Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Ryan Leslie:]
I'm in a fresh pair of new kicks
You're Facebook is looking old time for new flicks
What's the status update mean
When you break up with him tell him don't hate me
It's not my fault
Cause the difference 'tween he and I
Is my full time job is just being fly
And my gold is cold plated yellow
If he call crying
Tell him Ryan said get lost

[Jasmine Villegas:]
I was running, running
Looking for somebody
But I always end up with nothing, nothing
Just a matter of time
And I know my prince was coming, coming
And now I know I found you
Cause you had me at hello, hello, hello

Tryna follow rules but I don't know the protocol
Should I make this move or are you even interested at all
Am I right am I wrong
If my instincts are honest then welcome to my heart yeah
I was tryna fill and empty space
Looking for someone who could take this pain away
And still somehow i'd end up feeling lonely
And then I met you
Then I met you

I was running, running
Looking for somebody
But I always end up with nothing, nothing
Just a matter of time
And I know my prince was coming, coming
And now I know I found you
Cause you had me at hello, hello, hello

Standing on this floor I
Don't know how to catch my breath
Can you tell i'm watching
Can you feel this beating in my chest
It's for you babe
Don't know why I took so long to tell you
Welcome to my heart yay yeah
I was tryna fill and empty space
Looking for someone who could take this pain away

And still somehow i'd end up feeling lonely
And then I met you
Then I met you

I was running, running
Looking for somebody
But I always end up with nothing, nothing
Just a matter of time
And I know my prince was coming, coming
And now I know I found you
Cause you had me at hello, hello, hello

And the stars must come alive
From my lucky chance at love
If you let you out this moment
This must be the right time now
Looking in your eyes I say
Welcome to my heart ooh

I was running, running
Looking for somebody
But I always end up with nothing, nothing
Just a matter of time
And I know my prince was coming, coming
And now I know I found you
Cause you had me at hello, hello, hello

Hello my love
I'm so glad I met you
Hello my love
I won't forget you
Hello my love




My love my love
Hello hello hello
