Jorja Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what I did this time
Why is it I work so hard for you
I wish I could read your mind
I don't know if you want me to come over
I don't know if you want me to come over
Don't wanna ask, really I should know better
I don't know if you want me to come over
(Hot body gyal, gyal ah whine up pon mi)
I don't know if you want me to come over
Don't wanna ask, really I should know better
I don't know if you want me to come over
(Hot body gyal, gyal ah whine up pon mi)

This is something that I'm used to
I give too much but I choose to and you love that
Yeah, you love that
I don't know what you have been through
But I've worked too hard not to lose you and you know that
Yeah, you know that

(Hot body gyal, gyal ah whine up pon mi)
(Mi a call fi you gyal, but you nah answer mi)
(Hot body gyal, gyal ah whine up pon mi)
(Mi a call fi you gyal, but you nah answer mi)

Wish I knew what's on your mind
Then I wouldn't think it's something I've done
If you gave more of your time
Yeah, we both might just get what we want
Are you too scared to love me

Tell me what I did this time
Why is it I work so hard for you
I wish I could read your mind
I don't know if you want me to come over
I don't know if you want me to come over

I don't know if you want me to come over
Don't wanna ask (trouble) really I should know better
I don't know if you want me to come over
(Hot body gyal, gyal ah whine up pon mi)

You should, you would know
Marry you like Bruno Mars
Late night FaceTime call
Can't work at the studio
It's been a while mi see you whine
It's been a while you smile
You getting pretty

Ah you pretty from you juvenile
Whine up your body gyal
You fit you can go a couple mile
You have a bad attitude
Sometime you act recoil

Overall Meaning

Jorja Smith's song "Come Over" delves deep into the uncertainty that comes with a relationship where one partner is unable to read the other's mind. The lyricist talks about how they are never sure whether they should make a move or not - this creates a sort of anxiety in the relationship. The lyrics plead with the other partner to give them a sign whether they should come over or not. The chorus keeps repeating the same line "I don't know if you want me to come over", emphasizing the confusion and helplessness of not knowing how the other partner feels.


The second verse talks about how the lyricist is willing to give too much to make the relationship work, while the other partner's intentions are unclear. The lyrics imply that the other partner loves that they are willing to do so much for them, which makes the confusion of not knowing their intentions even harder to handle. The final verse has a hopeful tone, saying that if the other partner invested a little more time, they could both get what they want. The lyrics end with a repetition of the previous lines, emphasizing the ongoing state of uncertainty.

She has one of the best and unique voice in music industry today.

Me

LEGITTTT. IT'S ORIGINALLLL AND THE WAY SHE USES HER VOCALS IS UNIQUE. LIKE THE WAY SHE MAKES IT HIGH AND LOW. IF YOU GET ME. I DON'T KNOW💩TBH...IS IT CALLED VOCAL RANGE? 😂 BUT IT MAKES THE LYRICS SHE'S SIGNING MORE EFFECTIVE AND HIT THAT MUCH HARDER. SHE'S SO GOOD AT THAT.

It's frustrating that people only focus on her physical appearance, she's so much more than just a pretty face. This is a strong, talented, kind and selfless woman... I frankly can't fathom how she deals with all the pressure

Funky Sound

aa nobody is naive enough to think that her looks have nothing to do with her success, Jorja herself knows all about "pretty privilege" but she's far from your average pop act and she still growing as an artist

T Jemilua

I feel like she’s talked about mainly for her face and body and that’s by majority men who only like to focus on her physical appearance. But when talking numbers, she has 8.6 million monthly listeners (Spotify), and that’s because she has an amazing voice and makes great melancholic music, the majority of people (her many fans) really like that. Just my thoughts

Reno.Rodolfo

She talk much about her body, it's just normal
