Want You
Lil Wayne Feat. Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I needed to upgrade
So I went and walked away way way
Now, I see you've been hanging out
With that other girl in town
Looking like a pair of clowns clowns clowns
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Boy you can say anything you want
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Please, this ain't even jealousy
She ain't got a thing on me
Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
You clearly didn't think this through
If what I've been told is true
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Boy you can say anything you want
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh
Ooh, and you might be with her
But I still had you first uh oh uh oh
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
Boy you can say anything you want
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back, I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back, I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Oh, I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Oh, I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Does it sound like a helicopter?
The lyrics to Lil Wayne/Lloyd's song, "I Want You," are about a man who is trying to express his desire for a specific woman. The rap verse by Andre 3000 describes a situation where he is in line at a grocery store and sees a woman who catches his eye. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, he wishes he could kiss her. Lloyd's chorus explains that he wants to leave with the woman he desires and be honest with her about his intentions. He wants to be with her, even though he is known to be a player. Nas's verse is a plea to the woman to leave her current partner and be with him since he believes he will be a better lover than the man she is with.
The song's lyrics are expressing the desire for something that is possibly out of reach, but the characters in the song are still willing to try and see if they can have the person they want. The song also talks about how even those who are known to be players or have multiple partners can still have a significant connection with someone they genuinely care about.
Line by Line Meaning
I said, "what time you get off?"
Andre is asking the woman when she gets off work.
She said, "when you get me off"
The woman is implying that she will leave work when they are finished having sex.
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
Because I swallowed down the wrong pipe
Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in Paris
I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
We in the middle of whole foods, and those fools
Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think they hated tofu
Andre initially laughs at the woman's reply but quickly realizes what she means and chokes. He feels embarrassed that this conversation was happening in a Whole Foods store and not a romantic location like Paris.
The check-out line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing some circles like some audio emblem
I'm hearing them say, 'come on man
Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man'
The checkout line became chaotic, causing Andre's vision to be blurry and he hears people telling him to leave.
STOP, baby bring that thang back
You know where my heart at
Shorty show ya boy some love
Cause I'm about to lose it
With the way you move it
It's making me wanna get to it
Girl tell me what it do
Lloyd is telling the woman to stop so he can admire her body. He admits to being excited by her movements and wants to know what she is thinking.
I'm a player, yes it's true, but...
Lloyd recognizes that he has a reputation as a player but admits that he wants to change his ways for the right woman.
Can I be for real?
This is how I feel
I'm in need of love
So let's dip up out of here
Oooh, you just my type
Everything so right
And I just wanna chill
Let's dip up out of here
Lloyd is being honest with the woman and admits that he wants love and not just a fling. He wants to leave the current setting and spend time with her alone.
Ahh, ahh-ahh, ahhh-ahhhh...
She's fine too, but I want you...
Lloyd acknowledges that there are other women around, but he only wants to be with the woman he's currently talking to.
Admit it, I knoe you want me too

You got sum street love in my crew
Don't' cha?
You can bring ya girls
I'm ah bring my crew
We be bumping threw
Like OOOO
Lloyd believes that the woman is also attracted to him since he has seen her with other members of his crew. He invites her to bring her friends along and promises to bring his group of people, who are all enjoying the night together.
Wanna see what it do, oooh...
Let's dip up out of here...
Lloyd is eager to spend time with the woman alone and suggests leaving the current setting.
Yeah, Nas be in the crib low, strip poll in it
Cold guinness, bitter taste, slim waist, I'm gon hit it
We low-key baby, like a baritone
Apple computer, e-mail me to come scoop ya
Nas is at home, enjoying a drink, and is interested in the woman. He invites her to contact him by email to meet up together.
Run through ya, undo ya bra, gimme medulla, uh
Ya cute as a movie star, in sin city, hennessey, my love slave
Lovin is pimpin, no rest have, with none of 'em
I would leave every one of em, you just say it
Just leave it where it is, he ain't aware of sleeping dogs lie
But keep a sharp eye on him, cause I'm the wrong guy
To wanna put this four-five on em, let's get it on, ma
You got my nose wide open
You already locked down and rot down, but so delicious
If he get suspicious, bring up his old mistress
I ain't dry-snitchin, but why should you be feelin bad
Cause I be killin that, huh?
Nas is using sexually explicit language to describe his desires for the woman and feels like he would be the perfect partner for her. He warns her to be careful with him since he has a temper and is not afraid to use force. If her current partner becomes suspicious, she should mention his previous affairs instead and feel no guilt because he is irresistible.
