Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sat outside your house today
Just thinkin' you'll never hurt
It's like the time I packed your things
And dropped 'em off where you were
I know you love to wash your car
So I left it in the lake
(Do you feel like I should)
Sit around with your touch
And your smell on my couch
And your hair in my brush
I loved you too much
(Do you think that I should)
Move along, change my phone
Get it on, I'll be gone
Treat him wrong 'til the day
That someone loves me the same way
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time, I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
I knew I heard it in your voice
Something was wrong with the day
I feel I didn't have the choice
My heart was not in the way
Found out that I'm up in the cut
Some chick was wearing my face
You're lucky I'm in a good mood
Or she'll lay
Do you know how it feels
Sittin' around, smellin' sheets
Feelin' down, watchin' Heat
But my friends where you been
I'm with her again
Do you think that it's cool
To act a fool inside my house
I put you out, you come back in
We fight again, nobody wins
And baby, you should know that this is it
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time, I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time, I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
(Go, go, go, go, go)
Oh, oh (go, go, go, go, go)
Hey, ooh, yeah (go, go, go, go, go)
Ooh, ooh, oh (go, go, go, go, go)
Sometimes you can't let go
Even when your heart says so
I have to let you see
Your love could never be
You're in love with me you see
Can't let you, just don't need
I tried to love you still
I now know how it feels
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time, I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel? (go, go, go)
(It says go, go, go)
I know you're no good for me (oh, oh, oh)
(Go, go, go, go)
I must cite these lonely nights (go, go, go)
(Beggin' you to do me right)
This time, I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
How am I supposed to feel?
What exactly should I do?
I know you're no good for me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
I must cite these lonely nights
Beggin' you to do me right
This time, I just don't know
Heart says stay, mind says go
In Tamia's song "Go," the singer grapples with conflicting emotions regarding a former lover. She knows he's no good for her and has already moved on with someone else, but she still loves him and can't shake him from her mind. The opening lines paint a picture of revenge as the singer admits to leaving her ex's beloved car in a nearby lake, giving insight into the bitterness and resentment she feels towards him. The chorus repeats several times, with the singer acknowledging her confusion and the battle between her heart and mind.
The middle section of the song shifts slightly, as the singer laments her loneliness and the isolation she feels as she watches her ex move on without her. She reflects on the past fights they've had in her home and the way he's disrespected her, ultimately acknowledging that she needs to let go and move on from the relationship.
Overall, the song captures the complexity of emotions that can come with a difficult breakup. The singer is struggling to reconcile her love for her ex with the reality of his hurtful behavior and the fact that he's moved on with someone else. It's a relatable story that taps into the universal experience of heartbreak and the difficulty of letting go.
Line by Line Meaning
I sat outside your house today
I spent time outside your home, lost in thought
Just thinkin' you'll never hurt
Contemplating that you can never cause me pain
It's like the time I packed your things
Similar to when I boxed your belongings up
And dropped 'em off where you were
And left them where you were located
I know you love to wash your car
I am aware that you enjoy cleaning your car
So I left it in the lake
Thus I disposed of it in a body of water
They say the strongest part of love is called hate
People say that love and hate are closely intertwined
(Do you feel like I should)
(Do you think I ought to)
Sit around with your touch
Should I sit with memories of your physical touch
And your smell on my couch
Along with the lingering scent of you on my furniture
And your hair in my brush
And your hair remaining in my brush
I loved you too much
My affection for you was too strong
(Do you think that I should)
(Do you believe I should)
Move along, change my phone
Should I leave and alter my phone number
Get it on, I'll be gone
Start fresh, I'll be absent
Treat him wrong 'til the day
Invest my energy in hurting him until the day
That someone loves me the same way
That someone loves me equally
How am I supposed to feel?
What is the expected way for me to feel?
What exactly should I do?
What precise action should I take?
I know you're no good for me
I am aware that you do not benefit me
Yet and still I'm lovin' you
Despite this knowledge, I still feel love for you
I must cite these lonely nights
I must mention the lonely nights I experience
Beggin' you to do me right
Pleading with you to treat me with respect
This time, I just don't know
At this point, I am uncertain
Heart says stay, mind says go
My emotions and logic are in disagreement
I knew I heard it in your voice
I sensed it in the tone of your voice
Something was wrong with the day
Something went amiss throughout that day
I feel I didn't have the choice
I feel as though I had no say in the matter
My heart was not in the way
My emotions were not a priority
Found out that I'm up in the cut
I discovered that I'm being kept hidden
Some chick was wearing my face
Another woman was pretending to be me
You're lucky I'm in a good mood
You're fortunate that I am not upset
Or she'll lay
Or I will confront her
Do you know how it feels
Are you aware of the sensation
Sittin' around, smellin' sheets
Sitting around in the presence of bed sheets that still hold your scent
Feelin' down, watchin' Heat
Feeling low while watching the movie Heat
But my friends where you been
My friends are questioning where you've been
I'm with her again
I am with another woman again
Do you think that it's cool
Do you believe it's acceptable
To act a fool inside my house
To behave inappropriately in my residence
I put you out, you come back in
I asked you to leave, yet you return
We fight again, nobody wins
We argue once more, but there is no victor
And baby, you should know that this is it
And dear, you ought to be aware that this is the end
(Go, go, go, go, go)
(I should leave)
Oh, oh (go, go, go, go, go)
Oh, oh (I need to depart)
Hey, ooh, yeah (go, go, go, go, go)
Hey, ooh, yeah (I have to go)
Ooh, ooh, oh (go, go, go, go, go)
Ooh, ooh, oh (It's time for me to go)
Sometimes you can't let go
In certain cases, it's difficult to move on
Even when your heart says so
Despite your emotions urging you to do so
I have to let you see
I must show you
Your love could never be
That your love for me will never be enough
You're in love with me you see
You are in love with me, that much is clear
Can't let you, just don't need
Cannot allow you, simply don't require
I tried to love you still
I attempted to sustain my love for you
I now know how it feels
But now I comprehend the sensation
