The Walls
Mario Featuring Fabolous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If they could see your face
They'd be talking and I know what they'd say
They'd say damn that girl is going crazy
Damn that girl she's amazing
Touching moaning never seen you like this baby
Never seen you this way
She don't act the same
When the lights go down
She don't act the same
She be screaming out loud
She don't act the same no no no
Man I thought I had her figured out
Cause in the day she's a lady
But now everything's changed
She don't act the same
If the walls were watching
If the walls were watching
If your friends could see you
If they could hear your screams
Would they recognise you
How shocked would they be
Oh damn!
Damn that girl she's amazing
Touching moaning never seen you like this baby
Never seen you this way
She don't act the same
When the lights go down
She don't act the same
She be screaming out loud
She don't act the same no no no
Man I thought I had her figured out
Cause in the day she's a lady
But now everything's changed
She don't act the same
Excuse me your honour
I'm calling a witness
If y'all don't believe me
The walls are my witness
They done seen things in the wall of the business
So the neighbours know my name
They might even know you came
Over the house late last night
Woke up wanted more of what I ate last night
I love them quiet girls... deny girls
Them boy you crazy
But fuck it we can try them girls
She don't act the same
When the lights go down
She don't act the same
She be screaming out loud
She don't act the same no no no
Man I thought I had her figured out
Cause in the day she's a lady
But now everything's changed
She don't act the same
If these walls were watching
If these walls were watching
The lyrics to Mario and Fabolous's "The Walls" describe a woman who appears to be reserved and proper during the day but shows a completely different side of herself behind closed doors when the lights go down. The walls - as the witnesses to her behavior - would surely be talking about her and saying how amazing she is, and how wild and crazy she becomes. The song suggests that this woman is surprising and impressive in ways that are unexpected, and the contrast between her daytime and nighttime persona is striking.
The lyrics also suggest that the woman's behavior is something of a secret, and that it might shock or surprise those who know her during the day. The reference to neighbors knowing the singer's name and who came over the previous night adds to this sense of illicitness and excitement. The song's subtext suggests that there is something thrilling about the idea of a well-behaved woman unleashing her wild side when the lights go down - something that the walls, as silent witnesses to her behavior, can't help but take note of.
Overall, "The Walls" is a song about the power of secrets and the thrill of hidden desires. It suggests that there is something exciting about seeing someone in a new light, and that our private behavior often reveals aspects of ourselves that we might not show in public.

Over the house late last night
You came to my place last night, late over the house
Woke up wanted more of what I ate last night
Woke up and wanted more sexual activities
I love them quiet girls... deny girls

Them boy you crazy
Those girls are driving me wild
But fuck it we can try them girls
But let's go ahead and have fun with those girls
If these walls were watching
If the walls could actively watch
If these walls were watching
If the walls could monitor everything happening here
