What's Wrong
Jennifer Hudson T-Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got this feeling today
A feeling I ain't never felt before
And it came from you (And it came from me)
So that means you can make it go away make it go away
And I don't like
The way you've been hanging around with your face on the ground
What's the deal?
Can you make it go away? Make it go away

[Chorus]
What's wrong with my baby (what's wrong with my baby)
What's wrong with me? (what's wrong with me)
What's wrong with us (what's wrong with us)
What's wrong with we (what's wrong with we)
Cause every time we try to talk and turn this thing around
Tell me what's the deal and then I try to work it out
Is it you (you)
Is it me (me)
Is it us (us)
It is we (we)

This is so much pain.

Baby calm down

Believe it or not you got me feeling this way
And I never ever felt this way before
Didn't expect that from you
You tryin' to make me go away
And I don't like
The way we keep on fussing and fight about yesterday and last night
That's old news
We need to be strong
But you making me go away

[Chorus]

We've gone through so much pain

Now lets stop playing these games
If we gonna make it work lets just act our own age
Girl I'm hearing everything you saying but I don't wanna make you go away
I know I act like I don't care but I'm just tryin' play it cool
But if we keeping acting this way then it'll just make us both some fools
All the hurt and the lies and the pain
Make it go away make it go away





[Chorus]
