H.E.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's really never been that deep
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout you
'Cause you didn't give a fuck about me
Thought I was up in my room
Cryin' myself to sleep
I was with a better you
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
Thought I wouldn't find out
Thought I didn't know how to play the game
Could've screamed at you for hours
Instead I was screamin' somebody else's name
There were no rules
Now I can do whatever I want
I can never lose
So it's funny how you thought you won
But I was playin' too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you
I was playin' you
I was playin' you, playin' you
I was, I was playin'
I was, I was playin' you
Too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
I was playin' you too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
Too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
Too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
Too, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, too
In "2," H.E.R. sings about a past relationship where she was hurt by her partner's lack of interest and commitment, leading her to seek out someone else. The song starts with the singer shrugging off the breakup, saying it wasn't a big deal to her since her partner never cared about her in the first place. She then reveals that while they were together, she found companionship with another person, all while her partner played her. H.E.R. later admits to getting revenge by sleeping with someone else while her partner remained unaware. The lyrics touch on themes of betrayal, hurt, and empowerment, as H.E.R. takes control of her own happiness after being mistreated by her partner.
Line by Line Meaning
It's cool
I am indifferent to the situation
It's really never been that deep
It's not as serious as you think it is
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout you
I wasn't focused on you
'Cause you didn't give a fuck about me
You didn't care about me at all
Thought I was up in my room
I seemed sad and alone
Cryin' myself to sleep
I was upset and emotional
I was with a better you
I was better off without you
While you were busy playin' me
You were using me for your own benefit
I was playin' you too-too-too
I was also using you for my own benefit
Thought I wouldn't find out
You thought you could hide the truth from me
Thought I didn't know how to play the game
You underestimated my skills and knowledge
Could've screamed at you for hours
I could have confronted you intensely
Instead I was screamin' somebody else's name
I found someone else to focus my attention on
There were no rules
The situation was chaotic and unstructured
Now I can do whatever I want
I am in control and can act freely
I can never lose
I have the upper hand and cannot be defeated
So it's funny how you thought you won
You were mistaken about the outcome
I was playin' you too-too-too
I was using you just like you were using me
I was playin' you
I was manipulating and exploiting you
Too
As well
Too
In the same way
Too
Also

So it's funny how you thought you won
But I was playing you 2-2-2
I was playing you 2-2-2(3x)
I was playing you

Playing you

I was
I was playing you
