Marvin's Room
JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Adderall and red bull
This call is a mistake
There's something
Strong in this water bottle
He got a new chick but that's a little
Barbie doll
Life is so pathetic but you still haven't heard it all
F*** that new girl that you like so bad
She's not crazy like me I bet you like that
I Said F*** that new girl that's been in your bed
And when you're in her I know I'm in your head
I'm just saying you could do better
Always turned you out every time we were together
Once you had the best boy you can't do better
Baby I'm the best so you can't do better
Ohhhh (x3)
Ran into your home boys
They're all f***ing idiots
You're not even my boyfriend
But they're tripping cuz I'm in the club
Yeah that's right I'm dancing
And something cool is in my cup
I'm gonna send you a sexy picture
And remind you what you're giving up
F*** that new girl that you like so bad
She's not crazy like me I bet you like that
I Said F*** that new girl that's been in your bed
And when you're in her I know I'm in your head
I'm just saying you could do better
Always turned you out every time we were together
Once you had the best boy you can't do better
Baby I'm the best so you can't do better
The first verse of JoJo's song "Marvin's Room" depicts someone who has been up for three days, fueled by Adderall and Red Bull. Amidst this state, they call their ex-lover only to realize their mistake. They are under the influence of a strong substance in their water bottle, adding to the chaos. The person on the other end of the call has moved on with a new person, whom the singer refers to as a "Barbie doll." The singer expresses a sense of patheticness in their current state, confessing that their ex-lover hasn't heard the worst of it.
In the chorus, JoJo expresses her feelings of still being in love with her ex-boyfriend. She tells him that his new partner can't compare to her, despite not being "crazy" like JoJo. She wants him to remember what he's giving up by sending him a sexy picture. She reiterates that she is the best and that he cannot do better.
The song portrays a character who is struggling with moving on from a past relationship. They are under the influence of substances and unable to cope with their emotions, leading them to make questionable decisions. The lyrics express a sense of desperation and a refusal to let go of the past.
