Sean Paul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, you don't have to keep looking through my phone
If something's going on, girl, you'd already know
We can't even say two words without a fight anymore
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know

On the other side of love
You tell me you hate me and I hate you more
On the other side of love
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know

Hey, baby girl, longevity
Is a thing what you get with love
Trust and good livity
So listen me and just believe
And we make you stop from gwan like we are enemy
'Cause most definite
Without you in my life, my girl, it would be desperate
Cah me cyaan' me forget all the times when you had my back
Gyal, you give me many strength, hundred percent
So I represent when you represent
I'm the president, you ah my first lady
Girl, you Heaven sent, have me first baby

I told you girl when you first met me
It's a crazy world, nothing come free

Baby, you don't have to keep looking through my phone
If something's going on, girl, you'd already know
We can't even say two words without a fight anymore
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know (see it deh)

On the other side of love
You tell me you hate me and I hate you more
On the other side of love
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know (real talk)

Girl, I 'member when you first gave it up
And we began to first live it up
I steer it up, I gave it up
We came to love with no fear, enuh
But now you ain't seeing it clear enough
Yeah, you look in my phone and tearing up
And tell me you wan' me fi swear, enuh
Me ah tell you what we share is us

I told you girl when you first met me
It's a crazy world, nothing come free

Baby, you don't have to keep looking through my phone
If something's going on, girl, you'd already know
We can't even say two words without a fight anymore
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know (see it deh)

On the other side of love
You tell me you hate me and I hate you more
On the other side of love
How did we get here? Baby, I gotta know (girl)

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa (ay)

Baby, you don't have to keep looking through my phone
If something's going on, girl, you'd already know

Overall Meaning

The song "Other Side of Love" by Sean Paul talks about a relationship that has been strained to the point that any interaction between the two lovers results in an argument. There is no trust or communication, and the girl keeps looking through Sean's phone, looking for evidence of his infidelity. However, Sean clarifies that if there was something going on, she would already know. He talks about love being about trust and good intentions and pleads for their relationship to be back to how it was before. He reminisces about their happy times and promises to work towards a better future.


The song seems to be a commentary on the ups and downs of relationships. It highlights how love can quickly turn to hate, and how restoring trust and communication is essential in any relationship. Sean Paul delivers these lyrics in his signature dancehall patois and sings over a beat that is riddled with drums and electronic sounds. The result is a catchy tune that is enjoyable to listen to while also delivering a message that is relatable to many.
