Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How'd I believe that you changed?
I wanted too much so I said I could take it
But I couldn't handle the strain
Tryna be who you want me to be, yeah
Tryna make it okay
Tryna look at myself in the mirror
I couldn't go on that way
It's gonna take a miracle this time
To make me change my mind
I'm alone and doing fine
So I leave it all behind
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
A love unconditional, love with no limits
A love that let's me be myself
A love made forever, with no competition
There's nothing and nobody else
It's gonna take a miracle this time
To make me change my mind
I'm alone and doing fine
So I leave it all behind
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
And there's nothing left to say
(Nothing to say, nothing to say)
Going back was my mistake
(Going back was my mistake)
And there can be no more next time
(There's no next time)
You're not my love
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
If you think I want you, not a little bit
If you think I need you, not a little bit
I finally moved on I'm over it
If you think I need you, not
Think I need you, not
In K. Michelle's song "Not A Little Bit," she questions her own judgment for believing that her past love would change despite her knowing better. The lyrics "How'd I believe that this time would be different? How'd I believe that you changed?" shows her disbelief in her past lover's promises. The singer acknowledges that she tried to make things work, tried to be the person her lover wanted her to be, but couldn't handle the emotional distress that came with it. She even tried to convince herself that everything was fine by looking at herself in the mirror, but ultimately she couldn't continue down that path.
The lyrics, "It's gonna take a miracle this time, to make me change my mind. I'm alone and doing fine, so I leave it all behind" show that the singer has moved on from her past relationship and is doing better on her own. She has reached a point where she no longer needs or wants her former lover, even though it may have once been an unconditional love. The repetition of "If you think I want you, not a little bit. If you think I need you, not a little bit" emphasizes the certainty in the singer's decision to move on.
Overall, "Not A Little Bit" is an anthem for those who have left toxic relationships and have found the strength to move on. It's a reminder to believe in oneself and to trust in one's own judgment, even when it's difficult.
