Deserve Me
Kali Uchis Summer Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finally stopped calling
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)
Yeah, it shows

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

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

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 do not know how to behave appropriately


I don't deserve the shit you put me through (ooh-ooh)

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

Don't come creeping through my window
Do not try to sneak back into my life

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
