You Made Me
Mika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can be difficult ,I can be mean
We can be lovebirds or sting like bees
We're walking a wire
In danger of falling from grace

A minute of pleasure
An hour of pain
You reel me back in with your physical thing
Cos sometimes you're worth all of the things that I hate

Oooh.. I shoulda let go
My head says yes but my heart says no

So I'm black and I'm blue
And I act like a fool
Cos you make me
Crazy

And I'm up and I'm down
Turning into the clown that you make me
Baby that's what you're
Waiting for

You make me want you more

You see it black and I see it white
You're never wrong and I'm always right
We argue the point
The point is to disagree

I'm better off dead
??? of personality
in your head

Cos I'm black and I'm blue
And I act like a fool
Cos you make me
Crazy

And I'm up and I'm down
Turning into the clown that you make me
And maybe that's what you're
Waiting for

Baby you played me
But you'll never make me kiss you back and fall apart
I don't have to do it just cos you make me

black and then blue
I won't like a fool
Cos you make me
Baby

I get up I get down
But I won't be the clown that you made me
Baby

Black and then blue
I won't act like a fool
cos you make me
Baby

I get up I get down
But I won't be the clown that you made me
Baby

I get black and then blue
I won't act like a fool
that you made me
Baby

I get up I get down




But I won't be the clown that you made me
Baby

Overall Meaning

Mika's "You Made Me" is a song that explores the complexities of a relationship that is on the edge. The song is about a couple that is caught in a tug of war where the highs and lows are equally intense. The couple can be difficult or mean to each other, yet they can also be lovebirds. They are walking on a wire, trying to keep their relationship from falling apart.


The song talks about the emotional rollercoaster that this couple is going through. They have moments of pleasure, but those moments are often followed by hours of pain. However, the physical attraction between them is so strong that they keep coming back to each other, despite the pain. The chorus of the song expresses the confusion that the singer feels. His head tells him to let go, but his heart tells him otherwise. He feels black and blue, like a fool, but he cannot resist the power that his partner has over him.


The song's lyrics are written in a way that expresses the singer's turmoil in a powerful manner. The use of contrasting elements such as black and blue, up and down, and lovebirds and bees convey the message of how this relationship is constantly swinging between extremes. The song's melody is also crafted in a way that complements the lyrics perfectly, becoming almost like a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
