Want You
Lil Wayne Ft. 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 of Lil Wayne ft. Lloyd's "Want You Back" narrate a woman's realization that she wants her ex-boyfriend back after seeing him with another woman. The woman initially thought that she needed to upgrade from her ex-boyfriend because he lacked game. So, she ended things and walked away. However, after seeing her ex-boyfriend with another woman, she regrets it and wants him back. She remembers all the things that she and her ex-boyfriend did first, but now he does them with the new woman. The woman feels jealous and tries to convince herself that the new woman has nothing on her, but she secretly believes that her ex-boyfriend will come crawling back.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I want you back" and emphasizes that the woman wants her ex-boyfriend back, no matter what he says or does. She broke things off, thinking that he would be crying, but now she sees him flying (metaphorically), which suggests that he has moved on and is happy with the new woman. However, the woman still feels possessive of her ex-boyfriend, and her jealousy makes her want him back even more.
The song's verses provide a vivid picture of the woman's feelings and her struggle with jealousy and regret. She is willing to overlook her ex-boyfriend's flaws and ignore the fact that he is now with someone else. The woman wants him back, and nothing will change her mind. Overall, "Want You Back" is a heartfelt song that explores the complexities of romantic relationships and the human emotions that go along with them.
