Feelin' Single
R.ケリー Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe you're playing me like this,
I thought the love we shared, the good times we had, remember?
Yeah

Feels like it's over,
My heart tells me she's in love with someone else.
Gave me the cold shoulder
But this I lost 'cause I can find me somebody else

If she wanna hit the town
And party all night with her friends
If she wanna fool around
Then two can play that game baby

You got me feeling single,
About to give up
Find somebody
Who's gonna love me, girl
Feeling single,
Night is young,
Hit the club
Take somebody home with me

Get it, get it
Get it, get it
We can get it, baby
Get it, get it
Now I'm better single

She said forever
Turned out to be the biggest lie
Of all time
And she changed my weather
Rainin' all day
No chance of sunshine

If she wanna hit the town
And party all night with her friends
If she wanna fool around,
Then two can play that game baby

You got me feeling single
Feeling single,
About to give up
Find somebody
Who's gonna love me
Feeling single,
Night is young,
Hit the club
And take somebody home with me

Get it, get it
Get it, get it
Till the morning, baby
Get it get it
Now I'm feeling single

The way I see it, girl, not gonna do right
About me, baby girl
And I might as well (I might as well)
I might as well get out and mingle, girl
'Cause you got, you got, you got me feeling single

Yeah
And I don't wanna do it, baby,
But you're gonna make me
Find somebody
Who's gonna love me,
Treat me right, baby
Be in my house, in my room, in my bed, in my arms at night baby




And she's gonna love me, baby
And she's gonna give all lovin' lovin', baby

Overall Meaning

R. Kelly's song "Feelin' Single" tells a story of a man who feels betrayed by his partner who he thought he had a strong and loving relationship with. The first verse expresses the disbelief of how his partner changed, and how the love and good times they shared now feel like it's over. He realizes that his partner is in love with someone else and gives him the cold shoulder. He decides to move on and find someone else who can love him back, and if his partner wants to play games, he can do that too. The chorus repeats the feeling of being single and giving up, but reminds himself that he can still find somebody else who will love him. He plans to hit the club and take somebody home with him.


The second verse confirms that his partner broke his heart and that the promise of forever turned out to be the biggest lie of all time. He feels like it's raining all day with no chance of sunshine. He decides that he might as well get out and mingle and find someone else who can treat him right. The chorus repeats with the same message of feeling single, wanting to give up, but remembering that he can still find somebody else.

About to give up
I am close to losing hope

I need to look for someone


Who's gonna love me, girl
Someone who will truly love me


Night is young,
It's still early in the evening

Take somebody home with me

Get it, get it
Let's go for it, let's have fun

I am happier being single than being in a relationship with you


She said forever

Of all time
The biggest lie anyone has ever told me


And she changed my weather
You have influenced my mood and outlook on life


Rainin' all day
I am feeling down and pessimistic all day because of you


No chance of sunshine
I see no hope or happiness in sight


The way I see it, girl, not gonna do right
The way I see it, you will not change for the better


About me, baby girl
You are not considering me or my feelings


And I might as well (I might as well)
I might as well do something else or be with someone else


I might as well get out and mingle, girl
I should go out and socialize with other people instead of staying with you


'Cause you got, you got, you got me feeling single

And I don't wanna do it, baby,
I do not want to do this, but I have to


But you're gonna make me
But your actions have left me with no choice


Treat me right, baby
I want to be treated well and with respect


Be in my house, in my room, in my bed, in my arms at night baby
I want to share a close and intimate relationship with someone


And she's gonna love me, baby
And that person will love me and treat me with affection


And she's gonna give all lovin' lovin', baby
And give me all the love and attention I deserve

The composition in this song is actually really good. So many elements in it: Spanish guitar, violin/strings, vocals, dancehall beat...I could listen to it and still find something new.

Really good.
