Say My Name
Jody Breeze Feat. Keri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another round she drinks it down.
Say you want this night to last.
Her friends are going home, she hears you're wanting her to stay
She let's 'em go, and now you know this night is gonna go your way.
She says,
"If it's what you want it's what you'll get and I won't fight it.
You don't have to lie, I know this game.
I have played.
In the morning you won't remember my name."
Her parents never home for long,
She found other ways, she'd make 'em look, that's all it took
Then she'd disappear for days.
Now she sees right through them, they don't really have to try.
She just can't stop,
He gets on top, as she tries to believe his lies.
She says,
"If it's what you want, it's what you'll get and I won't fight it.
But hurry up and make it quick before I cry.
You don't have to lie, I know this game.
I have played.
In the morning you won't remember my name."
They start to blend.
He said he'd call.
She never hears from them again.
She can't say no.
She's got this hole that she's been filling up with them.
Why can't I stop?
Why won't he stay?
I didn't love him, anyway.
In the morning, you won't remember my name.
What's my name?
The song "Say My Name" by Jody Breeze feat. Keri tells a story of a woman who is used to playing games with men but is aware of the reality that in the morning, they will not remember her name. The first verse starts with the man admiring the woman's beauty and her drinking another round while he tries to make the night last. Her friends leave, and she decides to stay behind with the man, knowing that the night would end in a tryst. She says, "If it's what you want, it's what you'll get, and I won't fight it. But hurry up and make it quick before I cry. You don't have to lie; I know this game. I have played. In the morning, you won't remember my name."
In the second verse, the woman's background is briefly explained. Her parents were never around, which made her look for attention elsewhere. She says she can see through the men she's with now and knows they are lying to her. But she can't stop herself from being intimate with them, filling up the hole inside her with them for temporary satisfaction. She can't say no, and she wonders why the men she's been with never stay. In the end, she knows that once the morning comes, they won't even remember her name, and she wonders if she even knows her own name anymore.
