Broken Hearted Girl
Teyana Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy, I see you looking at me, looking at you
Oh, no, I already know what you want, 'cause I want that shit too

Oh, it don't matter if you're single, single
Either way I just wanna take you home, take you home
And it don't matter if you got a past, got a past
'Cause I ain't got nothing to do with that, do with that, do with that
So, I wanna touch you
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
I wanna touch you
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
We ain't gotta waste time going out on dates
We ain't gotta count down 'till you come to my place
We ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta), we ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
We ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) we ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
You ain't gotta waste time sending me roses
They gon' die anyway, man them shits boring
You ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta), you ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
You ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) you ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
'Cause I want you right now

Look you need to stop playing with yourself (what?)
Like I ain't who you playing when you playing with yourself
You playing the shy role, I was playing it myself
But it's no good for you, now you playing with your health like
I ain't who you thinking 'bout (I ain't who you're thinking 'bout)
When you layin' by yourself (when you layin' by yourself)
Know you heard it was a movie (movie)
Better stop role playing with yourself like
Like, like, stop frontin'
Know they coming at your neck like a top button
You need to go ahead and drop it for a nigga
So I can come behind and like 'Miss you dropped something'
And fuck is these roses for, what all these clothes is for
I wanna close the door, fuck 'til we dozin' off
Wake up and go again, what's the mimosas for
You got the juicy things, champagne toast to yours
Cheers shawty, yeah shawty
Time to face your fears shawty
Climb up on it and hit them gears shawty
#BikeLife #MightWife
Got my heart like likes, looked at her like psyche
Looked at her like psyche
You ain't gotta
Hey T, stop playin' with me

The last nigga broke my heart
You probably break it too, no baby
I'd rather just play my part than to play a fool, no

So, it don't matter if you're single, single
'Cause baby boy, I'm just tryin' to take you home, take you home
And it don't matter if you got a past, got a past
'Cause I ain't got nothing to do with that, do with that, do with that

So I wanna touch you
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
I wanna touch you
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
We ain't gotta waste time going out on dates
We ain't gotta count down 'til you come to my place
We ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta), we ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
We ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) we ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
You ain't gotta waste time sending me roses
They gon' die anyway, man them shits boring
You ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta), you ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
You ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) you ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
'Cause I want you right now, yeah, oh

Amore, amore Portuguese
Ayy, say you love me
Amore, amore Portuguese
Ayy, baby, ayy, ayy
Amore, amore Portuguese
Ayy, say you love me




Amore, amore Portuguese
Ayy, say ayy, ayy, ayy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Teyana Taylor's "Broken Hearted Girl" are about a woman who has been hurt in the past but is still interested in a man who wants her. She is direct about her intentions and wants to cut to the chase rather than waste time on dated and traditional rituals of dating like going out on dates and sending roses. She puts distancing her previous heartbreak at the center of her approach and invites the man to share a physical connection with her in the present. Taylor asserts that she wants him now rather than a long, drawn-out courtship where they get to know each other slowly. The lyrics are straightforward in their lustful content, but also convey a sense of emotional resonance, with Taylor seeming to beg the man to make her feel wanted and desired. This is a relatable feeling for anyone who has ever longed for someone's attention and agrees to put down any other unreadiness for real love encounters because of past hurt, fears of losing their independence, or commitment issues.


The song was released on Teyana Taylor's second album, "K.T.S.E," which was produced entirely by Kanye West. Despite the number of collaborations on this album with well-known artists, this track stands out as the only solo one that Taylor wrote herself. These lyrics are a direct expression of her ownership of her sexuality and making her wants known. Although the lyrics are straightforward, Taylor's delivery and vocal inflections add an emotional edge to them, making the song much more than just a sultry love song.

We don't need to spend time going out on dates, counting down until we see each other, or sending each other roses because those things are not necessary. We can skip all that and focus on the moment between us.

You are playing games and pretending to be shy, but it's not good for your health. You need to drop the act and stop pretending, so we can be intimate together. Sending me flowers and buying clothes is unnecessary when all I want is to have sex with you. Let's make love until we fall asleep, wake up, and do it again. I admire you and it's time to break down your barriers and hit the pedal to the medal. Stop playing games because you don't have to pretend with me.


The last nigga broke my heart You probably break it too, no baby I'd rather just play my part than to play a fool, no
My heart was broken by my past lover, and you may do the same. But, rather than play the fool, I will simply enjoy the moment for what it is and not fall too deeply in love with you.


So, it don't matter if you're single, single 'Cause baby boy, I'm just tryin' to take you home, take you home And it don't matter if you got a past, got a past 'Cause I ain't got nothing to do with that, do with that, do with that
Whether you are taken or have a past, I still want to take you home with me. Your past does not affect my attraction to you.


So I wanna touch you Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now I wanna touch you Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now
I am still feeling the urge to touch you and I want to do it in the present moment.


We ain't gotta waste time going out on dates We ain't gotta count down 'till you come to my place We ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta), we ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) We ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) we ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) You ain't gotta waste time sending me roses They gon' die anyway, man them shits boring You ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta), you ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) You ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta) you ain't gotta, (you ain't gotta)
We can still skip the whole dating process, waiting for each other to come over, and exchanging flowers, because it's unnecessary. We just need to enjoy the moment between us.


Amore, amore Portuguese Ayy, say you love me Amore, amore Portuguese Ayy, baby, ayy, ayy Amore, amore Portuguese Ayy, say you love me Amore, amore Portuguese Ayy, say ayy, ayy, ayy
Expressing my love in another language, Portuguese, and urging you to say you love me back in the same language.
