Ryan Pugal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was young
You were having fun
Everything you said
It made me gone,
It made me gone,
It made me think
I would never be
Now do you see, I say

Please don't start the drama
When I'm out in the public
Please don't be spreading
All the lies and the rumors about me
What ever I did in the past
Just let it be the past,
Cause I'm really only looking forward now,
To the future, the future

(Chorud)
Here me on the radio
See me on the TV Show
Now you acting like you know me
Why is it that years ago
Disrespect me, you doing what you do
And now that I'll be in the
Spotlight, suddenly we so tigh

I was young
You were having fun
You try to put me down if you could
To bring me down if you could
And now your jealous of me
You start the drama with me

Please don't start the drama
When I'm out in the public
Please don't be spreading
All the lies and the rumors about me
What ever I did in the past
Just let it be the past,
And who I f*ck in bed,
It is my buisness, my buisness

(Chorus)
Here me on the radio
See me on the TV Show
Now you acting like you know me
Why is it that years ago
Disrespect me, you doing what you do

And now that I'll be in the
Spotlight, suddenly we so tight
