Out Of My Head
Lupe Fiasco Feat. Trey Songz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't get you out of my head
My head my head (naw)
Girl I want you to know
I don't even know what you did
You did you did
But I love it
Uh uh
Everything hooks
Everything works, you're a real good course
I'm a real good verse, freestyle unrehearsed
So clean no curse
And when the song's gone man everything hurts
So I put it in reverse
Go back to the scene where I seen you first
Yeah, I need you to sing that single again
Play that video I seen you up in
A hundred million spins in my mind all day
Call in and request on the line always
Yeah, the president of your fan club
Leave them players all behind like a bad love
Girl I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head
My head my head (I can't get you out now)
Girl I want you to know
I don't even know what you did
You did you did
But I love it (Wait)
Playa need a minute
Like a time out in tennis 'for I finish
How'd I get in this
Maybe 'was your hair, maybe 'was your flair
Maybe it's the heels and the way you wear
Maybe it's your real and the way you care
You don't care if I'm ill or a millionaire
The only thing that matters that the feeling's there
Your smile is so bright it's like a grills in there
High off life, don't need a pill in there (nah)
You're killing me, I think I need a will in here
Got me feeling real skills impaired
Hard to describe why you're still in here
Girl I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head
My head my head
Girl I want you to know
I don't even know what you did
You did you did
But I love it (but I love it)
Don't care what nobody say
'Cause I like it girl
Might go crazy try'na figure this out love (but I like it girl)
Don't even know why I feel this way
Cause I like it girl
Caught up in something that I can't get out of (but we like it girl)
Girl I want you to know
I can't get you out of my head (I can't get you out no)
My head my head (said I can't get you out no)
Girl I want you to know
I don't even know what you did
You did you did (you did you did you did)
But I love it
Girl I want you to know (I want you to know)
I can't get you out of my head (Lupe)
My head my head (Trey)
I want you to know (yeah)
Girl I want you to know (oh oh oh)
I don't even know what you did (just making sure)
You did you did (I don't even know)
But I love it
(Lupe)
I can't get you out of my head (Trey)
My head
In the song Out of My Head, Lupe Fiasco expresses his infatuation with a girl he can't stop thinking about. He admits that he doesn't even know what she did to make him feel this way, but he just loves it. He describes how everything about her, from her appearance to her personality, just hooks him in. He compares their relationship to a verse and chorus in a song, with her being the catchy chorus and him being the more complex verse. He also mentions how her smile and positive energy brighten up his day and how he can't help but think about her all the time.
The lyrics of the song express the concept of infatuation and how it can take over someone's thoughts and feelings. Lupe Fiasco's use of music metaphors highlights the idea that his feelings for this girl feel like a perfect song that he can't help but play on repeat in his head. The fact that he doesn't know what she did to make him feel this way suggests that this infatuation might not be based on anything real, but rather a projection of his own desires onto her. The overall message of the song is that sometimes we can get lost in our own thoughts and feelings, even when we don't fully understand them.
