Omarion Lyrics

Midnight

It started out like any other day
But it was anythin' but
Somethin' 'bout the way the moon was shinin'
Somethin' seems so different, no

Got in my car but didn't have no reason
Swear I was drivin' but somethin' else was leadin' me
Lost all track of time, damn
The next thing, you won't believe

At 9 o'clock, I saw her
By 10, I had her number
11's when I called her
At 12 o'clock, it happened, I gotta blame

Midnight, I was caught up
It's like I couldn't help myself if I wanted to
(Blame it on midnight)
If she found out about us, would it be a good excuse?
(Midnight)

It's 12 o'clock, tick tock tick, the clothes drop
She's on top and I don't even wanna stop, no
Made me disregard and break my baby's heart
I know I did wrong but I blame it on midnight

Still here I know I'm in trouble
But I'ma finish what I started
My heart is tellin' me to leave here
But my body's sayin' stay longer

We goin' strong while my cell phone's blowin' up
I know it's wrong but somethin' else is leadin' me
Lost all track of time, damn
The sex is just too good to leave

At 1 o'clock, I'm in it
2 o'clock, still in it
Then 3 o'clock, I'm finished
At 4 o'clock, I'm drivin' home, I gotta blame

Midnight, I was caught up
It's like I couldn't help myself if I wanted to
(Blame it on midnight)
If she found out about us, would it be a good excuse?
(Midnight)

It's 12 o'clock, tick tock tick, the clothes drop
She's on top and I don't even wanna stop, no
Made me disregard and break my baby's heart
I know I did wrong but I blame it on midnight

What have ya done, it's 5 A.M., oh
Hookin' up wit somebody that you don't even know
How you gonna get yourself outta this one
You got a girl at home

I can blame it on my car breakin' down or
I can say I was workin' late and didn't know
That you was waitin' up, I never showed up
Girl, I know it's my fault

Midnight, I was caught up
It's like I couldn't help myself if I wanted to
(Blame it on midnight)
If she found out about us, would it be a good excuse?
(Midnight)

It's 12 o'clock, tick tock tick, the clothes drop
She's on top and I don't even wanna stop, no
Made me disregard and break my baby's heart
I know I did wrong but I blame it on midnight

Midnight, I was caught up
It's like I couldn't help myself if I wanted to
(Blame it on midnight)
If she found out about us, would it be a good excuse?
(Midnight)





It's 12 o'clock, tick tock tick, the clothes drop
She's on top and I don't even wanna stop

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Omarion's song "Midnight" describe how the singer is caught up in an affair with someone he met unexpectedly. The song opens with the singer noticing the moon shining differently and feeling a strange sense that something is different. He drives around aimlessly until he spots a woman, getting her number within an hour and then having sex with her at midnight. The singer knows what he is doing is wrong, but he blames it on uncontrollable urges that are associated with the late-night hour, as he continues to stay with her until 4 AM.


The song's chorus repeatedly emphasizes the singer's reference to the midnight hour and his inability to control his actions during that time. He eventually confronts the guilt and shame that comes with his actions, realizing the betrayal of his partner and the pain he causes her. In the end, he tries to come up with excuses, admitting that he did wrong, but placing the blame on his uncontrollable urges during the late-night hour.


Overall, "Midnight" is a cautionary tale about the risks of indulging in uncontrollable desires and the moral dilemma when confronted with the consequences of those choices. The song is relatable to many listeners who may have made similar mistakes in the pursuit of pleasure or to escape from emotional pain.
