Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh
Now baby I been thinking
Bout how you been acting strange
And baby I been thinking
How so many things have changed
Said I remember how you used to love
How you used to love, you don't love no more
How you used to care, you don't care no more
That's alright, that's OK
Drop the key on your way
Catch a bus, ride the train
It doesn't matter just keep going
Now boy I can remember how I used to foot the bill
And yes I do regret the day I took your broke ass in
To my life, to my home, to my bed
Said that I must have lost my head
I guess you thought
That I'd let you walk on me like the floor
I guess you thought
That you'd keep tracking dirt inside my door
You got it all wrong
It's been too long
All of the love is gone
Now I'm singing you this song
How you used to love, you don't love no more
How you used to care, you don't care no more
That's alright, that's OK
Drop the key on your way
Grab a bus, ride the train
It doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
How you used to care, you don't care no more
That's alright, that's OK
Drop the keys on your way
Grab a bus, ride the train
It doesn't matter just keep going
You must have thought
That you were getting over for so long
But I was giving you the chance
To make things right from being so wrong
But your time is up, took too long,
I don't want to hear it
Get your shirt, shoes, pants
And draws up from outta here
Oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh ooh whoa
Woo woo oh
Like you used to love, you don't love no more
How you used to care, you don't care no more
That's alright, that's OK
Drop the keys on your way
Grab a bus, ride the train
It doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
How you used to care, you don't care no more
That's alright, that's OK
Drop the keys on your way
Grab a bus, ride the train
It doesn't matter just keep going
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
The song "Used To Love" by KeKe Wyatt is a powerful ballad that explores the end of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics of the song express the singer's disappointment and frustration with her partner's behavior, as she reminisces about the way things used to be. The chorus repeats the phrases "How you used to love, you don't love no more" and "How you used to care, you don't care no more", which serve as a reminder of the way things have changed.
The first verse of the song focuses on the changes in the singer's life, as she reflects on the way her partner has been acting strange. She remembers how things used to be, and how her partner used to love and care for her. However, now that love and care are missing, and the relationship has become empty and unfulfilling. The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's own regrets, as she remembers how she used to take care of her partner, even though he was broke. She realizes that she must have lost her head to have put up with that kind of treatment.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's acceptance of the situation, and her decision to move on. She tells her partner to drop the keys and leave, no matter how he chooses to do so. She encourages him to "catch a bus, ride the train", and keep going, because she no longer cares. The final verse is a triumphant declaration of independence, as the singer tells her partner that his time is up, and she doesn't want to hear his excuses anymore. She orders him to gather his things and leave, because she is done with him.
Overall, "Used To Love" is a powerful song about the end of a relationship, and the way that people can grow apart over time. Through its strong lyrics and emotional melody, the song captures the sense of loss and regret that comes with the end of a relationship, while also celebrating the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
