It Pushed Me
J.J. Hairston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something has changed and there's no hiding that
Sometimes I wish that I can read your mind
And see what secrets you have I can't find
I don't know what you're doing
Or how you spend your time
I've been getting this feeling
And I hope that I'm wrong
I don't wanna be right
You won't do this to me
Not me, not me
Why you asking me these questions? it's me
You know I ain't hiding nothing, it's me, it's me
You know I wear everything on my sleeve
You already know
It's me, it's me
Why you acting like a stranger? it's me
I have always been the same girl, it's me, it's me
Why is it a problem now?
It's like you just figured out
That it's me, it's me, it's me
Is there something you wanna talk about?
'Cause everything I do upsets you now
I'm starting to feel some type of way
Starting to feel like it's a game, and I don't wanna play, no
I don't know what you're doing
Or how you spend your time, no
I've been getting this feeling
That something just ain't right
And I hope that I'm wrong (I hope)
I don't wanna be right (I don't wanna be right)
You won't do this to me (You won't do this to me)
Not me, not me (not me)
Why you asking me these questions? it's me
Oh, you know I ain't hiding nothing, it's me, it's me (nothing, it's me)
You know I wear everything on my sleeve (everything, everything)
You already know (you, you, you already know)
It's me, it's me (you already know)
Why you acting like a stranger? it's me (Why you acting like a stranger, yeah?)
I have always been the same girl it's me, it's me (I never had a representative)
Why is it a problem now? (why?)
It's like you just figured out
It's me, it's me, it's me (yeah, yeah)
I don't really understand
Is this really happening?
Am I crazy?
No, it ain't me
You're the one that's losin' it
Why you lookin' at me so different?
Thought I used to be your best friend
Never on the outside looking in
Why you asking me theses questions? it's me (why, why, oh why?)
You know I ain't hiding nothing, it's me it's me (you know I ain't hiding nothing, babe)
You know I wear everything on my sleeve (everything)
You already know me (you already know)
It's me, it's me (you already know)
Why you acting like a stranger? it's me (why you acting like a stranger, babe?)
I have always been the same girl it's me, it's me (I have always been just plain old me)
Why is it a problem now? (why, why)
It's like you just figured out (you just figured out)
It's me, it's me, it's me
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

This Song shares my Testimony & the lyrics were things I've once said, thought, & understood of my Journey. Joseph in the Bible, knows all of what this is about and his Journey is hidden in the Lyrics also. I praise and thank God that we all, as His Children, are hidden in Him. Thankful to the woman who heard this and immediately said, "That's her Song." Stay strong in The Push Saints!
