Partynextdoor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One can be my only
The other must agree to be just a friend
But she can wine, wine slowly
Mi put an eye, eye on it
But I already agreed to be just a friend
And it's so hard to live with the truth
This vujà dé turned déjà vu
Then I think of you
I know I shouldn't be thinkin' of you
I already have (I already) everything that I will ask of you
I already have (I already) everything that they gon' say I could lose, times two
Only thing I don't wanna lose is my boo

The lyrics of PARTYNEXTDOOR's song, EYE ON IT, depict the conflicted emotions of the singer who is having an affair with someone he shouldn't be with while being in a relationship with someone else. The singer tries to justify his actions by acknowledging that he has agreed to be just friends with the woman he is attracted to. He describes her as someone who can wine, wine slowly, which may refer to her ability to seduce him. He acknowledges that he is living with the truth that he is in love with two women, and it's hard for him to understand his feelings. He knows that he shouldn't be thinking about the other woman, but he cannot help himself. He loves his girlfriend, but he still dreams of the other woman, which makes him question his loyalty.
The singer acknowledges that he already has everything he wants from the other woman, and he could lose everything, including his relationship, but he cannot help his infatuation towards the other woman. He doesn't want to lose his girlfriend, his boo, but at the same time, he can't stay away from the other woman. The repetition of "one and only, yeah" emphasizes the struggle between choosing between two women. The singer is in a dilemma, and he cannot decide whom he wants. The lyrics reflect the insecurities, doubts, and complexities of relationships and the human heart.
