Wish i never
Kehlani Lyrics

Da-da, da-da, wish I never
The singer wishes that something she did never happened.

Yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
A filler line to add emphasis to the previous line.

I never let 'em win, 'less I say so
The singer maintains control and doesn't let others have the upper hand unless she allows it.

And I don't show my cards, but I play it though
The singer keeps her plans and feelings to herself but still follows through with them.

Then put 'em in my bag like my main clothes
The singer doesn't dwell on her past actions and moves forward with her life.

This time that's just not the case though
But this time she can't just forget about what she did.

I was lackin', I ain't proud of it
The singer admits to making a mistake and feels guilty about it.

I know I could've held it down for you
The singer acknowledges that she let down someone she cares about.

But you really came to show out (show out)
The person she let down made a big effort to impress her.

Before I knew it, I was top gun, shotgun
The singer got caught up in the moment and ended up being the one in control.

Got one with me
She's not alone and has someone by her side.

Never meant what I said to you, baby
The singer didn't really mean what she said to the person she let down.

Was in character, 4D animation
The singer was acting like someone she's not and not being true to herself.

You ain't never had this type of simulation
The person she let down has never experienced someone putting on a show like she did.

Had to take it back to playin' my favor
The singer is trying to make things right by returning to her usual self.

It's all love when I see you when your bitch smilin'
The singer still cares about the person she let down even though they're with someone else.

Put the gas on it, but I kept the mileage
The singer went all in but still held back a little.

Seen a bullet comin', but I didn't dodge it quick enough
The singer saw the consequences of her actions coming, but she didn't act fast enough to prevent them.

I wish I never did it
The singer wishes that she never made the mistake that caused all of this.

From the bathroom to the kitchen
The mistake happened in various places, from private to public spaces.

Wish I would've kept it pimpin'
The singer regrets not keeping it simple and casual.

Should've never took that mission
The singer shouldn't have pursued what she did.

Never got into your Lambo
The singer regrets getting involved with someone flashy and materialistic.

Like to shoot it up like Rambo
The person she let down is reckless and likes to show off.

Now you made me an example
The singer feels like others are using what happened to her as a warning to others.

Caught me slippin'
The singer got caught off guard and made a mistake.

I'm so over this, I wish I never
The singer is tired of dealing with the consequences of her actions and wishes she could take it all back.

Do you wonder why I love you?
The singer questions why she loves the person she let down.
