Lover Lover
Jerrod Niemann Lyrics

Well the truth,
The upcoming statement is something he knows is true, but is difficult for him to say

Well it hurts to say,
The truth is painful for the singer to admit

I'm gonna pack up my bags
The singer is leaving and moving on from the situation

And I'm gonna go away
He is physically leaving the location and the relationship

I'm gonna split
He is leaving the relationship

I can't stand it
The current situation has become unbearable for the singer

I'm gonna give it up and quit
He is ending the relationship and giving up on trying to make it work

Ain't never comin' back
The singer has no intention of returning to the relationship once he leaves

Girl but before I get to go and I got to say
The singer has something he needs to say before he leaves

I know you used to love me
The singer acknowledges that the other person once loved him

But that was yesterday
The love is no longer present

And the truth I won't fight it
He knows the truth of the situation and will not try to deny it

When the love starts burnin' you got to do what's right
When a relationship is no longer working, it is best to end it and move on

Whoa lover, lover, lover,
The singer is addressing the person he was in a relationship with

You don't treat me no good no more
The singer feels he is no longer being treated well by the other person

Well the truth,
The same painful truth is repeated once again

Yeah it hurts to say,
This truth is still difficult for the singer to admit

There was a time oh woman
The singer is reminiscing about a past time when things were different

When you used to shake it for me
The other person used to show love and affection in a physical way

Now all you do is just treat me cold
The other person's behavior towards the singer has changed and is now distant and unaffectionate

Ain't gonna take it no more
The singer has reached his breaking point and can no longer tolerate the other person's behavior

Gonna walk out the door
He is leaving the relationship

Yeah, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of frustration or determination

Well I wait up for you almost every night
The singer is still trying to make things work, but the other person is not reciprocating

And I'm hurtin' so bad cause you don't treat me right
The other person's behavior towards the singer is causing him emotional pain

Oh woman oh woman you know I love you so but
The singer still loves the other person but recognizes that the relationship is not working

You're so mean to me baby I'm walkin' out the door
He has decided to end the relationship because of the other person's mistreatment of him

Lover oh lover
He is once again addressing the person he was in a relationship with

No good no more, more, more
The other person's behavior towards the singer has become intolerable and he can no longer continue the relationship

I know you used to love me in every way,
The other person used to be deeply in love with the singer

But now I'm givin' it up
The singer has decided to let go of the past and move on

And I'm tired of cryin' babe
The relationship has caused the singer emotional pain and he is ready to move on

I can't stand it no longer
The situation has become unbearable for the singer

It hurts me to say,
The truth of the situation is still painful for him to admit

But I'm packin' up my bags and goin' far away
The singer is leaving the location and the relationship and starting fresh

Lover, lover, lover,
The singer is addressing the other person one final time

You don't treat me no good no more
The singer is no longer willing to tolerate the other person's mistreatment of him

Lover, lover, lover,
A repeat of the previous line

You don't treat me no good no more
Reiterated that the singer is no longer willing to endure the other person's mistreatment of him

Lover, lover, lover,
Final repetition of the same line

You don't treat me no good no more
Final statement that the singer has decided to end the relationship due to the other person's mistreatment of him
