In the Morning
Robbie Rivera & Wynter Gordon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back,
Take me back.

I'm going home alone tonight,
You were with your friends and that's alright,
'Cause they all, hit on me,
When your not looking, huh.

I'm a little sad to see you go,
Can you laugh and now I gets the joke,
Your problem, is tiny,
So it's so funny.

You took a real big chance,
And you gave me up,
I swear I was your friend baby,
I was your love,
And I admit, that I liked you too,
But you needed me, more than I needed you.

It's okay cos you'll be sorry in the morning,
Yeah it's okay cos I already hear you calling,
This is a game, that we play, that you always lose,
Miserably, you'll be begging take me back,
In the morning, in the morning.

Take me back,
Take me back.

Lying in my bed there's so much space,
And you move your things here (in place),
Let the day, sheets pile up,
With the laundry.

And I have done my best to make it work,
Why you try your best to be a jerk,
I deserve, an award,
For my patience.

You took a real big chance,
And you gave me up,
I swear I was your friend baby,
I was your love,
And I admit, that I liked you too,
But you needed me, more than I needed you.

It's okay cos you'll be sorry in the morning,
Yeah it's okay cos I already hear you calling,
This is a game, that we play, that you always lose,

Miserably, you'll be begging take me back,
In the morning, in the morning.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Robbie Rivera's "In The Morning" paint the picture of a woman who has been left alone, feeling sad and lonely, after spending the night with a man who just wasn't into her. The singer seems to be in love with this man but has come to terms with the fact that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings, and she's okay with it. She mentions that he was with his friends but it's alright because they all hit on her when he wasn't looking. The singer knows that she's beautiful and desirable, and that he'll be back in the morning, begging for her to take him back.

The second verse suggests that the man regularly mistreats the singer, but she has been patient and has done her best to make things work. She deserves credit for her tolerance, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. The singer is fully aware that the man is taking her for granted and expects her to be there for him whenever he wants. She emphasizes that this is a game that they play, which he always loses, and that he'll be begging for her to take him back in the morning again.
