Nelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
Yeah,I can't shake it, no
I can't wait to see you
want to see if you still got that
Look in your eye
That one you had for me
Before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we
Gotta spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same thing
Over and over again
Oh but I think she's leaving on
And she's leaving here
And I don't know what else to do
(Can't go on not loving you)
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no
I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath
You took right in front of me
When you said that you would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you
Or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps
Playing in my head
Over and over again
It play in my head
Over and over again
Oh but I think she's leaving on
And she's leaving here
And I don't know what else to do
(Can't go on not loving you)
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no
Now that I realize
That I'm going down
From all this pain you
Put me through
Every time I close my eyes
I lock it down
Oh, I can't go on not loving you
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no
'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no
The lyrics of this song describe the haunting thoughts that come with a broken heart, the feeling of repeatedly reliving the pain even though the actual memory remains in the past. Nelly can't shake the thoughts of his former lover, even when picturing them with someone else, it brings a feeling of betrayal in his heart. He longs for the days when things were different between them, and hopes that she has not completely moved on from him either. Nevertheless, the lingering pain and sadness of the end of their relationship continue to play out in his mind. The song has an emotional tone of longing, regrets and hurt. It shows how difficult it is to let go of someone we love, especially when it feels like the memories are all we have.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "over and over" emphasizing the repetitive nature of the singer's thoughts. It's not just a single memory, but a constant reel of them playing in his head. In the third verse, Nelly admits that he was too stubborn to try to stop his former partner from leaving. He now realizes the magnitude of the choice he made, and that it continues to play over and over again in his head, tormenting him. The emotional climax comes when Nelly declares that he "can't go on not loving” his ex-partner, even though the pain of the broken relationship is overwhelming.
