Ohio
King Princess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think about me when you're going home?
'Cause I've been getting rich, but everything I love is broke
So what's good? Is it me or is it you?
And are you getting what you need?
Is it hard to roll a J without me laying by your knees?
'Cause I've been getting paid, but my best girl ain't next to me
So what's good? Is it me or is it you?
'Cause when I think about it, oh, you're all I wanna do
So what's good? Is it me or is it you?
Call here and I'll show you what I like about it
I don't know what's best for me, babe
But come here and I'll show what you like about it
I don't know where you'll be, babe
Come here and I'll show you what I like about it
Oh
So is it me or is it you?
So is it me or is it you, baby? Oh
So is it me or is it you? Oh
Call here and I'll show you what I like about it
Oh
Well, is it me or is it you?
So is it me or is it you, baby?
Is it me or is it you, babe? Oh
That was good one
King Princess's Ohio is a song that is about a long-distance relationship, where the singer is reflecting on the state of her relationship with her partner, who resides in Ohio. The chorus of the song "So what's good? Is it me or is it you?" sets up the central theme of the song, which is about uncertainty and questioning the state of the relationship. The first verse portrays the singer's frustration about her personal life, where she has gotten rich but has lost everything she loved. She is seeking to connect with her partner by wondering if he thinks about her when he's going home. The second verse reflects on the singer's dependence on her partner and wonders if he can roll a joint without her being there beside him. She reveals that although she has been getting paid, her best girl is not next to her, indicating that her relationship with her partner is the most significant thing in her life.
The bridge of the song, "Call here, and I'll show you what I like about it," suggests that the singer is willing to make an effort to maintain the relationship, despite the distance between them. The song's conclusion brings back the central theme of the song, with King Princess asking, "Is it me or is it you?" She is questioning the state of the relationship, and whether her partner is as invested in their relationship as she is.

For gay people? What you talking about? Ever heard of Freddie Mercury? More to the point, why reduce King Princess to her sexuality? I think she is just plain amazing in all regards.
