Decisions
Ne-Yo ft Brandy Lyrics

The angel says
The voice representing the person's conscience tells them something

Take a second, think about it
Take a moment to consider the situation

Ask yourself is it really worth it
Question if the potential action is truly valuable

Said u got a good girl on your side
Someone acknowledges that the person has a great partner

And u kno that she don't deserve it
However, the person knows that their partner does not deserve to be cheated on

But the devil says
The voice representing temptation or negative influences speaks

Look at how shes lookin at u
The temptation points out the attraction they feel from someone else

U kno u wana get it crackin
The temptation encourages them to take action and cheat

And plus how can your girl get hurt
The temptation highlights that their partner won't know about the cheating, hence won't get hurt

If she don't even kno that it happened
The temptation suggests that as long as the partner is unaware, there won't be any consequences

It's got me like oooh
The person is struggling with conflicting emotions

Cus i wana do right
They want to make the right decision

But she looks so good tonight
However, the temptation is strong due to the attractive person they are with

And its got me singin oooh
The person cannot help but feel torn

Cus i wana get it on
They are tempted to cheat

But i kno that its wrong
They understand that cheating is morally wrong

Decisions decisions (whooaaaa)
The person feels the weight of the difficult choice they have to make

Said decisions decisions (whoaaaaa)
The chorus repeats the title, emphasizing the theme of decision-making

The angel says
The person's conscience speaks again

What would you want her to do
The conscience asks the person to consider how they would feel if their partner cheated on them

If she was in the same situation
The conscience encourages them to empathize with their partner

Said think of your relationship
They should consider the impact their decision would have on their relationship

And walk away ignoring temptation
They should resist temptation and choose to be faithful to their partner

Said temptation
The voice representing temptation responds

She aint that kind of girl
The temptation suggests that the other person is not one to refuse temptation

So thats not even how it would go
The temptation reassures the person that the other person won't reject them

She'd never put her self in that place
The temptation suggests that the other person won't judge them for cheating

Said your a man so go ahead & be a man
The temptation uses gender stereotypes to pressure the person to cheat

Just make sure she never knows
The temptation suggests hiding the truth from their partner

And everything will be okay
The temptation suggests that cheating is a minor issue that won't affect their relationship

So what you gona do
The chorus asks the person to make a decision

Kno u gotta make a move
The chorus emphasizes that inaction is not an option

Are u gona do right
The chorus asks if the person will make the moral decision

Or get down for the night
The chorus implies that cheating is a temporary, insignificant pleasure

Kno u gotta choose
The chorus repeats the need for decision-making

Said u kno u love your girl
The person acknowledges their love for their partner

And u kno she loves u too
The person knows their partner loves them in return

But what u gotta ask your self
The chorus repeats the need for introspection

Is it worth losin her to u
Is the temptation worth losing their partner's trust and affection?
