Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be, yeah

You've been hanging round my boyfriend
You've been sayin' that he's sweet, yeah
Girl, I know that you've been talking
Because the talk is on the street
You say that you are gonna steal his heart
Well, sweety you ain't gonna get that far
You're after somethin' that don't belong to you
Well, girlfriend I've got news for you
What are you trying to say Miss Thang?

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never gonna be your man

Well, I just ain't the kind of woman
To pick the fruit off of your tree, girl
And you keep saying that he's your man
But that ain't what he said to me

He blow me kisses as he drives away
He sends me roses in the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's thinking of
But I'm the one he really, really loves girl
So what am I trying to say? Don't dis me girl

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never, never gonna be you'll see

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never never gonna be your man, girl

What are you doin' layin' and hangin' back?
Don't you know it girl?
Just as I suspected
You been talkin' that line, line, line line line
And the nah nah nah nah but the man is mine, hey

He blows me kisses as he drives away
He sends me flowers in the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's thinking of
I know I'm the one that he really, really, really loves
What am I trying to say Miss It?
What are you trying to say?
Get real

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never, never gonna be you'll see

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never gonna be your man
Be your man

He is my man, of course he is
I don't think so

So now what is this?
Well, you know
That my man is supposed to be interested in you?
What can I say

You know, I realize that you're under pressure
Yes, I am
And that you are suffering from delusions, but uh
Well

Don't be ridiculous
I'm not
Get real
You better get real

You know the deal
He told me he loves me and that I'm just his forever
Uh huh, forever
Forever

Must have played out about 20 years ago
Now check this out
Your man is not my man
This is true
This is true

Now, every king has his queen
And I love my role being his queen
And I hope you like yours too
Well, I'm his princess
Whatever that is

Wait a minute
Okay, well, he said that I'm his princess
You might be his queen
But I'm his princess

Yeah, well, I like being the queen myself
Well, you know that's what you are




Shut up, shut up
Oh, this is funny

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Houston's song "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be" narrate a story of two women who are competing for the same man. The first verse describes how the other woman has been hanging around the singer's boyfriend and telling everyone he is sweet - this implies that the second woman is making inappropriate advances or at least acting in a way that is making the singer feel uncomfortable. The second verse is the singer's response to the advances, stating that she's not the type of woman to pick low-hanging fruit and that even though the other woman claims the man is hers, he's not acting like that with her. The chorus reinforces the message that the man is the singer's and will never be the other woman's. The third verse continues by describing how the man blows kisses to the singer and sends her flowers - this contrasted with the second woman's claims that he's hers. The final part of the song is the singer and the other woman bickering - they both claim to be the man's princess or queen and argue about what their respective roles entail.
