Deserve Me
Kali Uchis Summer Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna forget your face and put these thoughts to rest
Can I move on? Gotta get this off my chest
Wanna feel light as a feather, just wanna feel okay, is that okay?
Back on the road
You just had to make it harder than it already was
Always gotta take you farther till you're at your worse
Why you so petty? Now you're bitter and it shows (eh-eh)
I like it better when you're gone
I feel a little less alone
You know I never needed you
Didn't deserve me
You don't deserve me
You see the world through tired eyes
Deep down you gotta know you're wrong
You know I never needed you
Didn't deserve me, oh
You don't deserve me, no
(You don't deserve me, no)
You don't deserve the love I give you
Make me wanna take the pussy back (back)
You don't even know how to act (act)
I don't deserve the shit you put me through (ooh-ooh)
Like you don't know that you're lucky
Make a cute nigga feel ugly
Like I got time for callin' you (callin')
Like, "what you doin'?" (What you doin'?)
Watchin' you (watchin' you) like how you movin', ah
But I think I just might fuck you one last time to be sure (sure)
If you walk through that door
Don't come creeping through my window
I know that you kept your key
Yeah, yo fui la que siempre te di de todo
Y pa' ti eso nunca fue suficiente
Now my love ain't what it used to be
You just don't get it or maybe you just got used to me
Do you know how many motherfuckers want this pussy exclusively?
You ain't the only one tryna be the only one
Wise up, man, 'cause you're lookin' real dumb
I like it better when you're gone
I feel a little less alone
You know I never needed you
Didn't deserve me (no)
You don't deserve me (no)
You see the world through tired eyes
Deep down you gotta know you're wrong (ay-ay)
Deep down I always should've known (ay-ay)
You don't deserve me (no)
Didn't deserve me (no)
You don't deserve me, no
You know it, you're so manipulative
I need you to know that you're so manipulative
You know it, first you're bitter, then you're sweet
You think you're so discreet
I see what you did there, what you doin' to me
You played yourself the saddest violin
I bet you thought I didn't see it comin'
You had me hangin' on a string
I let it go, let it go, let it go, now can you let go of me?
Let go of me, let go of me, let go of me, let go of me
Let go of me, let go of me, let go of me, let go of me
The song "Deserve Me" by Kali Uchis and Summer Walker is about letting go of someone who didn't deserve the singer's love and moving on from a toxic relationship. The lyrics are about the singer finally stopping to call and trying to forget their ex's face, wanting to feel light as a feather and just feel okay with being without them. The singer feels a little less alone now that they're gone and knows that they never needed them because the love they gave was not appreciated or deserved.

Finally stopped calling
I have stopped trying to contact you
Tryna forget your face and put these thoughts to rest
Trying to get you out of my mind and move on
Can I move on? Gotta get this off my chest
Wanting to vocalize my feelings to move forward
Wanna feel light as a feather, just wanna feel okay, is that okay?
Desiring a sense of emotional weightlessness and stability
Back on the road
Resuming my life and travels
You just had to make it harder than it already was
You always have to add to the difficulty of situations
Always gotta take you farther till you're at your worse
Pushing me further and further until I reach my limit
Why you so petty? Now you're bitter and it shows (eh-eh)
Asking why you are acting childish and now your negative emotions are evident
Yeah, it shows
Your bitterness is quite obvious
I like it better when you're gone
I prefer being without you
I feel a little less alone
I am not as lonely without you around
You know I never needed you
I did not require your presence in my life
Didn't deserve me
You were not worthy of me
You see the world through tired eyes
Your perception of the world is jaded and exhausted
Deep down you gotta know you're wrong
You must realize that you have made mistakes
You don't deserve me
You are not deserving of my affection
You don't deserve the love I give you
You are unworthy of the love that I offer you
Make me wanna take the pussy back (back)
You make me want to retract my intimacy from you
You don't even know how to act (act)
You do not know how to behave appropriately
I don't deserve the shit you put me through (ooh-ooh)
I do not deserve the negative treatment you have forced upon me
Like you don't know that you're lucky
You do not seem to recognize your fortune
Make a cute nigga feel ugly
You manage to make even attractive people feel unwanted
Like I got time for callin' you (callin')
I do not have time to continuously contact you
Like, "what you doin'?" (What you doin'?)
Asking what your current activity is
Watchin' you (watchin' you) like how you movin', ah
Observing your every move
But I think I just might fuck you one last time to be sure (sure)
Considering having intimacy with you again to confirm my feelings
If you walk through that door
If you enter back into my life
Don't come creeping through my window
Do not try to sneak back into my life
I know that you kept your key
I am aware that you still have your access to my life
Yeah, yo fui la que siempre te di de todo
I was the one who always gave you everything
Y pa' ti eso nunca fue suficiente
And yet that was never enough for you
Now my love ain't what it used to be
My affection for you has diminished over time
You just don't get it or maybe you just got used to me
You either do not understand or are simply accustomed to me
Do you know how many motherfuckers want this pussy exclusively?
Do you realize how many people desire to be with me exclusively?
You ain't the only one tryna be the only one
You are not the only person attempting to be my only partner
Wise up, man, 'cause you're lookin' real dumb
Become aware of the truth, because you appear foolish
You know it, you're so manipulative
You are conscious of it, you are very manipulative
I need you to know that you're so manipulative
I need to make you aware of your own manipulative tendencies
You know it, first you're bitter, then you're sweet
You understand that you are often changing your attitude
You think you're so discreet
You believe you are very subtle
I see what you did there, what you doin' to me
I have noticed your actions and how they affect me
You played yourself the saddest violin
You have created a tragic story for yourself
I bet you thought I didn't see it comin'
You probably assumed I did not expect this outcome
You had me hangin' on a string
You had control over me
I let it go, let it go, let it go, now can you let go of me?
I have moved on, now can you do the same?
Let go of me, let go of me, let go of me, let go of me
Release me from your hold

@baberkhan6619
This deserves airplay. The tempo is addictive with Summer Walker entrance being perfect. The bass that kicks in at 0:40 is 🤯
@Eyecandy1
Literally! 😅when i heard it on 6-22-24, i kept re-playing it 6-23-24. 😮💨🔥🔥🤌🏽
@dvmi4n609
