Can't Get Over You
Joji ft. Clams Casino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get over you
And before I die I'll pray that
I could be the one
That I could be the one
But I won't be no fun
If I can't have you, no one can
Can you show me
To the nightlife?
Baby I like, all colors like
But I want you, and I don't know right (don't know right)
Tell me more, I got a box cutter with your name on it
Tell me more, I can't stay this long on the same topic
Don't know you, but would I fall in love with you?
I don't have no social cues
I'm all for you
Ayy
I can't get over you (yeah, ooh-ooh)
Can't get over you
And before I die I'll pray (yup)
That I could be the one
That I could be the one
But I won't be no fun
If I can't have you, no one can
The lyrics to Joji ft. Clams Casino's song "CAN'T GET OVER YOU" express a deep longing for somebody that the singer cannot seem to shake off. They start by repeating the phrase "I can't get over you" multiple times, emphasizing the intensity of their feelings. They then reveal their ultimate desire: to be the one for the person they are thinking of. However, they are aware that this might never happen, as they sing "But I won't be no fun, if I can't have you, no one can." This line is both desperate and possessive, reflecting the singer's internal conflict between wanting to be loved and wanting to be the only one that their love interest pays attention to.
In the second verse, the singer talks about their desire to be shown the nightlife and to be in the spotlight with the person they like. They also mention their willingness to embrace all colors, yet express their focus on the one they truly want. The following lines reveal a sense of desperation, as the singer asks for more information about the person. They mention having a box cutter with the person's name on it, which can be interpreted in different ways. It could either reflect an unsavory desire to harm the person, or a desperate need to hold on to something that reminds them of the individual.
Overall, the lyrics to "CAN'T GET OVER YOU" express a strong sense of longing and desperation that characterizes unrequited love. The singer's desire to be loved and possessive tendencies reflect the anxiety and uncertainty that often come with unreciprocated feelings.

@@clawzx1195 how do I have a massive ego. I literally said that a lot of people may care about my opinion such as a lot of people may care about Isaiah's. If I had a massive ego, I would have said that nobody cares about his/her opinion and that they only care about mine. Plus, saying I'm selfish doesn't make sense. How am I? Since you seem to not understand what the words ego and selfish mean, I'll put the definition down here for you:
/ˈēɡō/
noun
a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.
"a boost to my ego"
synonyms: self-esteem, self-importance, self-worth, self-respect, self-conceit, self-image, self-confidence; amour propre
"he needed a boost to his ego"
self·ishDictionary result for selfish
/ˈselfiSH/Submit
adjective
(of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.
"I joined them for selfish reasons"
