Found You Out
Sir Sly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm running tired of this complex
I was jealous, knowing that you wanted more
I assure

How was it?
Did you get it faster?
I hope it's everything you want and more
There's the door

A taker and a giver
Oh you make me shiver
Could not deliver
Oh I guess I found you out

My table didn't need a Judas
Your pride turned you into Brutus now
Now
Get paid and tell you couldn't cover
I lost a confidant and lover now
Oh now

A taker and a giver
Oh you make me shiver
Could not deliver
Oh I guess I found you
A taker and a giver
Oh you make me shiver
Could not deliver
Oh I guess I found you out
Oh I guess I found you out

(Yeah) I was so sick of it - your lies and selfishness
I'll be the bigger man while you act like you're innocent
No matter where you go, your lies will follow you
You think you're back on the top but the back rows will swallow you

A taker and a giver
Oh you make me shiver
Could not deliver
Oh I guess I found you out
Oh I guess I found you out

Now I know we didn't fit
I wish I could've quit
Did having sex with other men make you feel you were relevant?
Just for the hell of it
You make me feel like shit




I fell in love but soon I met you
Now I'm over it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sir Sly's song Found You Out describe the emotions of someone who has come to the realization that they have been betrayed by a loved one who they believed was honest and trustworthy. The opening lines of the song convey the singer's fatigue with the complexity of the situation and their feeling of jealousy. It seems that they were aware of the other person's desire for something more than what they had, but tried to reassure themselves that everything was okay. However, they eventually discovered the truth and are now confronting the other person, telling them to leave because they have shown themselves to be a taker and not a giver. The chorus repeats the idea of the other person making the singer shiver and not being able to deliver on their promises.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more angry and resentful. They compare the other person to Judas and Brutus, implying that they were betrayed and hurt by the one they trusted. The idea of money also comes up, with the suggestion that the other person was somehow involved in financial improprieties. The singer expresses regret that they ever got involved with the other person and accuses them of being a liar and selfish. The song ends with the singer expressing relief that they are now over the other person and can move on.
