Issues
Saturdays (The) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel like I'm going out of my mind
Boy, the way you do me is a damn crime
Then you smile at me and it's alright
With you there ain't no in between

Every time that I walk out the door
Tell myself I won't take it no more
There's a part of me that won't let you go
I keep sayin' yes but my mind's sayin' no

Me and my heart, we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you
Damn, I wish that I could resist you
Can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you

Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues

It's awful, boy you leave me hangin' for so long
You empty out my love until it's all gone
You change the words but still it's the same song
I'm tired of the melody

Change my number, throw out your clothes
But my feelings for you it still shows
I keep building a wall round my heart
But then I see you and it all falls apart

Me and my heart, we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you
Damn, I wish that I could resist you
Can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you

Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues

Why fight it? Can't hide it
Truth is I think I like it
Confusion, illusion
Still I don't know which way to go

Me and my heart, we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you
Damn, I wish that I could resist you
Can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you

Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you
Damn, I wish that I could resist you
Can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you

Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues





Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you

Overall Meaning

The song "Issues" by The Saturdays is about the struggles of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics are highly relatable to anyone who's ever been in a relationship where they can't decide whether they should stay or go. The singer talks about feeling like she's "going out of [her] mind" and how her partner's behavior is a "damn crime." She talks about the mixed messages she gets from her partner, and how one minute she's ready to walk away, and the next she can't resist him.


The chorus of the song sums up the struggles of the relationship perfectly - "Me and my heart, we got issues, don't know if I should hate you or miss you. Damn, I wish that I could resist you, can't decide if I should slap you or kiss you." The singer is torn between her conflicting feelings for her partner - on the one hand, she wants to hate him for the way he's treated her, but on the other hand, she can't help but miss him when he's not around.


The song is a great representation of the push and pull of a toxic relationship, where you know you should walk away, but you can't help but be drawn back in. It's a relatable theme, and The Saturdays' powerful vocals and catchy melody make this a standout track.

Ooooh yeah
Sometimes I fell like I'm going out of my mind,
Boy the way you do me is a damn crime,
Then you smile at me and its alright,
With you, there ain't no in between.

Every time that I walk out the door, tell myself I won't take it no more,
There's a part of me won't let you go,
Keep saying yes when my minds saying no,
Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn I wish that I could resist you 
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you,
Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues, issues, issues

Its so wrong, boy you leave me hanging for so long yeah, empty out my love until its all gone, 
You change the words but still its the same song,

Change my number and throw out your clothes, 
But my feelings for you, it still shows

But then I see you, and it all falls apart

@SpiceGirlsNet

Looking back the Saturdays music was great pop music. You don't really appreciate some groups until they're no longer making the music, but they were fab compared to the 'pop' in the charts right now.
