Plan B
Ro James Lyrics

(Tick-tock)
Time is ticking, implying that there is a sense of urgency or deadline

Oh, baby
Informal address to a loved one

Put your keys on the counter
Asks the listener to stay for a while

Keep my eye on the clock
Shows that the artist is conscious of time

Ain't no need to be nervous
Relaxes the listener

Girl, I just wanna talk (about)
The singer wants to discuss an important topic, potentially a difficult one

Love sometimes hurts you
Acknowledges the pain that can come with love

But we don't deserve it (But we don't deserve it)
Suggests that both the artist and the listener are deserving of love without pain

And we both searchin' for the one
The artist and listener are both looking for a special person

I understand
The artist empathizes with the listener

So if you can't find someone like me
The singer is confident in their worth

I'll be right here, baby
The artist is willing to wait and be patient

Don't stress it, we can always go to plan B
Suggests that the singer has a backup plan or alternative option in mind

You, you, you know that I deserve you (oh, baby)
The singer reiterates their belief in their own worth and expresses affection for the listener

So tell me, can we plan?
The singer wants to discuss a specific course of action

Come plan, I'm callin' for you
The artist is actively initiating this conversation and suggesting that they have a role to play in it

I'ma probably hit your line
The artist intends to make contact

I'ma have to slide and sit aside
The singer will need to be patient and wait for an opportunity to engage

Know you ain't forget them nights
The singer reminds the listener of past experiences they shared together

So don't make me chase ya
The artist wants the listener to reciprocate their feelings without hesitation

Know I gotta have that sexin' from you
The artist desires sexual intimacy with the listener

Every day ain't enough
The artist wants more from the relationship

Shouldn't even be a question for you
The singer believes that their feelings are obviously reciprocated

Girl, you know how we get down
Suggests that the artist and listener have a shared history and understanding

Don't you need someone like me?
Rhetorical question, suggesting that the listener recognizes the value of the singer

Oh, tell me, can we plan?
The singer is still interested in discussing a specific course of action

I know that we're focused on ourselves
Acknowledges that both parties may be occupied with individual priorities

Ain't gotta run away this weekend
Suggests that the artist wants to spend time with the listener, but is flexible with timing

Ooh, ooh
Exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm

As long as we remain friends
Emphasizes the importance of an enduring relationship, regardless of its nature

Hit me like a lightning strikes
The singer wants an intense emotional or physical reaction from the listener

Like 1999
Suggests that the artist wants a nostalgic, classic feeling

Back when the music was right
Further emphasizes the nostalgic feeling desired by the artist

Hit me like a heartbeat so fast
Continues the metaphor of a strong physical reaction to the listener

Like a heart attack
Emphasizes the intensity of the singer's desire

I don't know where you're at
Uncertainty about the listener's feelings or location

I don't know where you are
Literal repetition of the previous line

Who do you think you are?
Questioning the listener about their identity or intentions

Who do you think I think I am?
Self-awareness about how the singer may be perceived by the listener
