Attitude
Loyiso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's situated in my heart
I see you knocking, but you can't come in
You're full of mistakes, you make my heart break
And all those times, you said you were on your way
And made me wait, all night and day
I'm getting tired of these silly games
You need to give more, or else you're out the door
Out with your attitude, out with you telling me 'I love you'
If you don't come around, soon, I'll be telling you 'I hate you'
See I love those hanging by your friends
That seems to break if you don't end
All those things that you keep on bringing up
Like it's all my fault that we don't make up
If you think I am stupid, I don't see your lies
Your tears don't show me, from your eyes
I'm getting ready, packing all your bags
You need to give more, or else you're out the door
Repeat Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh
I hate to see you crying
I've been complaining
Repeat I've been complaining
Out with your attitude, (out with your attitude), out with you telling me 'I love you' (you said you loved me)
If you don't come around, (if you don't come around) soon, I'll be telling you 'I hate you' (I hate you)

The lyrics also highlight the partner's habit of blaming Loyiso for the problems in the relationship, and the lack of truthfulness from their part.
