Saturday
Lil' Mo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said you had to leave
Come Saturday, you gon' be with me
Said you had things you had to do
Now it's Monday
I ain't seen or heard from you
How much more time you need?
I'll let it marinate, gettin' worried
Now it's Wednesday

It's in your face
Ooh baby, I believed you when you said

[Chorus:]
Said you would love me for "always"
But "always" ended Saturday
How could you look me in my face
Know you were needin' her in the first place

Ooh, I tried to reach out and touch you
But it wouldn't go through
I even drove by your apartment
Saw the for sale sign
You upped and moved away
Could at least called me
I caught onto you, y'all was over
Now y'all are closer
Than y'all ever were
Swore to me
I believed you when you said

[Chorus]

You took a piece of me
When you walked away
Last Saturday, ooh
I really thought you'd be the one
That would change my mind
Oh, it ain't the same

But I didn't see a thing
That would even make me think
That you were really down for me
Boy, you ain't love me
You ain't love me

[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning

You said you had to leave
You told me you had to go somewhere

Come Saturday, you gon' be with me
You promised me that you will be with me on Saturday

Said you had things you had to do
You told me that you had some important things to do

Now it's Monday
It is already Monday today

I ain't seen or heard from you
I haven't heard from you or seen you anywhere

How much more time you need?
I am curious about how much more time you need

I'll let it marinate, gettin' worried
I am getting worried but I will let it be

Now it's Wednesday
Today is already Wednesday

It's in your face
It is very obvious from your behavior

Ooh baby, I believed you when you said
I trusted you when you made those promises

Said you would love me for "always"
You said you would love me forever

But "always" ended Saturday
You ended our love forever on Saturday

How could you look me in my face
I cannot comprehend how you can face me after breaking your promise

Know you were needin' her in the first place
I know now that you needed her all along

Ooh, I tried to reach out and touch you
I attempted to talk to you but you are ignoring me

But it wouldn't go through
I could not get in touch with you

I even drove by your apartment
I went to your place

Saw the for sale sign
I saw that your apartment was up for sale

You upped and moved away
You left and went away suddenly

Could at least called me
You should have called me

I caught onto you, y'all was over
I realized that our relationship was over

Now y'all are closer
Now you are closer to her

Than y'all ever were
You are closer to her than you have ever been to me

Swore to me
You promised me

You took a piece of me
You hurt me deeply

When you walked away
When you left me

Last Saturday, ooh
It was last Saturday

I really thought you'd be the one
I believed that you were the right person for me

That would change my mind
You made me think differently

Oh, it ain't the same
Things are different now

But I didn't see a thing
I didn't see any warning signs

That would even make me think
That would even raise my suspicion

That you were really down for me
That you were really committed to me

Boy, you ain't love me
You didn't truly love me

You ain't love me
You didn't love me, and I know that now

Said you would love me for "always"
You promised me that you would love me forever

But "always" ended Saturday
But that love ended last Saturday

How could you look me in my face
How can you even face me now

Know you were needin' her in the first place
When all along you were in love with someone else
