No Way Out
P. Diddy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mamma's crying in the kitchen
Even the dog can feel the chill
She lays her head down on the table
Next to a stack of unpaid bills
Daddy comes and puts his arms around her
He says "Girl, your stockings' startin' run
Now it ain't ever been easy
But ain't it always been fun, fun, fun"

We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way out
I said no way

Daddy's cussin' in the backyard
Got the engine hangin' from a tree
Kickin' the tires on the T-Bird
He says, "T, you ain't gettin' the best of me, not this time"
Mamma comes dancin' out the back door
Snappin' a dish towel in her hand
She says, "Don't you be wastin' all that good energy
Don't you know how I love a sweaty man-oh-man-oh"

We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way, no way out
I said no way out

Fell in love and there's no way out
Fell in love and there's no way out
Fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it
We fell in love and there's no way, no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
We fell in love and there's no way out
Sometimes you just gotta laugh about it

We fell in love and there's no way
No, no way, no way out
