Something to Prove
Gabi Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh boy its a mystery
I see all that we could be
If only you would hear
How much you mean to me
Don't know if its love
Do you believe?
Maybe I'm not sure
About what love is
But I just can't ignore
What I've been feeling
When I'm around you boy
I don't know the meaning
Of what we are 'cause
Those other girls
They go on and on and on
About how it's you they want
But they don't know enough
About what it takes
To love you
I wish it was
Someway I could make you mine for sure
'Cause right now you're not 100
So I'ma say something like

I want you
I want you
But I said enough boy
Is you that got
Something to prove
Something to prove
Do need you
Do need you
I think your the one boy
But you still got
Something to prove
Something to prove

Maybe your not sure
About what love is
'Cause I could tell by
The way you been acting
If she is on your mind
I shouldn't be here
Until you realize
I'm the one
And I go on and on and on
About how it's you I want
But you don't know enough
About what it takes to love you
I wish it was
Someway I could make you mine for sure
'Cause right now you're not 100
So i'ma say something like

I want you
I want you
But I said enough boy
Is you that got
Something to prove
Something to prove
Do need you
Do need you
I think your the one boy
But you still got
Something to prove
Something to prove

Boy you gotta quit playing games
If you want me to be yours
Just say it, baby
'Cause I, I wish it was
Someway I could make you mine for sure
'Cause right now you're not
Prove it to me

I want you
I want you
But I said enough boy
Is you that got
Something to prove
Something to prove
Do need you
Do need you
I think your the one boy
But you still got
Something to prove
Something to prove

I want you
I want you
But I said enough boy
Is you that got
Something to prove
Something to prove
Do need you
Do need you
I think your the one boy

I think it's creative how she didn't get a lot of hype with this record back in 2014 but... still decided to work threw out the year of 2015 then come back in the middle of 2016 and rebrand herself as an artist 😍😍😍

SNAZ JJ
