So Sick
Ne-Yo feat LL Cool J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So, so sick (TM)
To the beat y'all (So, so sick)
Oh me? My name is L
First of all you a banger, straight up and down
I'm seein' minks on your hangers
That leads to dangerous situations, but I can't be patient
You need communication, appreciation
Respect for your style instead of talkin all wild
One smile, you're daydreamin of walkin the aisle
In the waterbed, rollin around in a money pile
Baby my format is not to be a doormat
But I still pull your chair out at the table and all that
Touch your back softly, whatever it cost me
Time money or energy, you will remember me
Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
'Cause right now it says that we, can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice, anymore
(It's ridiculous) It's been months, and for some reason I just
(Can't get over us) And I'm stronger than this
(Enough is enough) No more walkin 'round with my head down
I'm so over bein' blue, cryin' over you; and
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishin', you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Gotta fix that calender I have, that's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you, and your memory
And how every song reminds me of what used to be, that's the reason
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishin', you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(Leave me alone) Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs) Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm lettin go, turnin' off the radio
I'mma keep you equipped in all of the best whips
Pay attention to detail, even your lipstick
Give compliments when your pedicure switch
When we on the mattress, you won't care if I'm rich
I'll love you deeply, whisper sweetly
Even when you critique me, you can still reach me
Beats me why you sweeter than a peach be
One bite's enough sugar for the whole night
You'll be aight, you rollin with the Elvis of rap
C'mon, move your pelvis and throw it back
I know it's forward and it sounds a little blunt
But love money respect, whatever, pick what you want
That's the reason
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishin', you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Said
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishin', you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
And
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
So done with wishin', you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I turn off the radio?

To the beat y'all
Let's get into the rhythm
So, so sick (TM)
I'm extremely tired and fed up
Oh me? My name is L
Hey, it's LL Cool J
First of all you a banger, straight up and down
You're incredibly attractive
I'm seein' minks on your hangers
You have expensive and luxurious taste
I know your momma told you don't talk to strangers
Your mother warned you about talking to strangers
That leads to dangerous situations, but I can't be patient
It can be risky, but I can't wait
You need communication, appreciation
You require communication and appreciation
Respect for your style instead of talkin all wild
I'm not going to disrespect you by talking rudely
One smile, you're daydreamin of walkin the aisle
Your beautiful smile makes me envision marrying you
In the waterbed, rollin around in a money pile
We can share a luxurious, comfortable bed and be surrounded by wealth
Baby my format is not to be a doormat
I won't be a pushover
But I still pull your chair out at the table and all that
I'm still a gentleman, with small gestures of kindness
Touch your back softly, whatever it cost me
I'll show affection, even if it takes time, money, or energy
Time money or energy, you will remember me
I'll invest however much it takes for you to remember me
Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
My voicemail needs updating now that I'm single
'Cause right now it says that we, can't come to the phone
It currently states that we can't answer the phone together
And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
It's illogical to keep my old message since you left me
But it's the only way I hear your voice, anymore
I keep the message as the only reminder of your voice
(It's ridiculous) It's been months, and for some reason I just
It's silly, but even after months, I still
(Can't get over us) And I'm stronger than this
Can't seem to move on from our relationship despite my willpower
(Enough is enough) No more walkin 'round with my head down
I'm done sulking and feeling down
I'm so over bein' blue, cryin' over you; and
I am completely done with being sad and shedding tears over you
I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
I'm really fed up with hearing and singing love songs, and shedding tears over love
So done with wishin', you were still here
I'm tired of wishing you didn't leave me and were still here with me
Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
My distaste for love songs and their sad, slow tones is overwhelming
So why can't I turn off the radio?
But, for some reason, I can't stop listening to them
Gotta fix that calender I have, that's marked July 15th
I need to change my calendar, which has our anniversary marked on July 15th
Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
Since you left, there is no more anniversary to celebrate
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you, and your memory
I'm sick of constantly thinking about you and remembering our time together
And how every song reminds me of what used to be, that's the reason
Every song reminds me of the past, and that's why I'm sick of love songs
Leave me alone
Please, just leave me alone
Stupid love songs
These silly love songs
Don't make me think about her smile
They remind me of your smile
Or having my first child
Or wondering about starting a family with you
I'm lettin go, turnin' off the radio
I'm finally letting go and turning off the music
I'mma keep you equipped in all of the best whips
I'll keep you in the nicest cars
Pay attention to detail, even your lipstick
I'll notice the small details, like your lipstick
Give compliments when your pedicure switch
I'll give you compliments when you change up your pedicure
When we on the mattress, you won't care if I'm rich
When we're together, you won't care if I'm wealthy
I'll love you deeply, whisper sweetly
I'll love you deeply and romantically whisper sweet nothings
Even when you critique me, you can still reach me
Even when you criticize me, you'll still have access to and influence over me
Beats me why you sweeter than a peach be
I have no idea why you're the sweetest thing ever
One bite's enough sugar for the whole night
One sweet moment with you is enough to make my night
You'll be aight, you rollin with the Elvis of rap
You'll be alright because you're rolling with the greatest rapper, me
C'mon, move your pelvis and throw it back
Come on, let's dance and move our hips
I know it's forward and it sounds a little blunt
I understand that my words may be too direct and blunt
But love money respect, whatever, pick what you want
But ultimately, choose whatever matters most to you - whether it's love, money, or respect
Why can't I turn off the radio?
Why can't I stop listening to these love songs?
