The song has two samples: Samples Love Unlimited’s 1974 “I Belong to You.” Interpolates the piano from Aretha Franklin’s Ain’t No Way. Sample appears at 1:03
"This next song, this is about, basically, relationships. We’re dealing with relationships here. It’s like when you’ve waited all night long for somebody to come home and they finally come home, and it’s the morning and… you yourself are like, ‘Where is this MF'er?’ … I’m talking about a serious subject here. This is a serious situation that I’m talking about. This is from, well I told you the remix album is gonna be out and I’m singing this with Mary J. Blige and I’m really excited about it. But right now I’m gonna do it alone. It’s called ‘It’s A Wrap'."
Mariah on the Angels Advocate Tour on January 16th, 2010 at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in CT.
It's a Wrap
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet another early mornin'
And you walk in like it's nothing
Hold up, hold up, hold tight
Ain't no donuts, ain't no coffee
See I know you seen me calling and calling
I should crack you right in your forehead
Let me take a breath (let me take a breath)
And regain my composure
Told you one more time (told you one more time)
If you F'd up, it's over
'Cause when it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot, baby
It's a wrap for you, baby (scoo do do do do, scoo do do do do, baby)
(It's a wrap)
It's a wrap for you, boy (it's a wrap)
Oh, baby
(Ooh-wee-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-wee-ooh)
If I ever misrepresented
My self-image, then I'm sorry
I was oh so acquiescent (acquiescent)
But I've learned my lesson, boy, you're sorry (boy, you're sorry)
Bum-bum-bum-bum, out in the open
Don't make me go call Maury Povich
Let me take a breath (let me take a breath)
And regain my composure
Told you one more time (told you one more time)
If you F'd up it's over
'Cause when it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot, baby
It's a wrap for you, baby (scoo do do do do, scoo do do do do, baby)
(It's a wrap)
It's a wrap for you, boy (It's a wrap)
Oh, baby
Put all of your sh- in the elevator
It's goin' down like a denominator
Tryna keep holdin' on, holdin' on, boy, let me go
You gon' wake my neighbors, get away from my door
That was your last shot, you ain't comin' back
It's the Martini, I mean it, baby
It's a wrap
(It's a wrap)
When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong (you're dead wrong)
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot, baby
Boy, I ain't checkin' the gate
It's wrap, yeah, I told you, I told you (scoo do do do do, scoo do do do do, baby)
It's wrap, if you act up one more time, it's over
It's wrap, so get up out my face, I'm hungover (so just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot, baby)
Been sitting here all night, leave me alone (scoo do do do do, scoo do do do do, baby)
Since quarter to three I've been drinking Patron
Watch the credits roll, it's a wrap

Now for the Deluxe
Moving on to a higher standard.
Now Mariah, you know I love you
Although I heed criticism, I still have love for you.
I love you all my life
You're dear to me and have been for a long time.
But I wouldn't be a friend or even fan if I didn't Give you the real
As a true friend and supporter, I must be honest with you.
You been hangin' onto this dude Knowin' he doin' you dirty
You're tolerating a toxic, unfaithful relationship.
Why don't you just cut this guy loose?
Break it off with him.
You better than that
You deserve better treatment.
And you Mariah Carey, remember?
Remember who you are and what you stand for.
Yet another early mornin'
Another day, another disappointment.
And you walk in like it's nothing
Acting nonchalant despite your wrongdoings.
Hold up, hold up, hold tight
Wait a minute, let me collect myself.
Ain't no donuts, ain't no coffee
Don't try to distract me with trivial things.
See I know you seen me calling and calling
You're avoiding my attempts to reach you.
I should crack you right in your forehead
I'm frustrated and angry with you.
Let me take a breath (let me take a breath)
Give me a moment to calm down.
And regain my composure
Get back to a state of cool-headedness.
Told you one more time (told you one more time)
This is your final warning.
If you F'd up, it's over
If you mess up again, our relationship is done.
'Cause when it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
Once it's over, it's over for good.
You're dead wrong, so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
You're completely in the wrong here.
So just scoo do do doot, scoo do do doot, baby
Get out of my sight and leave me alone.
It's a wrap for you, baby
Our relationship is ending.
(It's a wrap)
It's done.
It's a wrap for you, boy (it's a wrap)
We're finished, and that's final.
Put all of your shit in the elevator
Gather all your belongings and leave.
It's goin' down like a denominator
It's over, completely.
Tryna keep holdin' on, holdin' on, boy, let me go
You're trying to hold on to something that's already gone.
You gon' wake my neighbors, get away from my door
Don't disturb me or my surroundings.
That was your last shot, you ain't comin' back
This was your final chance to make things right, and you failed.
It's the Martini, I mean it, baby
I'm being truthful and serious about this.
When it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
There's no going back.
Boy, I ain't playing a game
I'm not fooling around or playing with you.
It's wrap, I told you, I told you
It's done, I warned you beforehand.
If you act up one more time, it's over
One more mistake, and we're finished for good.
So get up out my face I'm hungover
Leave me alone, I don't want to deal with you.
Been sitting here all night, leave me alone
I've had enough of you and your behavior.
Since quarter to three I've been drinking Patron
I've been stressed out and drinking all night.
Let the credits roll, it's a wrap
This is the end and there's nothing more to be said or done.
