They don't make 'em like you, ayy (oh, yeah)
Nothin' like you, no (Woah)
They ain't built like you, no (ooh, yeah)
Tryna pull up on, pull up on ya
Know that I want, that I want ya
Put it on me, I put it on ya (put it on you)
Lookin' like a whole snack (ooh, yeah)
I can't wait I can't hold back (ooh, yeah)
Phone blowin' up back to back
Tell a nigga stop reachin' he can't have you back
Ooh, new coupe and it parked outside (outside)
You don't even wanna go out tonight
Say you got priorities
And lately you've been wantin' to see way more of me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Strawberry how it taste
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hell yeah, it's worth the wait, oh
Nothin' like you (nothin' like you)
They don't make 'em like you (ooh, yeah)
Ayy, nothin' like you, no (ooh, yeah)

Put it on me, I put it on ya (put it on ya)
Got a check on me, I spend it on ya
Wait, wait
Take your time, baby, don't rush it
Let's stop talkin' about the money
When we can be kissin' and fuckin'
I ain't worried 'bout your ex
You told me, "Baby, you the best"

The lyrics to Kaytranada's song YOU describe a complicated relationship between two people where one person wants more than the other is willing to give. The singer is aware of their partner's trouble and lack of commitment, yet they can't resist their physical attraction and intensity. The singer knows that their partner is not good for them, but they continue to pursue the relationship for the thrill, the rush, and the pain that comes with it. They acknowledge that they are walking a tightrope of love in their partner's circus. Despite this, the singer is willing to give their heart to the other person with the knowledge that their future together is uncertain.
The song's lyrics demonstrate the challenges of pursuing a relationship with someone who may not be the best fit for you. The singer's desire for the other person creates a tension between self-preservation and gratification. The song suggests that sometimes we make choices that are not in our best interest, but we accept the consequences of those choices for the experiences we gain.
Line by Line Meaning
I want you to want me
I desire that you have the same feeling of attraction towards me
But you just gonna love me for the day
However, you will only have a short-term affection towards me
And I can't just walk away
Despite this, I cannot easily distance myself from you
Even though I know you're trouble babe
Even with the knowledge that your involvement may be problematic
So I'mma take my time
Therefore, I will take my own pace in this relationship
Go with the flow, can't get too involved
I will maintain a casual attitude and avoid excessive attachment
You got a face that I
You have a striking appearance that
Just can't say no to
I find myself unable to reject
You know I want you baby
You already know that I am interested in you
I'll give you my heart and the rest is up to you
I am willing to give my affection to you and let you decide the next course of action
You ain't no good for me, I know it's true
I acknowledge that you may not be beneficial to me
But you don't have to be
Nevertheless, it does not necessarily have to be that way
Cause I do it for the thrill, for the rush
I am engaging in this relationship out of a sense of excitement and risk-taking
I do it for the pain, for your touch
Even though it may hurt, I stem pleasure from your touch
When I OD, when it's too much
If I go overboard and become overwhelmed
If I survive, baby you're the one
If I manage to recover, you will be the one who caused it and who I will depend on
I feel like I'm walking
I feel as if I am in a precarious situation
The tightrope of love in your circus babe
Navigating through an unpredictable situation like being in love with you is akin to balancing on a tightrope in a circus
If I were a fella it'd be my last day
If I was someone else, this would be the end of me
Even though you're right under me
Even though you are right next to me
You know I want you baby
You already know that I am interested in you
I'll give you my heart and the rest is up to you
I am willing to give my affection to you and let you decide the next course of action
You ain't no good for me, I know its true
I acknowledge that you may not be beneficial to me
But you don't have to be, cause I do it
However, that does not have to be the case because I am doing it
For the thrill, for the rush
Engaging in this relationship is stimulating and risky
I do it for the pain, for your touch
Even though it may hurt, experiencing your touch is pleasurable
When I OD, when it's too much
If I go overboard and become overwhelmed
If I survive, baby you're the one
If I manage to recover, you will be the one who caused it and who I will depend on
