Soul-Ty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stays in my mind to this very day
Said have fun while you can, every moment is gold
We're here only a little while
So dry your tear and try to fake a smile
Listen to these last sweet words, then go and grow old
This time, this time, this time
On my own don't know what to do
Looking for a job but it don't look good
So I'm wandering, may be gone for awhile
Wasting time and some nights I'm wild
So I pay the price, brush those teeth and smile
My best life happens when I feel like a child
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
Those who know try to inform me
That I'll find my answers in maturity
But the truth I see, although I'm not wise
Have some plans need to feel my way
And that's enough just for today
Maybe live my life with some style
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
Met a girl just the other day
She was sweet and kind and kind of out of her mind
Never had much luck, but now out of the blue
Kissed her face and we laughed awhile
I left her place with a little smile
I said, "When is love forever?"
She said, "It's all up to you."
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
The lyrics to Soul-Ty's song "This Time" describe a relationship in which the singer gave his all to his partner, but she didn't appreciate it. He asks her several times, "Didn't I blow your mind this time?" indicating that he put in a significant amount of effort to make the relationship work, but their bond eventually broke down. Despite his numerous efforts to leave, he always ended up going back to her, which only made her laugh when he cried. In the end, he decides that he can no longer take the emotional pain and leaves for good, telling her that he hopes she understands that he won't be coming back.
The lyrics depict a classic case of unrequited love, where one partner is more invested in the relationship than the other. The singer clearly cared deeply for his partner and was willing to do anything to make her happy, but she didn't reciprocate his feelings or put in any effort to make the relationship work. His repeated question, "Didn't I blow your mind this time?" shows both his confusion and frustration, as he can't understand how someone could not appreciate all the love he had given.

I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
I dedicated myself to you completely, emotionally and physically
Now didn't I do it, baby, didn't I do it baby
I fulfilled my promise of unwavering love, didn't I?
Gave you the love you never knew, girl, oh
I introduced you to a love that you've never experienced before
I've cried so many times and that's no lie
I shed tears because of your actions towards me
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry
You find joy in my heartbreak and emotional turmoil
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Didn't I impress you with my actions this time?
Yes sir
Confirmed, agreed
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
I believed your love for me was genuine
Now, didn't I think it baby...didn't I think it baby
I had faith in you, didn't I?
But this time I'm really leavin' you girl, oh
But now, I'm truly walking away from this relationship
Hope you know it baby, hope you know it baby
I hope you understand my decision
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
I've tried to leave numerous times before
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Realize that this is the end and there will be no more attempts
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Oh)
A repetition, asking if I impressed you this time
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I (Hoo)
Asking again if my actions surprised you
Girl, can we talk for a second
Asking for a brief conversation
I know it's been a long time
Acknowledging that it's been a while
Since some someone's blown your mind, like I did
No one has wowed you like I have
There'll be other times, for me and you
We may cross paths in the future
And I can see the tears fallin' from your eyes
It's clear that my decision has made you emotional
Tell me girl, did I blow your mind
Asking one last time if I impressed you
Ooh, ooh , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
