I Want You
Tayla Parx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So indecisive, don't know what to do

'Cause I want you, and you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really blame me wanting you?
And you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really blame me? I want you

I'm still trying to break some habits (habits)
Sometimes I'm choosy or greedy or both
Don't we all come with some baggage? (Baggage)
And I know I got more than most

We both know two is company, three is a crowd
So far from grounded, and close to the clouds
Contradicting the things I thought I knew
So indecisive, it's so hard to choose

'Cause I want you, and you, and you, you, too (you)
Can you really blame me wanting you?
And you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really blame me?
'Cause I want you, and you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really blame me wanting you?
And you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really blame me?

You know I like my options
I be switchin' and swappin'
Platinum, baby, no floppin'
Bubblegum, you poppin'
Switchin' up my logo
Up and down like pogo
Show you off, that's promo
Always happens like slow-mo
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
We both, we both got places we could go
And whether or not you stay, or turn and walk away
The way I feel will never change

I want you, and you, and you, and you, and you (you)
Can you really blame me wanting you?
And you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really choose?
I want you, and you, and you, you, too (you)
Can you really blame me wanting you?
And you, and you, and you, too (you)
Can you really blame me?

Know I like my options

I be switchin' and swappin'
You know I like my options

Overall Meaning

Tayla Parx's song "I Want You" is an anthem for someone who is indecisive about their love life. The opening lines - "Think I finally get your message, You won't just let me go and let you down" - suggest that Parx's love interest is hesitant to let her go. This ambiguity about their feelings has left her confused as she views herself as a "bad decision" that keeps changing the person's mind about her. She goes on to describe the situation as she sees it, with two being company, and three being a crowd. She finds that she is "grounded" by one person and "in the clouds" with another, which contradicts what she thought she knew about her desires. She admits she is indecisive and conflicted about what she wants, and the chorus repeats the refrain of wanting multiple people.

The second verse continues the theme of her confusion, as she tries to break some habits of being choosy or greedy. However, she recognizes that everyone comes with some baggage, and she has more than most. She again references the two as company dynamic and finds herself far from grounded when she is with one person and close to the clouds with another. She repeats her indecisiveness before launching back into the chorus, where she reveals that she simply likes her options and repeatedly asks if we can blame her for wanting what she wants.

Overall, the song's message is one of accepting oneself and embracing ambiguity in love. Parx thinks that liking multiple people and being indecisive is perfectly normal, and she is not afraid to express it. The song's upbeat, poppy sound also reinforces this idea of simply enjoying the moment and going with the flow, rather than worrying about what others may think of one's tastes and actions.

Line by Line Meaning

Think I finally get your message
I understand what you're trying to say to me now

You won't just let me go and let you down
You don't want to break up with me and risk disappointing yourself

I'm one of those bad decisions
I know I'm not the best choice for you

And that keeps changing your mind around
But for some reason, you can't make up your mind about me

And two is a company, three is a crowd
Having more than two people in a relationship can get complicated

One keeps me grounded, and one in the clouds
Having multiple options can make me feel both stable and uncertain

Contradicting the things I thought I knew
My feelings are making me question what I used to believe about relationships

So indecisive, don't know what to do
I'm struggling to make a choice

'Cause I want you, and you, and you, and you, too (you)
I have feelings for you and multiple other people, too

Can you really blame me wanting you?
Can you really judge me for feeling this way?

I'm still trying to break some habits (habits)
I'm still working on improving myself

Sometimes I'm choosy or greedy or both
I can be picky or selfish when it comes to relationships

Don't we all come with some baggage? (Baggage)
We all have our own issues and problems

And I know I got more than most
I recognize that I have a lot of personal baggage

So far from grounded, and close to the clouds
I feel very unstable and uncertain in my feelings

It's so hard to choose
Making a decision is really difficult for me

You know I like my options
I enjoy having choices

I want you, and you, and you, and you, and you (you)
I have strong feelings for multiple people

Can you really blame me?
Is it really my fault?

Can you really choose?
Is it really possible to choose just one person?
