Want You
Lloyd ft. Hipnodik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, boy you never had much game
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?

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

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?

Overall Meaning

The song "Want You Back" by Lloyd ft. Hipnodik is about a man who broke up with his girlfriend thinking she would cry and beg him to come back but instead, she moved on and is now seeing someone else. The man is surprised and jealous, seeing the woman he once loved doing things that they used to do together with someone else. He wants her back, realizing that he still has feelings for her.

The lyrics of the chorus, "Remember all the things that you and I did first? And now you're doing them with her. You got me, got me like this. And now you're taking her to every restaurant" and the line "I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin', now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'" express the pain and jealousy that the man feels. He wants the woman back and acknowledges that no one else can have her.

The verse "Please, this ain't even jealousy. She ain't got a thing on me. Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans" suggests that the man doesn't feel threatened by the other woman and is confident that he is better than her. He criticizes the other woman's fashion sense and hints that he thinks the woman he wants back deserves someone better.

Line by Line Meaning

Hey, boy you never had much game
You weren't very smooth with the ladies

Thought I needed to upgrade
I thought I could do better than you

So I went and walked away way way
I left you, clear out of sight

Now, I see you've been hanging out
I've noticed you've been spending time

With that other girl in town
With some other woman around

Looking like a pair of clowns clowns clowns
You two look ridiculous

Remember all the things that you and I did first?
Remember all the things we experienced together?

And now you're doing them with her
And now you're repeating them with her

You got me, got me like this
You have me feeling this way

And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And now you're taking her to all the places we went to

And everywhere we went, come on!
To all the areas we've been, come on!

Boy you can say anything you want
You can tell me anything

I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I don't care what anybody else thinks, I still want you

Wa-want you, want you back
I want you back

I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
I ended it, thinking you'd be upset

Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
Now I regret it, seeing you successful

Please, this ain't even jealousy
This isn't even about being jealous

She ain't got a thing on me
She can't compare to me

Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
Wearing those unattractive jeans

You clearly didn't think this through
You obviously didn't think about this

If what I've been told is true
If what I've heard is accurate

You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
You'll be looking to reconcile with me eventually

Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
I believed you'd still be with me

When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh
When I said goodbye to you, feeling upset

And you might be with her
You might be with her now

But I still had you first uh oh uh oh
But I was the one who had you first, and that's significant

Oh, I want you back
I want you back
