NE‐YO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sittin', wonderin' what she's thinkin'
Nobody's talkin'
'Cause talkin' just turned into screamin'
And now is I'm yellin' over her
She's yellin' over me
All that that means
Is neither of us is listening
That we don't even remember why were fighting
So both of us are mad for
Nothin'
(Fighting for)
Nothin'
(Crying for)
Nothin'
(Whoa)
But we won't let it go for
Nothin'
(No not for)
Nothin'
This should be nothin' to a love like what we got
Oh, baby
I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain)
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
Oh, no, no, no
And it gets me upset, girl
When you're constantly accusing
(Askin' questions like you've already known)
We're fighting this war, baby
When both of us are losing
(This ain't the way that love is supposed to go)
Whoa
(What happened to workin' it out)
We've falled into this place
Where you ain't backin' down
And I ain't backin' down
So what the hell do we do now
It's all for
Nothin'
(Fighting for)
Nothin'
(Crying for)
Nothin'
(Whoa)
But we won't let it go for
Nothin'
(No not for)
Nothin'
This should be nothin' to a love like what we got
Oh, baby
I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain)
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
Oh, no, no, no
Oh baby this love ain't gonna be perfect
(Perfect, perfect, oh oh)
And just how good it's gonna be
We can fuss and we can fight
Long as everything alright between us
Before we go to sleep
Baby, we're gonna be happy
I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Can't sleep through the pain)
Girl, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
No, I don't wanna go to bed
(Mad at you)
And I don't want you to go to bed
(Mad at me)
Oh, no, no, no
"Mad" by NE-YO is a song about a couple who are in the midst of a fight. The couple is sitting silently, wondering about what the other person is thinking since talking has turned into yelling. They are both yelling at each other, but no one is listening, and both of them are mad for no apparent reason. They have forgotten the reason for their fighting, and instead, they continue to argue relentlessly. The couple is in a constant state of accusations, and both of them are losing the war. NE-YO sings that they have fallen into a place where they are refusing to back down.
Still, NE-YO emphasizes that they don't have to go to bed angry or mad at each other. He wants them to work everything out, fuss and have disagreements, but still make up before going to bed. He sings about how he cannot sleep through the pain of being mad at each other, and he doesn't want the girl to go to bed angry with him, either. He stresses that their love is not meant to be perfect, and they will fight and argue, but as long as they can make up and be happy, everything will be alright.
In summary, "Mad" by NE-YO is a song about two people who are arguing and have forgotten why they are fighting. The song emphasizes the importance of making up and not going to bed angry, despite having disagreements and arguments.

My 12 year old son was recently hit by an out of control car and, unfortunately didn't make it. I remember him watching this video and it touched him so deeply that the little boy appears to pass away. It breaks my heart to imagine the unbelievably big heart he had for others and ironically he passed from the same thing. God have mercy on myself and our family, as this is the most unimaginable tragedy you could ever imagine. Thank you NEYO for making this video. <3
