Yo
MKTO feat. Ne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One of my best girls went and got a boo all of a sudden
Damn, and I can't even do nothin'
What I'm s'posed to do, tell her don't be happy?
So that I can keep comin' around
How messed up would that be?
So I'm chillin'
But I must admit, I'm kind of mad
Ain't every day you find one like that
Beautiful body with a brain to match
Make a fella start feeling attached
No filter fine, body, soul and mind
Any man can't see that, he must be blind
I'm Ray Charles with mine
So I missed the train
The only thing left to say is

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, baby I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Single and happy, that's where I'm at
And she wasn't ever approving of that
She wanted me to give her more
But I told her though, ain't long ago
A relationship, I wasn't lookin' for
In and out of town and always on the road
But when I hit that city I called her though
And that's wrong, so wrong
She waited for me to come around so long, so long
And now that wifey material is wifey material
And if you ain't ready, the wife gotta let it go
I wasn't, he was though
So

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Congratulations
Said it kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, baby I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

I can't, give up, what I don't got
So I got to let him, have her, like it or not
Like she deserves

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
But congratulations, baby I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Congratulations
Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were




But congratulations, I won't hate
I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved

Line by Line Meaning

One of my best girls went and got a boo all of a sudden
One of my close female friends suddenly got into a relationship


Damn, and I can't even do nothin'
I feel frustrated and helpless about the situation


What I'm s'posed to do, tell her don't be happy?
Should I really ask her to not be happy with her new love?


So that I can keep comin' around
Maybe I'm just selfishly thinking about my own convenience


How messed up would that be?
It would be really unfair to her and her boyfriend


So I'm chillin'
I am trying to calm my feelings and accept the situation


But I must admit, I'm kind of mad
But deep down, I am still upset about losing her as a potential partner


Ain't every day you find one like that
It's rare to meet someone as perfect as her


Beautiful body with a brain to match
She has both physical attractiveness and intellectual capabilities


Make a fella start feeling attached
Spending time with her has made me develop feelings for her


No filter fine, body, soul and mind
She is an amazing person, inside and out


Any man can't see that, he must be blind
Any man who cannot see her worth must be blind


I'm Ray Charles with mine
I can relate to Ray Charles who was blind, when it comes to not seeing the potential of what we could have had


So I missed the train
I missed my chance to be with her


The only thing left to say is Congratulations
The only thing left to do is congratulate her on finding a good partner


Kinda sucks that we can't be what we were
It's a bit sad that we can't go back to being close friends without any romantic complications


But congratulations, baby I won't hate
But nevertheless, I am happy for you and won't hold any negative feelings


I'm glad you found a man that treats you like you deserved
I am genuinely happy that she found someone who treats her well


Single and happy, that's where I'm at
I am content with being single and focusing on myself


And she wasn't ever approving of that
She wanted me to be in a relationship, although I didn't


She wanted me to give her more
She wanted more commitment and attention from me than I was willing to give


But I told her though, ain't long ago
I told her not so long ago that I wasn't looking for a relationship


A relationship, I wasn't lookin' for
I had made it clear that I wasn't interested in being in a relationship


In and out of town and always on the road
My busy schedule also made it hard to maintain a romantic relationship


But when I hit that city I called her though
But when I was in the same city as her, I would try to spend time with her


And that's wrong, so wrong
However, I realize that this behavior was not okay and could have led her on


She waited for me to come around so long, so long
She may have had feelings for me and waited a long time for me to reciprocate those feelings, but it never happened


And now that wifey material is wifey material
Now that she has found someone who is willing to commit and treat her like a wife, it's clear that she deserved more than what I could offer her


And if you ain't ready, the wife gotta let it go
If I wasn't ready to commit and be the partner that she wanted, then it was time for her to move on


I wasn't, he was though
I wasn't ready to commit to her, but her new boyfriend was


So I can't give up what I don't got
I can't keep holding onto something that was never there to begin with


So I got to let him have her, like it or not
I have to accept that she is with someone else now, whether I like it or not


Like she deserves
And I am happy that she is finally with someone who can give her what she deserves

Never know, never know
Never know, never know
Never know, never know
Never know, never know
Sure he's got the money, but he's rude and he's so cold
Rude and he's cold, but she's with him though
She sat up straight and stuning but I'm broke as a bad joke
Broke as a bad joke, which makes me a no go
She's always talking bout
She lookin out for the right guy
But she just can't find
So baby in the mean time
She deal with this
The guy that's rich
But he might make her cry
A fellow like me get no try
And I just don't know why, don't know why
What she doesn't see
Is that I just might be
What she's lookin for
What she's lookin for
If you look in my heart
Girl and I'm on my knees
What you're lookin for
What you're lookin for
Could be me
What you're lookin for
Could be me
Never know, never know
Never know, never know
She could do better but the money is her drug
Money is her drug, she's only tough
Uh girl I may be borrowing people
But I'm wealthy in their love
Wealthy in their love, I got more than enough
But she wants nice cars and fancy things
Even though she may be suffering
And I'm gonna treat her like a queen
But can't afford the crown, though she turn me down
A million dollar home, don't feel the same when you know a low
I really wanna show her so much more than dough
But the girl won't put me on yea
What she doesn't see
Is that I just might be
What she's lookin for
What she's lookin for
If you look in my heart
Girl and I'm on my knees
What you're lookin for
What you're lookin for
Could be me
What you're lookin for
Could be me
What you're lookin for
Could be me
She keeps on searchin for the wrong man
With the iced out Cartier on hand
So mean but he look like Tarzan
Little bitch but he act real hard man
And she don't know
I got a heart made of gold
And the diamonds in my eyes are the size of the globe
Grade A, not a average Joe
But you never know, never know
And when you're finally scared and alone
I could be the one to answer the phone
Boss up like a CEO
On half, MKTO
So baby when you're done lookin for the top
I'mma be everywhere that he's not
I got everything and more than he's got
It could be me, give me a shot
What she doesn't see
Is that I just might be
What she's lookin for
What she's lookin for
If you look in my heart
Girl and I'm on my knees
What you're lookin for
What you're lookin for
Could be me
What you're lookin for
Could be me
What you're lookin for
Could be me
