She Wants Me Now
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she's all alone
She's on her phone, she's telling me to get home
Now, it's 2AM
You don't understand
That I'm a man, yeah, I've got responsibilities
And I've got demands, people to see
Affecting my availability
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she's had enough
She's in a mess, burning holes in her party dress
Now, she's on her way
She's in a taxi, getting ready on the back seat
You don't understand
That I'm trying to the best of my ability
Yeah, I've got demands, places to be
Affecting my availability
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Now, she wants me now
She wants me now, but I'm not available
Slaves's song "She Wants Me Now" speaks to the struggles of being a man with responsibilities and demands but also desires and temptations. The singer is being pursued by a woman who wants him right now, but he is unavailable due to his duties and commitments. The woman is depicted as being impatient, burning holes in her party dress, and in a hurry, trying to get ready while on her way to the singer.
The lyrics seem to suggest a certain tension between the expectations placed on men to be responsible and the desire to indulge in pleasure and freedom. The singer acknowledges that he has responsibilities and demands that are affecting his availability, and yet he is tempted by the woman who wants him now. The song seems to suggest that these expectations placed on men can often lead to a conflict between what is expected of them and what they truly desire.
Overall, "She Wants Me Now" is a powerful commentary on the complexities of masculine identity and the struggles that men face in trying to balance their responsibilities with their desires.
