s why I was always taking pictures, pictures
'Cause I didnā€™t wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures?
When you knew they were all that I had left ā€“ nothing left
They were part of our history, this story
I was always taking pictures
'Cause I didnā€™t wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad
Miss you so bad, miss you soā€¦



@JianniCarter

I stack these magazines in the corner after I'm done with em
Then I still got the same old love that I started with
But you be in one of them
My camera shed some tears since you left em with nothing.
With nothing
How am I suppose to remember
Oooh
And all the memories.
The memories they faded
What am I gonna show to the kids girl
Oohh noo
My mind is telling me to forget you
What's gonna make me remember?
That's why I was always taking pictures.
Pictures
Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing
Miss a thing
Tell me how I could take the pictures
Pictures
When you know they were all I had left
Nothing left
They were part of our history
I was always tsking pictures
Pictures
Cause I didn't wanna miss you bad
Miss you this bad

I just got to experience this song for the first time... wow

@vexrich

Same

@Kiara-jm2cq

Me too

@obrey__

Kiara kind of random, but a song I really wish I could hear for the first time again is called track x by black road, new country. Suuper beautiful and haunting

@vexrich

@@obrey__ We say things like that but my favorite music sounds best when I've heard it a lot, and take a break and hear it again knowing most of the words but noticing something new in it

@obrey__

Vex Rich true.. I still feel the song, but Iā€™m afraid of getting sick of it.. now that I think about it, this is kind of a great spot to be in. I hope I remember this when I go through a mid life crisis and romanticize youth lol
