Why Ya Wanna
Jana Kramer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this little town
Yeah, you had to come walkin' in here
And sit down
I'm hidin' and hopin'
My face ain't too red
Since we've been over, I've been tryin' like crazy
So, why ya wanna show up in a
Old t-shirt that I love
Why ya gotta tell me that I'm
Lookin' good, don't know what
You were thinkin' you were doin'
Movin' in for a hug
Like you don't know I'm comin' unglued
Why ya gotta, why ya wanna
Make me keep wantin' you
I wish ya had on sunglasses
To cover up those blue eyes
I wish you said somethin' mean
Made me glad that you said goodbye
Why can't you look off somewhere
You catch me starin' at you
Why can't you be cold like any old
Good ex would do
So, why ya wanna show up in a
Old t-shirt that I love
Why ya gotta tell me that I'm
Lookin' good, don't know what
You were thinkin' you were doin'
Movin' in for a hug
Like you don't know I'm comin' unglued
Why ya gotta, why ya wanna
Make me keep wantin' you
Keep wantin' you
Why, why, why
Would you tell me that you'd call me up sometime
Maybe we could get a drink and just catch up
Like that'd be enough
No, that ain't enough
Why ya gotta show up in a
Old T-shirt that I love
Why ya gotta tell me that I'm
Lookin' good, don't know what
You were thinkin', you were doin'
Movin' in for a hug
Like you don't know I'm comin' unglued
Why ya gotta, why ya wanna
Make me keep wantin' you
Why ya gotta, why ya wanna
Make me keep wantin' you
Why ya gotta, why ya wanna
Make me keep wantin' you
Out of all of the places
In this little town
Yeah, you had to come walkin' in here
And sit down
The lyrics of Jana Kramer's song "Why Ya Wanna" describe a situation where the singer's ex-boyfriend has shown up unexpectedly and caught her off guard. Although she has been trying hard to forget and move on from him, his sudden appearance has left her feeling flustered and confused. The first verse sets the scene for the encounter, with the singer explaining how she is trying to hide her true feelings and maintain her composure in front of her ex. She is taken aback by his appearance, particularly the fact that he is wearing an old t-shirt that she loves. The chorus expresses the singer's frustration with her ex's behavior, as he seems to be deliberately trying to make her want him again. She wishes that he would just go away and stop torturing her with his presence.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's conflicted emotions, as she wishes that her ex would act more like a "good ex" and stay cold and distant towards her. She is annoyed with herself for still feeling attracted to him despite everything he put her through. The bridge of the song sees the singer expressing her frustration with her ex's attempt to reconnect with her on a platonic basis. She knows that she still has feelings for him and that seeing him again will only make things worse. By the end of the song, the singer is resigned to the fact that she is still in love with her ex, and that he has a power over her that she cannot resist.

I wish ya had on sunglasses
To cover up those blue eyes
I wish you said somethin' mean
Made me glad that you said goodbye
I wish there was something about you that made it easier to move on from our relationship, like wearing sunglasses to hide your eyes or saying something mean to remind me why we broke up.
Why can't you look off somewhere
You catch me starin' at you
Why can't you be cold like any old
Good ex would do
Why can't you just ignore me and not engage with me, like any normal ex would do after a breakup?
Why, why, why

Maybe we could get a drink and just catch up

Make me keep wantin' you
Overall, why are you purposely trying to make me want you more and keeping me from moving on from our past relationship?

Deslocada nessa pequena cidade
Yeah, Você tinha que vim aqui e se sentar
Estou me escondendo e torcendo para não estar vermelha
Desde que nós terminamos eu venho tentando muito te tirar da minha cabeça
Entããão
Por que você quer
Que eu te veja nessa camisa velha que eu adoro
Por que você me diz que estou bonita, não sei o que
Você estava pensando
Você estava fazendo
Se aproximando para um abraço
Como se você não soubesse que eu estou deslocada
Por que você tem, por que você quer
Me fazer continuar te querendo
Eu queria que você usa-se óculos escuros
Para cobrir esses olhos azuis
Eu queria que você dissesse algo cruel
Que me fizesse sentir prazer em dizer adeus
Por que você ir para algum lugar
Se você me pegar olhando pra você
Por que você não pode ser frio como todo ex faria
Entããão
Por que você quer
Que eu te veja nessa camisa velha que eu adoro
Por que você me diz que estou bonita, não sei o que
Você estava pensando
Você estava fazendo
Se aproximando para um abraço
Como se você não soubesse que eu estou deslocada
Por que você tem,
Por que você quer
Me fazer continuar te querendo
Continuar te querendo
Por que?
Por que?
Por que?
Você diria que me ligaria algum dia
Talvez pudéssemos
Tomar alguma coisa e conversar
Como se isso fosse suficiente
Não, isso não é sufuciente
Por que você quer
Que eu te veja nessa camisa velha que eu adoro
Por que você me diz que estou bonita, não sei o que
Você estava pensando
Você estava fazendo
Se aproximando para um abraço
Como se você não soubesse que eu estou deslocada
Por que você tem,
Por que você quer
Me fazer continuar te querendo
Por que você tem
Por que você quer
Me fazer continuar te querendo
Por que você tem
Por que você quer
Me fazer continuar te querendo
Descolada
Nessa pequena cidade
Yeah, Você tinha que vim aqui se sentar
