Mad
Ne-Yo (wapos.ru) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's starin' at me,
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,
(And what's even worse)
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
(Cant 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

Overall Meaning

"Mad" is a song about the struggles of communication in a relationship, and the frustration that comes with not being heard by your significant other during a disagreement. The verse describes a couple who are so angry with each other that they’re no longer listening and not even sure what the argument was about. Despite their irrational behaviour and recklessness, neither of them is willing to let it go. This leads to a chorus that repeats the phrase “Nothing’s worth fighting for, crying for” as if to acknowledge the silliness of their argument.


The song implies that relationships will have moments of strain and stress, and sometimes bringing closure and making up is much better than letting things carry on. The lyrics highlight the reality that every relationship has its challenges, and the key to getting through them is through communication, which requires active listening and compassion for the other party.


The chorus goes on to say “This should be nothing to a love like what we got” suggesting that they have a strong enough relationship to overcome this obstacle and not let it define them. The song ends on a positive note, suggesting that rain must fall, but at the end of the day, nothing is perfect and “we’re gonna be happy”.

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

@tasertag7513

Sorry man. I'm...well, the human language has no words to describe your pain.
