Give It Up
Kaylee Ameri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Had about enough)
(It's not hard to see)
(The boy is mine)
(I'm sorry that you)
(Seem to be confused)
(He belongs to me)
(The boy is mine)
When shit bad baby, would you hold it down
I don't want nobody else around
She say that you hers, I don't even worry
I'm a one of one, you lose if you hurt me

I don't want no lovin' baby if it's not from you
I just keep on craving how you taste and what it do
Sticky situation, but I keep it moving
Lucky, that you found me

I miss your face, your lips
Your tongue, your kiss
The way we made love
I miss the way you feel
The way it hit
The way we take it up

I miss your time and your patience
But why this girl keep on saying
I'm just another, you keep playing
Oh, yeah

You know I'm thinkin' 'bout the last time, how you felt under my skin
How you taste and remiscinin', touchin' 'till the end
I love what you brought up to the table, let's dig in
But if you lose me, I can't stay, she could have her way

(You need to give it up)
(Had about enough)
(It's not hard to see)
(The boy is mine)
(I'm sorry that you)
(Seem to be confused)
(He belongs to me)
(The boy is mine)

I'm a fiend, I'll admit it
When you call me back, baby I answer, I get it
I don't want nobody if it ain't you
Please don't take my heart and say it ain't true, ain't true

You a villain (Villain)
Baby, I feel like I'm in my feelings (Feelings)
If you love another, then I'm through that
Because I can't have somebody go and do that, do that

And when I say what I mean
Do what I mean
I be loving you so clean
But you keep runnin' ya mouth
Figure it out
How much do you see in me
You know I need you bad
And I could tell you get that
'Cause you can't lose me

You know I'm thinkin' bout the last time, how you felt under my skin
How you taste and remiscinin', touchin' 'till the end
I love what you brought up to the table, let's dig in
But if you lose me, I can't stay, she could have her way

(You need to give it up)
(Had about enough)




(It's not hard to see)
(The boy is-)

Overall Meaning

The song "Give It Up" by Kaylee Ameri is about a love triangle and the singer's assertion that the other woman can't have her man. The repeated refrain of "The boy is mine" is an assertion of ownership over the man in question. The lyrics reveal the singer's deep connection to this man - she misses his kisses, the way they make love, and the way he feels - and her desire to keep him for herself. She recognizes that the situation is complicated ("Sticky situation, but I keep it moving") but wants to keep moving forward with him ("You know I'm thinkin' 'bout the last time, how you felt under my skin"). The other woman is depicted as confused and wrong ("I'm sorry that you/Seem to be confused").


The underlying message of the song is one of female empowerment and taking ownership of one's feelings and desires. The singer is not content to let another woman come between her and the man she loves, and she makes her claim to him loudly and clearly. The song features a mix of vulnerability and strength, as the singer expresses her deep longing for her man while also asserting her dominance over the other woman.
