Wanna Go
L.a.r Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invite you into my home
I'm Caesar, this is my Rome
What's up
Said I'd take you out to the Falls
Take you out to the malls
Wherever the 716 calls
I guess I'm a fool in love
Reel me in with your charm
What's up
Look me into my eyes
Pull me in with your lines
Never could call you out on your lies
Then you came over with friends
I guess that was a hint
That this was the beginning of the end
You're a mess and don't leave my bed
Attention, I do not get
Poisoned from being led on
Guess I was a fool in love
Emphasis on the fool
You were never that cool, nah
So I'mma let you do you
Got better shit to do
Officially over you, yah

Yeah, said come to my place alone
I asked you to come over by yourself
Invite you into my home
I welcomed you into my personal space
I'm Caesar, this is my Rome
I see myself as the ruler in this situation
What's up
Just checking in
Said I'd take you out to the Falls
I promised to take you to a specific location
Take you out to the malls
I planned to take you shopping at the mall
Wherever the 716 calls
Wherever the local area code leads us
I guess I'm a fool in love
I made irrational decisions because of my feelings for you
Hooked me onto your drug
You captivated me with your allure
Reel me in with your charm
You used your charisma to draw me closer to you
Look me into my eyes
Gaze directly into my eyes
Pull me in with your lines
You enticed me with your words
Never could call you out on your lies
I was unable to confront you about your deceit
Then you came over with friends
You showed up at my place with other people
I guess that was a hint
It signaled a change in our relationship
That this was the beginning of the end
It marked the start of our downfall
You're a mess and don't leave my bed
You're emotionally unstable and always stay with me
Attention, I do not get
I feel neglected by you
Poisoned from being led on
Hurt from being strung along by you
Guess I was a fool in love
I realize now I was foolish for falling for you
Emphasis on the fool
Highlighting my foolishness
You were never that cool, nah
You were never as great as you seemed
So I'mma let you do you
I'm going to allow you to be yourself
Got better shit to do
I have more important things to focus on
Officially over you, yah
I am now completely done with you
