Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is he the one you’ve been talking bout?
I can tell he’s good with the ladies
knows what to say and exactly how
The second you leave, he whispers to me
Sayin, “girl you look good tonight”!
I ain’t that girl you got me wrong!
Are you crazy?
Checkin me out
Is this really what your gonna do
You got a good one baby
Don’t mess around
My best friends not enough and now you want me too?
You shouldn’t look at me like you do when your girlfriends standing right next to you
Whatcha gonna do now that you gave yourself away
You should know I’m not afraid to call you out
She’s not the type that you wanna play
Listen I ain’t messin around
Get your hand off my back , stop doin that
Could you show a little respect?
I ain’t that girl you got me wrong
Are you crazy?
Checkin me out
Is this really what your gonna do?
You got a good one baby
Don’t mess around
My best friends not enough and now you want me too?
You shouldn’t look at me like you do when your girlfriends standing right next to you
The lyrics of Jaclyn Kenyon's song "Next to You" depict a situation in which the singer is being pursued by someone who is in a relationship. The first verse suggests that the person in question is in a happy relationship with someone else, but there is an undertone of doubt and jealousy. The singer notices that the person's partner is good with the opposite sex, knowing what to say and how to charm them. However, as soon as the person's partner is out of sight, they approach the singer and make advances, complimenting their looks.
In the chorus, the singer questions the sanity of the pursuer, wondering why they are checking them out and what they think they will achieve by doing so. The singer emphasizes that the pursuer already has a good partner and shouldn't mess around. Furthermore, the singer points out that their friendship is not enough, yet the pursuer seems to want more.
In the second verse, the singer warns the pursuer that they shouldn't have given themselves away, as the singer is not afraid to confront them. The singer also implies that the pursuer's current partner is not someone to be played with or taken lightly.
Overall, the song explores the themes of jealousy, infidelity, and the importance of loyalty within relationships. It highlights the singer's reluctance to be involved with someone who is already in a committed relationship and their insistence on being respected.
