Talk About It
Rukhsana Merrise feat. Ghetts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you feel like I've been running
Something holding onto nothing
Letting go isn't easy
So I'll keep you with me
Cause I'll never stand in what you go
Do you feel like we've been running?

Tell me it's true and we living this love
Takes to many chances to say goodbye
Then I took my love
Then I took my love
Tryna find what we lost
What are we waiting on
Nothing changed
With the words you never say
Allright
Then I took my love (Talk about it)
Then I took my love (Talk about it)
Think about what we got
What are we waiting on?
We don't talk about our love

Do you feel like I've been running?
Am I the one that you wanted?
Well, you gone about leaving
And I'll keep you with me
Because nobody wants to be alone
Do you feel like you've been running?

Tell me it's true and we living this love
Too many chances to say goodbye
Then I took my love
Then I took my love
Tryna find what we lost
What are we waiting on
Nothing changed
With the words you never say
Allright
Then I took my love (Think about it)
Then I took my love (Think about it)
Think about what we got
What are we waiting on?
We don't talk about our love

I see I can't talk right now, im busy
Let me get back in a minute
She wants to talk about marriage
And how come we ain't married tonight
Oh good, and I'll freeze her
I'll look and deceive her
I ain't getting this even
Your my woman now, I mean it
My good looking sweet thing
Here I'm stuck in my feelings
(?)
Said 'I Do' and I mean it
I've done the mouth (?)
Me plus you add one child equals forever
I'm smart, I ain't got the IQ of an idiot
Right beside you, when I'm easy
You're the light of my doom and I need it

Then I took my love
Then I took my love
Tryna find what we lost
What are we waiting on
Nothing changed
With the words you never say
Allright
Then I took my love (talk about it)
Then I took my love (talk about it)
Think about what we got




What are we waiting on?
We don't talk about our love

Overall Meaning

In Rukhsana Merrise feat. Ghetts's song "Talk About It," the lyrics are a conversation between two people in a relationship who haven't been communicating well. The song starts with Merrise asking if her partner feels like she's been running away from the relationship while holding onto nothing, yet finding it hard to let go. She wants to keep him close because she doesn't want to stand in the way of his dreams. Merrise then wants to know if her partner also feels like they have been running away from their relationship.


The chorus is about the two partners being afraid of saying goodbye and taking too many chances with their love. Merrise knows that they've lost something precious in their relationship, and she wants to find it again. She wants to talk about what they have between them and is waiting for her partner to initiate that conversation.


However, the verse where Ghetts comes in reveals that the conversation isn't happening because he's avoiding talking about marriage. He tries to deflect the topic and deceive her by saying he's busy before eventually admitting that he wants to be with her forever. He knows that they have a child together and that they are meant to be together; hence, he doesn't want to lose her. The last chorus emphasizes the need to talk about their love to save their relationship.


Overall, "Talk About It" is a song about a failing relationship where communication is lacking. The lyrics are an invitation to start communication, save the relationship, and find love again.
