Something About You
Holiday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aye now fo real man
I can't stay that long
Let's go!

I've been doing wrong for so long
That it feels so right to me
But you're just not right for me
But it's something 'bout how you move on that floor
Way you be dancing and clappin' and shakin it girl
Had to keep you in my world

You may not be me material (no, no, no)
But I don't care (I don't care)
Girl your body and your face is so incredible
Can't seem to get you out my head

Just can't stop thinkin about ya
Can't stop thinkin about ya
I just can't stop thinkin about ya
And my girl's layin in my bed
I know it sounds crazy
But it's so real
It's so real

I gotta see you one last time, baby
My girl gon kill me but that's fine, baby baby
When I'm alone with you
Feels like you're the one
I'm heaven
Feels like heaven

You may not be me material (no, no, no)
But I don't care (I don't care)
Girl your body and your face is so incredible
Can't seem to get you out my head

Just can't stop thinkin about ya
Can't stop thinkin about ya
I just can't stop thinkin about ya
And my girl's layin in my bed
I know it sounds crazy
But it's so real
It's so real

If time stood still
I'd stay here with you forever
But I gotta go
Back to reality
'Cause my ladies out there waitin up for me

Just can't stop thinkin' about ya
Can't stop thinkin about ya
I just can't stop thinkin about ya
And my girl's layin in my bed
I know it sounds crazy




But it's so real
It's so real

As the new Mexican boy at the school in VA, I didn't speak any English, but there was this beautiful girl in my math class who took her time to teach me by sharing some music, including this song. After about 2 months of hanging out on a daily basis, we started dating and we were almost inseparable. One day while she was visiting her grandma in Vermont, some drunk driver crashed into her and she lost her life, along with her dad 😔 . She was the sweetest person you could ever meet. I miss her so much 😭 . I listen to this song imagining her by my side.
