A Problem's a Problem
KamB.I.N.O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If someone demands that you put their happiness before yours
I can tell you right now they're not worth it ,not at ll
She looking pretty in that dress
She got a hickey on her neck it's not for me, its not from me
I smell the liquor on her breath
Said she was out with her friends she lied to me ,she lied to me
Oh she's a problem that much I know
I know she's hurting but she won't show
Don't try to solve her, that's not what she wants
Don't try to love her, she's here for fun
Don't tell her you want her, cause she'll take control
Don't try to solve her cause she's a problem
She'll rip the heart right out your chest and try to mend it with a kiss
And you'll still want her and you still want her
She'll have trouble on our own, you’ll invite her in your home
Because you love her, because you love her
I know it's hurtful you tried your best
You know you loved her she just didn’t
Oh she's a problem that much I know
I know she's hurting but she won't show
Don't try to solve her that's not what she wants
Don't try to love her she's here for fun
Don't tell her you want her, cause she'll take control
Don't try to solve her cause she's a problem
I know I love her but she don't care
I shouldn't want her why am I here
She's a problem that much I know
I can't solve her and that leaves me sore
Don't try to solve her that's not what she wants
Don't try to love her she's here for fun




Don't tell her you want her, cause she'll take control
Don't try to solve her cause she's a problem

Overall Meaning

In "A Problem's a Problem" by KamB.I.N.O., the song begins with a powerful piece of advice. If someone demands that you put their happiness before yours, they are not worth it at all. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which details the singer's experience with a woman who is a problem that he just can't seem to solve. The woman in question is described as looking pretty in her dress, but there's a hickey on her neck that's not from him. He can smell the liquor on her breath, and she lies about where she's been. Though he knows she is a problem, he can't help but be drawn to her.


The chorus of the song warns against trying to solve the woman or love her because that's not what she wants. She's here for fun, not a serious relationship. She'll take control if you try to tell her you want her, and if you try to solve her, you'll just end up disappointed. The song ends with the singer admitting that he loves her, even though she doesn't care about him. He knows that she's a problem, but he can't help but be drawn to her anyway.


Overall, "A Problem's a Problem" is a cautionary tale about getting involved with someone who is bad news. The song is about recognizing when someone isn't worth your time and energy and moving on. Even though the singer is drawn to the woman in question, he knows that he can't solve her problems or change her, and he ultimately chooses to walk away.
