used to love u
Legend John Lyrics

Holla holla haaa
Repetition of a phrase indicating excitement or anticipation

Maybe it's me, maybe I bore you
Possibility that the singer is to blame for the relationship problems

Oh no, it's my fault 'cause I can't afford you
Acceptance of responsibility for not being able to provide a certain lifestyle

Maybe, baby. Puffy, Jay-Z. Would all be better for you
Suggesting that someone with more money and fame would be a better fit for the person they are singing about

'Cause all I could do was love you
Acknowledgment that they tried their best in the relationship despite the circumstances

Baby when I used to love you (there's nothin' that I wouldn't do)
Recollection of how much effort they put into the relationship in the past

I went through the fire for you (anything you asked me to)
Expressing their willingness to do anything for their partner

But I'm tired of living this lie
Admission that they are not happy in the relationship

It's getting harder to justify
Difficulty in rationalizing why they are still in the relationship

I realize that I just don't love you. Not like I used to.
Confession of falling out of love with their partner

Now maybe I should rob somebody. So we could live like Whitney and Bobby.
Sarcastic suggestion that resorting to criminal activity is the only way to obtain the lifestyle their partner wants

It's probably my fault, my bad, my loss. But you are the cause.
Taking some responsibility for the relationship's failure, but also indicating that their partner contributed to it

Do you remember (I used to) when I used (love you) to (used to) love you (love you)?
Questioning if their partner still remembers the good times in their relationship

Baby no, not anymore (I don't love you). (Used to love you) I love you.
Clarifying that they no longer have romantic feelings for their partner

And you're gonna miss me now
Prediction that the partner will miss them in the future

But I'm not gonna play the fool
Decision to no longer tolerate being treated badly or taken for granted

And I can't make you my wife, I don't love you
Refusal to commit or marry someone they no longer have feelings for

Oh I used to love you (used to love you). Oh but I don't love you (I don't love you)
Reiteration of falling out of love with their partner

I bet you miss me 'cause I
Claiming that they know their partner still has feelings for them

I bet you're miss me now 'cause I, I don't love you
Confirmation that their decision to end the relationship was the right one
