Olanda Draper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who been doin' it my way
Gettin' my bread for years
In my career
And every lover
In and out my life
I hear love and left the tears
Without a care
She caught me by surprise
I never thought I'd be the one breaking down
I can't figure it out why
I'm so, caught up
Got me feelin' it, caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems she's got me twisted
I'm so, caught up
Got me feelin' it, caught up
I'm losin' control, this girls got a hold on me
Let me go baby
Now listen
My momma told me
Be careful who you do 'cause karma comes back around
Same ol' song
But I was so sure
That it wouldn't happen to me
'cause I know how to put it down
But I was so wrong
This girl was mean
She really turned me out
Her body was so tight
I'm lookin' for her in the daytime with a flashlight
My homies say this girl is crampin' my style
And I can't figure it out
But I'm so, caught up
Got me feelin' it, caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems she's got me twisted
I'm so, caught up
Got me feelin' it, caught up
I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold
I'm so, caught up
Really feelin' it, caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems she's got me twisted
I'm so, caught up
Really feelin' it, caught up
I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold on me
And I think I like it baby
Oh no, oh no, ooh, yeah, oh my
This girl was mean
She really turned me out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, suga
My homies say this girl is crampin' my style
I'm so, caught up, caught up
Don't know what it is
But it seems she's got me twisted
I'm so, caught up
Really feelin' it, caught up
I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold
I'm so, caught up
I'm so, caught up
I don't know what it is
But it seems she's got me twisted
I'm, caught up
Really feelin' it
Caught up, I'm losin' control
This girls got a hold on me
The song "Caught Up" by Olanda Draper talks about a man who is usually in control of his life and relationships but finds himself caught up in the passion and allure of a particular woman. The man admits that he was so confident in his ability to control his emotions and relationships, but this woman has caught him by surprise, and he cannot understand how she has gotten him so twisted that he is losing control.
The lyrics show how this woman has turned his life around and caused him to care deeply about her, even though he never thought he would be the one breaking down. The man is stuck in a confusing situation where he's not sure if he should stay or leave. He is confused by his feelings and torn between his past and present.
The song has a relatable theme that many people can identify with, the idea that no matter how much control we think we have over our lives, we can get caught up and lose ourselves in an unexpected situation. It portrays how love can change a person's life and lifestyle, leaving them feeling twisted, caught up and losing control.
