Just For Me
SZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then my heart gets involved and it's out of my control
She's too beautiful to just ignore it
So I lay my hands on her head and say, "Baby, you're mine"
This feeling's unusual
Faith and love are all I know
She's the kind you can't let go
So, so, I learn to
Fall in love with the lows and the midnight highs
The pills and the pain and the bad advice
I swear that I'm done with it one last time
Falls in love with the fire, baby, it got cold
She's gonna set fire everything I own
She never does, I know
You're just for me
I wanna put my heart into you (she's just for me)
I wanna, wanna fall into you (you're just for me)
I wanna give my all, but you pretend that you don't
I know (you're just for me)
Is it too late for us? You're inescapable
I run away from the thought of givin' you more of my time, time, time
You try to cage a bird, you got away with murder
I grab a piece of the sky to give you more shine
He's so dangerous and he knows it
Got my heart in a headlock and I'm out of control
He's so classy and can't stay focused
Eyes told me all I need to know
Fall in love with the lows and the midnight highs
The pills with the pain and the bad advice
I swear I be done with it one last time
Falls in love with the fire, baby, it got cold
He's gonna set fire everything I own
He never does, he never does
(You're just for me)
I wanna put my heart into you (she's just for me)
I wanna, wanna fall into you (you're just for me)
(Say that you're just for me)
I wanna give my all, but you pretend that you're done (oh, baby, no)
But you know you're just for me (oh, baby)
I wanna put my heart into you (she's just for me)
I wanna, wanna fall into you (you're just for me) (on and on)
I wanna give my all, but you pretend that you're done (on and on and on)
But you know you're just for me
In the song Just for Me, SZA sings about being captivated by someone's beauty and falling for them even though she knows it may not be in her best interest. The first verse describes how she's irresistibly drawn to this person but feels like it's out of her control. She confesses that this feeling is unusual, but that she's willing to fall in love with the ups and downs that come with it. Throughout the song, she struggles with wanting to give her all to this person but feeling like they're not reciprocating her feelings fully.
In the chorus, SZA repeats that the person is just for her, but she feels like they're pretending not to care. She wants to give her heart to them and fall completely in love, but she's unsure if it's too late or if they'll ever feel the same way. In the second verse, she talks about how the other person knows they're dangerous and has her heart in a headlock -- yet she can't stay away. Despite feeling like this person is out of her control, she still craves their attention and love, even if it means enduring the lows and the highs.
Overall, Just for Me is a song about being caught in the cycle of wanting someone who may not feel the same way. It's a relatable experience for many and SZA's soulful vocals and emotional delivery make the song all the more poignant.
