Ricky Tyler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don’t like the way these other niggas treat you
Just let me finish baby I would never change you
I got a couple songs I’d really like to play you
See, I know it’s not the time right now but hey
What better time, to tell you now before it’s too late?
No lie, you think I’m pretending
It’s fine ‘cause I know the feeling
I give you everything and give you more
That’s the plan don’t say what
That’s the plan don’t say what
I give you everything, say what
That’s the plan don’t say what
I give you everything, say what
I didn’t mean to
Thought I’d hit you up like I know what you been through
Thought I’d hit you up like I’m about to save you
This is what you needed though, a difference
Treat you like a centerfold
You got a feeling I’m not sober, sober, no
Telling me I need to stop, it’s over, it’s over yeah
And I just thought I’d let you know yeah
‘Cause I don’t wanna be alone yeah
You stick with me, I’m going nowhere
That’s the plan don’t say what
That’s the plan don’t say what
I give you everything, say what
That’s the plan don’t say what
I give you everything, say what
I didn’t mean to leave you
No, no baby I done told you
You just gotta let me roll through
There’s a lot that I can show you
I can’t stop thinking, listening to the beat
You need something different and I give you all of me
Guarantee I’ll show you colors
I guarantee I’m not like others
I guarantee I’m worse than others but
At least I got that pay cheque covered yeah
Lighten up, don’t be so stubborn
I got mozzarella in the oven
I got everything if you’ve got nothing
You could have me to
That’s the plan don’t say what
That’s the plan don’t say what
I give you everything, say what
That’s the plan don’t say what
I give you everything, say what
"Tag, you’re it!"
Ricky Tyler's song Everything is an emotionally charged love ballad in which he confesses his love and admiration for his significant other. From the start of the song, Ricky admits that he wasn't meaning to express his feelings but he can't ignore how other guys treat her. He reassures her that he isn't looking to change her as he has a couple of songs he'd like to play her. He acknowledges that it may not be the right time, but it's better to say it now than regret it in the future. He acknowledges that his love may come off as pretending but he knows the feeling, and he's willing to give her everything she wants and more.
In the second verse, Ricky Tyler addresses the way he knows she's been feeling and admits to calling her up when he knows she's going through tough times. He believes he can save her and treat her like the centerfold she is. As he admits to being under the influence, she tells him it's time to put an end to it, implying that he's got some addiction issues. Ricky likes her a lot, and he doesn't want to lose her, so she must stick with him. He reassures her that he's going nowhere, and she's welcome to join him. He promises to show her different colors and guarantees that he's different from other men. He lightens the mood by telling her not to be stubborn and that he has everything she needs- including mozzarella in the oven!
Overall, the song highlights the struggles that come with love and the way lovers try to express their feelings to their significant others.
