Out Of My Head
Lupe Fiasco Lyrics

Girl I want you to know (whoo)
The singer wants to express something to the girl he is singing about.

I can't get you out of my head
The girl is constantly on the singer's mind.

My head my head (naw)
The singer is emphasizing how much the girl is occupying his thoughts.

I don't even know what you did
The singer is unsure of the specific actions the girl took that caused him to feel this way about her.

You did you did
The singer acknowledges that the girl did something to make him feel this way, even if he doesn't know what it is.

But I love it
Despite not knowing the reason for his infatuation, the singer still loves the way the girl makes him feel.

Everything hooks
The elements of the song (e.g. melody, lyrics) are all coming together perfectly.

Everything works, you're a real good course
The girl is like a perfectly crafted course in a game, and the singer is flowing seamlessly with her.

I'm a real good verse, freestyle unrehearsed
The singer is confident in his ability to keep up with the girl, without needing any preparation or planning beforehand.

So clean no curse
The song (and the singer's thoughts about the girl) are pure and uncontaminated by any negativity or profanity.

And when the song's gone man everything hurts
When the song (or thoughts of the girl) disappear, the singer is left feeling empty and longing for them to come back.

So I put it in reverse
The singer wants to go back to the beginning where he first encountered the girl.

Go back to the scene where I seen you first
The singer wants to go back to the location where he first saw the girl.

Yeah, I need you to sing that single again
The singer wants to relive the moment where he first heard the girl's voice or encountered her in a musical setting.

Play that video I seen you up in
The singer wants to watch a video where he saw the girl previously, to remember the moment fondly.

A hundred million spins in my mind all day
The singer can't stop replaying scenes or thoughts of the girl in his head.

Call in and request on the line always
The singer wants to constantly hear the girl's music and have it be a part of his life.

Yeah, the president of your fan club
The singer is a dedicated fan of the girl, to the point where he feels like he leads her group of followers.

Leave them players all behind like a bad love
The singer is willing to leave behind any other romantic interests or potential suitors in order to be with the girl he is singing about.

Playa need a minute
The singer needs a moment to collect his thoughts and emotions before proceeding with the song.

Like a time out in tennis 'for I finish
The singer is likening his pause to a time out in tennis, where players take a break to regroup before continuing the game.

Maybe 'was your hair, maybe 'was your flair
The singer is speculating on the reasons why he is so attracted to the girl, ranging from her physical appearance to her personality.

Maybe it's the heels and the way you wear
The singer is specifically calling out the girl's fashion choices as a potential reason for his attraction.

Maybe it's your real and the way you care
The singer appreciates the girl's authenticity and the way she treats him.

You don't care if I'm ill or a millionaire
The girl is not swayed by the singer's status or wealth, making their connection feel more genuine and real.

The only thing that matters that the feeling's there
Despite all their differences, the most important thing for the singer and the girl is the emotional connection they share.

Your smile is so bright it's like a grills in there
The girl's smile is so radiant and dazzling that the image of grills (diamond-encrusted dental accessories) comes to mind.

High off life, don't need a pill in there (nah)
The singer feels euphoric and content just being around the girl, without needing any artificial substances to enhance his mood.

You're killing me, I think I need a will in here
The strength of the singer's feelings for the girl is overwhelming and potentially life-threatening (in a figurative sense), making him consider his own mortality.

Got me feeling real skills impaired
The singer is so distracted and consumed by thoughts of the girl that he feels like his abilities and skills are suffering as a result.

Hard to describe why you're still in here
Despite analyzing his feelings for the girl, the singer still can't put into words why she is so present and important in his mind and heart.

Don't care what nobody say
The singer is not influenced by other people's opinions on his relationship with the girl.

'Cause I like it girl
The singer is happy and fulfilled with his feelings for the girl, regardless of any obstacles or criticisms they may encounter.

Might go crazy try'na figure this out love (but I like it girl)
The singer acknowledges that his feelings for the girl are complex and hard to comprehend, but ultimately they bring him happiness and fulfillment.

Don't even know why I feel this way
Despite analyzing his emotions, the singer is still unsure of the root cause of his infatuation with the girl.

Caught up in something that I can't get out of
The strength of the singer's feelings for the girl are so intense that he feels trapped, unable to escape or ignore them.

I want you to know (yeah)
The singer wants the girl to understand and appreciate the depth of his emotions for her.

You did you did (you did you did you did)
The singer acknowledges again that the girl must have done something to inspire his feelings for her, even if he can't pinpoint what it was.

But I love it
Despite not understanding the cause of his emotions, the singer still feels happy and fulfilled by his feelings for the girl.
