Morning
J.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh whoa
You ain't even give me a warnin'
You left all your things and walked through that door
I don't wanna feel what I feel no more
You ain't even give me a warnin'
She stopped sleepin' in my bed
She left things inside my head
I don't wanna see no more (I don't wanna see no more)

Yeah, she give me head, shoulders, knees and toes, all of the above
Let down your guard for once, tell me who you love
We throw shots, we ain't into throwin' subs
I put one and two together
I shoulda known you're not the one for me
No more butterflies when I'm grippin' on that waistline (grippin' on that waistline)
If they don't come outside, we gon' pull up on 'em late night (pull up on 'em late night)
Put a shield around my heart 'cause these bitches wanna break mine
I should've known you're not the one for me

You could hit me in the mornin', girl, go proceed on with your night
You didn't give me a warnin', so girl, proceed on with your life
You could hit me in the mornin', girl, go proceed on with your night
You didn't give me a warnin', so girl, proceed on with your life

Do you know how it feels
Wakin' up next to someone you don't love?
You playin' with my heart and that's a no-no
I feel like I'm better off not knowin' what I don't know (oh), girl
I ain't turnin' on my phone 'cause you hit me up too much
And I'm better off alone, I don't really need too much
Two shots to the head for that boy you fucked (doo, doo)
Took shots to the head but you don't give no fucks 'bout me
Where was my warnin' when I needed one? (Mm-hm)
You want the mornin' 'cause at night you'd rather see someone (mm-hm)
Can't keep on mournin' over bitches I don't need no more (mm-hm)
Stuck on stupid is where I'm about to leave 'em all (mm-hm)
She only let me hit it in the mornin' (in the mornin')
It's crazy 'cause I always give it to you when you want it (when you want it)
Yeah, she don't love me, she just said it for the moment (for the moment)
I thought I controlled it (controlled it), she told me I owned it (I owned it)

You ain't even give me a warnin'
You left all your things and walked through that door
I don't wanna feel what I feel no more
You ain't even give me a warnin'
She stopped sleepin' in my bed
She left things inside my head
I don't wanna see no more (I don't wanna see no more)

You could hit me in the mornin', girl, go proceed on with your night
You didn't give me a warnin', so girl, proceed on with your life




You could hit me in the mornin', girl, go proceed on with your night
You didn't give me a warnin', so girl, proceed on with your life
