Here She Comes
Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sorry baby - didn't mean to do this to you
Sorry baby - didn't mean to do this to you
After a long night of lusting
Shorty came home while I was crushing
I'm about to get busted
I'm rushing
And I'm about to get thrown in the cold
Cause she be on some left-eye shit
Might set my house on fire-take a brick to my whip
Oh no!
I want to hit it some more
But I think I heard my girl put her keys in the door
Can I hide under the bed(you can't go there)
In the closet(you can't go there)
On the balcony(but you can't, she'll look)
There's a hide-away behind the bush
Oh no here she comes
Shorty bounce my girl is on her way upstairs
I know here she comes
You need to get your shit and get up out of here
Oh no here she comes
You're about to get a man straight caught out there
Oh no here she comes
Ooohh noo!
I know she's gonna trip
If she finds you here messing with her man
Better disappear
Think I got a plan
Get you outta here
Shhh!
You should jump out the window
I gotta come yp with an excuse
The reason why I had a girl up in this room
She won't believe me though
Cause we been through the same situation before
The lyrics to the song "Here She Comes" by Joe depicts a man who is about to be caught cheating on his partner. The song portrays a sense of guilt as the man apologizes to his partner for not intending to hurt her. The first two lines of the chorus "Sorry baby - didn't mean to do this to you" emphasize the regretful state of the man. The lyrics go on to describe a scenario where the man is about to be thrown out of his house or taken to jail because he has been spotted with another woman by his partner. The lyrics in the song sort of narrate the situation from the man’s point of view, with him pondering about the best place to hide - under the bed, in the closet or on the balcony. He even considers jumping out of the window to avoid getting caught. The song urges the man to think fast and leave before he is caught.
The song's hook suggests that the man has been caught cheating before and that his partner is unlikely to believe any excuse he makes for the new situation. He is on the brink of getting caught, and he knows it. By using the phrase "shorty," the artist suggests that the man's encounter with the other woman was just a moment of weakness, the woman does not mean anything to him. Also, the way he addresses his partner as "baby" suggests that he still loves her and knows deep down that cheating on her is wrong, hence the remorse.
