On Me
Kofi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't no two ways around it
You're someone that I used to know
Like to say that we're done for good this time
But who's to know?
I can't see myself with no one different

When I found myself, I lost you
And when you found yourself, I lost you once again
I loved you from a distance
Now you're somebody different, yeah, yeah

I watched you change up
And I put that on me (I put that on me)
Put that on me (put that on me)
I should have stayed down
And not left you lonely (and not left you lonely)
Now I'm lonely (now I'm lonely)

Catching a vibe with you (catching a vibe with you)
Wasting my time on you (my time)
Please tell me the deal, I'll keep it real
I still got my eyes on you (my eyes)
I don't know what else I can do
So I wrote a song just to tell you I miss you

But, girl, you run like Ricky, you run, run
East Legon to LA to London
Won't take time, won't wait up for no one
Your whole vibe is liquor I'm drunk on
Mind so deep, got layers like onions
And your body's d-d-d-dumb dumb (yeah, yeah)
So insane, I don't like to play no games
Girl, you gotta come my way

I watched you change up
And I put that on me (I put that on me)
Put that on me (put that on me)
I should have stayed down
And not left you lonely (and not left you lonely)
Now I'm lonely (now I'm lonely)

And, baby
I know you like to be alone sometimes
But can you please pick up the phone one time?
I'm trynna call you
I'm like twelve shots deep and
This JD got the best of me tonight

I don't need to be near you
I just wanna hear your voice
Or have you already made the choice
To shut me out your life and change on me?

I watched you change up
And I put that on me (I put that on me)
Put that on me (put that on me)
I should have stayed down
And not left you lonely (and not left you lonely)
Now I'm lonely (now I'm lonely)

I watched you change up
And I put that on me (I put that on me)
Put that on me (put that on me)
I should have stayed down
And not left you lonely (and not left you lonely)
Now I'm lonely (now I'm lonely)

(I watched you change up)
(And I put that on me, I put that on me)
(Put that on me, put that on me)
(I should have stayed down)




(And not left you lonely, and not left you lonely)
(Now I'm lonely, now I'm lonely)

Overall Meaning

In Kofi's song "On Me," the lyrics tell a story of a past relationship that has gone through changes and struggles. The singer acknowledges that they and their partner have grown apart and have become different people as a result. While they still have love for each other, the distance between them is clear, and the singer reflects on the missed opportunities to stay together and not leave their partner feeling lonely.


The chorus emphasizes the sense of responsibility the singer feels for the changes in the relationship. They take ownership of their part in the breakup, putting the blame on themselves for not staying committed and for leaving their partner alone. The loneliness they feel is a consequence of these actions and choices.


The second verse depicts the singer's desire to reconnect with their partner. They express the longing for a conversation, wanting to hear their voice even if they don't physically need to be near each other. However, they also acknowledge that their partner might have already made the decision to move on and shut them out.


Overall, "On Me" explores the complexities of a failed relationship, admitting fault, longing for reconciliation, and coming to terms with the loneliness that follows.


Line by Line Meaning

Ain't no two ways around it
There is no denying or avoiding the truth


You're someone that I used to know
You are a person from my past


Like to say that we're done for good this time
I want to believe that our relationship is truly over now


But who's to know?
However, there is uncertainty about that


I can't see myself with no one different
I cannot imagine being with anyone other than you


When I found myself, I lost you
As I discovered my true self, I ended up losing you


And when you found yourself, I lost you once again
And when you discovered who you truly are, I lost you again


I loved you from a distance
I had deep feelings for you, but kept my emotions at a distance


Now you're somebody different, yeah, yeah
Now you have changed into a completely different person


I watched you change up
I observed how you transformed


And I put that on me (I put that on me)
And I take responsibility for that change


Put that on me (put that on me)
Place the blame on me


I should have stayed down
I should have remained loyal and devoted


And not left you lonely (and not left you lonely)
Instead of abandoning you and leaving you alone


Now I'm lonely (now I'm lonely)
Now I feel isolated and alone


Catching a vibe with you (catching a vibe with you)
Feeling a strong connection and energy with you


Wasting my time on you (my time)
Spending my precious time on you


Please tell me the deal, I'll keep it real
Please be honest with me, I promise to be truthful as well


I still got my eyes on you (my eyes)
I still have my attention focused on you


I don't know what else I can do
I am unsure of any other actions I can take


So I wrote a song just to tell you I miss you
Hence, I composed this song solely to express how much I miss you


But, girl, you run like Ricky, you run, run
However, you flee and avoid commitment like Ricky


East Legon to LA to London
Traveling from East Legon to Los Angeles to London


Won't take time, won't wait up for no one
You refuse to take your time and patiently wait for anyone


Your whole vibe is liquor I'm drunk on
Your entire presence intoxicates me like alcohol


Mind so deep, got layers like onions
Your mind is profound and complex, just like onions have layers


And your body's d-d-d-dumb dumb (yeah, yeah)
And your body is irresistible and enticing


So insane, I don't like to play no games
So incredibly attractive, I avoid playing games in relationships


Girl, you gotta come my way
Girl, you need to come towards me and be with me


And, baby
And, my dear


I know you like to be alone sometimes
I understand that you enjoy solitude occasionally


But can you please pick up the phone one time?
However, could you please answer the phone once?


I'm trynna call you
I am desperately trying to contact you


I'm like twelve shots deep and
I am heavily intoxicated with alcohol


This JD got the best of me tonight
This Jack Daniel's whiskey has overwhelmed me tonight


I don't need to be near you
Being in close proximity to you is not what I need


I just wanna hear your voice
I simply wish to hear the sound of your voice


Or have you already made the choice
Or have you already decided


To shut me out your life and change on me?
To exclude me from your life and transform in a way that doesn't involve me?
