Olivia Ft. Jimmy Cozier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might as well just stay with her
Did you lay with her? 'Cause wherever you were
You sure ain't thinking 'bout me, oh yea yea
I've been spinning around, thinking about our love
And so far you helped me babe, oh
You've been messin' around and lettin' me down, simple lies and alibi's
Just look around and see that she ain't me
And she'll never be, yea yea
Take a look around and know that you're lettin' go
The best love you'll ever know
It's just those simple things like jealousy
Houndin' me, accusing me of things I never did, yea
And Thursday you're so in love then Friday comes you flip again
Tell me does the drama ever end?
I've been spinnin' around, thinking about our love and so far it's crazy
And you keep on talking about I'm messing around
I cheated you, mistreated you
There's nothing in the world for you I won't do
Take a look around and know that you're lettin' go
The best love you'll ever know
Just look around and see that she ain't me
And she'll never be
Look around, look around and realize
That being good to you
You can't believe every little thing that your friends be tellin' you
Your friends be tellin' you
Looked around and what I find, you ain't here with me, see
You lied before and you lied some more
It's clear to see
Just look around, yea
Just look around and see that she ain't me
And she'll never be
Take a look around and know that you're lettin' go
The best love you'll ever know
Look around and think about it
That girl ain't me
You're trying my patience baby
This is your last chance
Look around and think about
The things that you said
'Cause I don't deserve
To be talked to this way
Look around and think about it
That girl ain't me I will be gone
If you keep mistreatin' me oh yea
Look around and think about it
Get it out of your mind
If I wanted her, why am I by your side? Yea
I know I know, if you lovin' me
