Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you walk in like it's nothing
Hold up, hold up, hold up
Ain't donuts ain't no coffee
See ya, know ya see me calling and calling
I should crack ya right in ya forehead
Let me take a breathe (let me take a breathe)
Told you one more time (told you one more time)
If you f'd up it's over
When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
(So just scoo do do doo, scoo do do doo baby)
It's a wrap for you baby (it's a wrap)
It's a wrap for you boy (it's a wrap)
Oh baby
If I ever misrepresented my self-image
Then I'm sorry
I was oh so acquiescent
But I learn my lesson
Boy you're sorry (boy you're sorry)
Buh buh buh buh
All out in the open
Don't make me go call Maury Povich
Let me take a breathe (let me take a breathe)
And regain my composure
Told you one more time (told you one more time)
If you f'd up it's over
When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
(So just scoo do do doo, scoo do do doo baby)
It's a wrap for you baby (it's a wrap)
It's a wrap for you boy (it's a wrap)
Oh baby
Put all of your shit in the elevator
It's going down like a denominator
Trying to keep holding on, holding on
Boy let me go
You go wake my neighbors, get away from my door
That was your last shot you ain't coming back
It's the martini I mean it baby
It's wrap
When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong (you dead wrong)
(So just scoo do do doo, scoo do do doo baby)
Boy I ain't playing a game.
It's wrap, I told you, I told you
If you f'd up one more time it's over (it's wrap)
So get out of my face it's over
Been sitting here all night leave me alone
Since one o'clock A.M. been drinking patron
Let the credits role, it's a wrap
The lyrics of Mariah Carey's song "It's A Wrap" tell the story of a woman who has had enough of her partner's disrespect and lies. The first verse starts by describing yet another early morning when the partner walks in like nothing happened, despite the fact that the woman has been trying to call him. She tells him that she should "crack him right in his forehead" and then takes a deep breath to regain her composure. She warns him that if he messes up again, it's over.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's a wrap for you, baby" twice, emphasizing that the relationship is ending. The woman has had enough of being disrespected and lied to and is ready to move on. The second verse continues in a similar manner, with the woman apologizing if she ever misrepresented herself and then making it clear that it's over for her partner.
The bridge features the woman telling her partner to put all of his stuff in the elevator and leave. She's done with him and wants him out of her life. She tells him that he's had his last chance and that she means it when she says that "it's a wrap."
