Maybe I Should Call
K. Michelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even when you're here, you're not with me
She's having the child I should've carried
I'll be damned if y'all get married
How's the baby? How you adjusting?
Ain't gon work, you got problems trusting
Let me stop, I'm supposed to be focused
But these nights are the coldest
Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
Maybe that's why I ain't got a man
'Cause I be doing too much thinking
Tryna compensate for your absence
But no drug can take me where you can
No I just want you where I am
1,000 of them, just want one him
Drowning in all of my excuses
Heart is feeling useless
Probably should've used it less
Will you ever let her go? I don't know
Will I ever be first? I hope
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
Damn I can't compete with a baby
Is there any room left in your heart for me
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
After the last time we talked
Oh, I was a mess
You had me stressed
Oh no no no no no
I wrote the text, I didn't send it
Dialed your number, but said forget it
Oh, what would it change
She's still in the way
But I
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Maybe I should call,
Maybe I should call
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
But I never call
Maybe that's my flaw
The song "Maybe I Should Call" by K. Michelle portrays the deep love and longing of someone who is still passionate about their ex-lover even after a substantial amount of time has passed. The song explores heartbreak, unrequited love, and the confusion that ensues when someone still holds on to hope for a relationship that they know may not happen. The lyrics showcase the singer's struggle to grapple with her feelings and call her ex-lover after a long time. The singer is caught in the torment of whether or not to reach out to her ex-boyfriend, who is the father of the child she wished to have carried. She feels an immense love for her ex-lover and, as a result, is unable to move on.
The first few lines of the song highlight the distance and emotional disconnect in the relationship, even when the singer's ex-lover is physically present. The song touches on the pain of knowing her ex-lover has moved on and will marry the mother of his child. However, even in the face of this heartbreak, the singer cannot help but think about her ex-lover, wanting to know how he is doing and if he still cares for her.
The chorus repeats "I love him" and "Maybe I should call" several times, highlighting the conflict between the singer's feelings and logic. The singer is aware that reaching out to her ex-lover might not yield a positive outcome but is torn because of her intense and profound feelings for him. The lyrics paint the picture of someone who is not afraid to love deeply and with raw emotion, but it seems that this has created a hole that cannot be filled, no matter how hard she tries.
Line by Line Meaning
Long distance in the way of what could be
Distance is preventing our relationship from reaching its full potential
Even when you're here, you're not with me
Our physical closeness doesn't mean we're emotionally close
She's having the child I should've carried
I wish that I was the mother of your child instead of her
I'll be damned if y'all get married
I don't want you to marry her
How's the baby? How you adjusting?
I'm asking about your child and how you're adjusting to fatherhood
Ain't gon work, you got problems trusting
Our relationship won't work because you have trust issues
Let me stop, I'm supposed to be focused
I need to stop talking about us and focus on other things
But these nights are the coldest
I feel lonely and cold without you
Will you ever let her go? I don't know
I'm unsure if you'll ever leave her
Will I ever be first? I hope
I hope that one day I'll be your main priority
But I ain't just sitting around, can't wait for someone to sing my worth
I'm not waiting around for someone else to value me
Damn I can't compete with a baby
I can't compete with your child for your attention and love
Is there any room left in your heart for me
I want to know if you still have feelings for me
Maybe that's why I ain't got a man
My obsession with you is preventing me from finding someone else
'Cause I be doing too much thinking
I overthink things and get in my own way
Tryna compensate for your absence
I'm trying to fill the void you left in my life
But no drug can take me where you can
Nothing else can give me the same feeling as being with you
No I just want you where I am
I want you to be with me
1,000 of them, just want one him
There are many men interested in me, but I only want you
Drowning in all of my excuses
I'm overwhelmed by all of the excuses I make for why we can't be together
Heart is feeling useless
My heart feels worthless without you
Probably should've used it less
I should've been more careful with my heart
After the last time we talked
Referring to the most recent time we spoke
Oh, I was a mess
I was emotionally unstable
You had me stressed
You were the cause of my stress
Oh no no no no no
An exclamation of distress
I wrote the text, I didn't send it
I composed a text message but didn't send it
Dialed your number, but said forget it
I called your phone but hung up before it rang
Oh, what would it change
What difference would it make?
She's still in the way
She's still a barrier to our relationship
But I
However, I still have feelings for you
I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him
Repeating my love for you multiple times
Maybe I should call,
I'm considering calling you
But I never call
I haven't actually called you
Maybe that's my flaw
My inability to take action and call you is a flaw in myself

Blazinn Beautyy
I feel her pain 😞😞😞 My ex basically left me 6 months ago for somebody else & she was pregnant 2 months later. He even made me feel like we had another chance before I found out she was pregnant. I was still deeply in love with him too... Worst heartbreak ever 💔 I got over it. I'm doing a lot better now & I'm beyond happy right now 💜
