Jhené Aiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please say you'll be mine out there
And I will give you everything
Man, you are really something else
You caught me at an awful time
See I just lost my smile
And that is what you helped me find
Hadn't seen it in a while
Came to save the day and I must say
I think you may have done some more
God damn you
Stay on my mind like all the time
So every night I end up at your door
Hope that's cool
Cause I'm really not trying to
Impose but I suppose that
I'm supposed to be here
With you
With eyes are sad, I smile, I think you'll find
You need me just like I need you, yeah
But it's cool
We ain't gotta be nothing
It's true
I'd actually prefer it, yeah
It's on you, it's on you, it's on you
It's on you, it's on you, it's on you
It's on you, it's on you, it's on you
It's on you, cause I'm cool
And I'm not even gonna front
At first I was just tryna fuck
But you have got me so in love
So deep in love, so please be love
And I'm not even gonna lie
I wouldn't mind if we just lie
Together till the end of time
If that is fine with you, it's fine with me
Definitely love
Definitive love
Infinite love, yeah
I've been wrong before
But this time I am for sure
It's you
Something you did made me feel it deep in my core
And it's cool
Think that we're up to something
But it's on you, it's on you, it's on you
It's on you, it's on you, it's on you
It's on you, it's on you, it's on you
It's on you, cause I'm cool with nothing, yeah
Cause even nothing is something
In Jhené Aiko's song "It's Cool," she sings about finding solace in a new love interest. The person she is addressing is her escape from everything, someone who she can rely on to help her find her smile again. Despite her own sadness, she is willing to give this person everything she has because they mean so much to her. The singer acknowledges that this love interest caught her at a difficult time, but they've since helped her find happiness she had been missing. She confesses that she thinks about this person all the time and often ends up at their door.
She then reassures this person that they don't have to be anything specific to her, not a lover or even a friend, as long as they continue to be present in her life. She smiles when she thinks of them, even when she's feeling sad. The singer then admits that when she met this person, she was only interested in physical intimacy. But now, she's fallen deeply in love with them and wants nothing more than to be with them. She hopes they feel the same way, but even if they don't, she's content just being in their presence.
Overall, "It's Cool" is a bittersweet love song that acknowledges that love can be complicated and messy. It highlights the journey of falling in love and cherishing the feeling, regardless of whether it is reciprocated or not.
