What It's Like
Jagged Edge feat. Jermaine Dupri Lyrics

Ooh ahh, Ooh ahh, ooh ahh ahh ahh
The singer is using a generic filler sound as an introduction to the song

Everyday I age, I just want my life to change
The singer is getting older and wants his life to be different than it currently is

I done been around, put away my childish things
The singer has had many life experiences and is maturing as he gets older

Like my attitude, it ain't good to be so rude
The singer recognizes that his previous behavior was not good and he wants to change himself

I wanna be in love, it's my right to
The singer desires to experience love and believes it's something he deserves

And every year I seem to make some really bad mistakes
The singer has made poor decisions in the past and recognizes that he needs to learn from those mistakes

And I'm ready now, I don't wanna be this way
The singer is now prepared for a change in his life and is no longer content with his current behavior

I'm finding out, what it's all about. Yeah
The singer is discovering what really matters in life

I want to be in love
The singer desires to experience a romantic love with someone else

What's it like to be in love? That's all I been thinking of
The singer is curious about what it's like to be in love and thinks about it often

And I was just wondering, wil love ever know me?
The singer wonders if he will ever find a person to love him back

And my heart is open, and I've been hoping
The singer is emotionally receptive and optimistic that he will find love

To find what it is everybody keep on talking 'bout
The singer is searching for the meaning of love that he hears from others

What's it like to be in love? That's all a nigga thinking of
The singer repeats his curiosity about being in love and uses slang language

And my heart is open, and I've been hoping
The singer repeats his emotional openness and optimism about finding love

Somebody show me, what's it like to be in love?
The singer is requesting guidance from someone who has experienced love

My life has changed somehow, but still so much the same
Although the singer's life has changed, he still feels unsatisfied and unfulfilled

Got a bank account, I'm still broken down
The singer may have wealth, but he is emotionally and mentally struggling

I need to know, where does this road go(hopefully someone for me)
The singer wonders where his future will take him and is hopeful that he will meet someone special

Family, is that so much to ask Thee?
The singer desires to have a family and is questioning why he has not found that yet

Begging please
The singer is pleading for help or guidance

Feel like I'm going mad
The singer feels like he is losing control of his emotions

I'd trade all I have
The singer is willing to give up everything he has for love

Just to know...
The singer is incomplete and unsatisfied without love

I know love is something that you can't go out and buy
The singer knows that love cannot be purchased with money

When you looking, always seems like it's the wrong time
The singer has had difficulty finding love and it always seems inconvenient or wrong timing

But I hope one day I'll give away this heart of mine
The singer hopes to one day find the right person to give his heart to

Girl I think I'm ready
The singer is now emotionally prepared for a romantic relationship

I wanna know love
The singer is actively seeking to experience love

What's it like to be in love
The singer repeats his curiosity and desire to know what it feels like to be in love
