Why You Always Here
Katy B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Free from walking next
And then there you appear
You touched upon my sleeve
Then you said follow me
But I sensed it weren't there
Can't enter golden times
You predict into my mind
I've seen your game depart
So try on her I'm bored of you
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
? I can't keep up
With your indecisive touch
It's too late to make up your mind
I left a while ago
Since then I'm much less cold
You chose her to keep you warm at night
Never asked for your attention
So why you think I owe you something?
I've seen your games before
So give them all to her
I'm bored of you
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
Is it because my life is better than hers
My kiss is sweeter than hers
My touch is softer than hers, oh
I bet you thought that you could have me instead of her
But you can give it all to her
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
Why you always here
Complaining in my ear
Saying I could give you so much more
Why do you persist
To possess my kiss
When she's the one your heart beats for
Heart beats for
She's the one your heart beats for
I could give you so
much more
But why are you always here complaining in my ear? That's the question that Katy B is posing in this song. The lyrics are about a guy who keeps coming back to her, despite having someone else in his life. Katy has moved on and is happy with her life, but this guy just won't let go. He keeps insisting that he wants more from her, even though he's already in a relationship. Katy is frustrated by this and is telling him to move on and give his attention to the one his heart truly beats for.
The first few lines of the verse describe Katy's mental state after finally feeling like she's moved on from this guy - she's found her sense and is feeling free. But then he appears, touching her sleeve and trying to lead her somewhere. She doesn't want to go with him because she knows he's not trustworthy and doesn't want to enter into any golden times with him. He predicts things and tries to make her think he knows what's best for her, but all she sees is his game and his indecisive touch. She left a while ago and wants nothing to do with him.
The chorus is the main message of the song repeated over and over - she's asking him why he's always here, complaining and wanting more from her when he's already with someone else. She tries to make him understand that his heart belongs to someone else and that he should leave her alone. The last few lines reveal that he thought he could have her instead of his current partner, but she won't have any of it.
Line by Line Meaning
Finally I found my sense
I have regained clarity and am no longer confused or uncertain
Free from walking next
I am no longer attached or in a relationship with someone
And then there you appear
You suddenly show up in my life
You touched upon my sleeve
You physically made contact with me in some way
Then you said follow me
You asked me to come with you or do something with you
But I sensed it weren't there
I had a feeling that what you were offering was not genuine or real
Can't enter golden times
I cannot go back to a time when things were better or more positive
You predict into my mind
You try to read or anticipate my thoughts or feelings
Throwin' away there easy as I do
You give up on people or things easily, just as I do
I've seen your game depart
I have observed your manipulative behavior disappear or become less effective
So try on her I'm bored of you
Now you can try your tricks on someone else because I am tired of dealing with you
Why you always here
Why do you keep showing up in my life?
Complaining in my ear
Constantly voicing your complaints to me
Saying I could give you so much more
Claiming that I could offer you a better life or relationship than what you currently have
Why do you persist
Why do you continue to pursue me or try to win me over?
To possess my kiss
To have a physical relationship with me
When she's the one your heart beats for
You really love someone else, not me
? I can't keep up
I can't handle your unpredictability or wavering decisions
With your indecisive touch
Your physical contact or advances are not straightforward or definite
It's too late to make up your mind
You have missed your chance to make a decision or choose a course of action
I left a while ago
I moved on from you or our relationship a long time ago
Since then I'm much less cold
I have become emotionally warmer or more open since leaving you
You chose her to keep you warm at night
You have chosen someone else to fulfill your physical and emotional needs
Never asked for your attention
I never wanted or requested your attention or affection
So why you think I owe you something?
Why do you feel entitled to my time, attention, or affection?
Is it because my life is better than hers
Do you think I have more to offer or a better lifestyle than the person you are with?
My kiss is sweeter than hers
Do you think that my physical affection or intimacy is better than the person you are with?
My touch is softer than hers, oh
Do you think that I offer a gentler or more loving touch than the person you are with?
I bet you thought that you could have me instead of her
I believe that you wanted a relationship with me instead of the person you are with
But you can give it all to her
You should direct all of your love, time, and attention to the person you are with
She's the one your heart beats for
You truly love and are dedicated to the person you are with
