I Wanna Be Down
The Hit Crew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night we went to bed not talkin'
'Cause we'd already said too much
I faced the wall you faced the window
Bound and determined not to touch

We've been married seven years now
Some days it feels like twenty-one
I'm still mad at you this mornin'
Coffee's ready if you want some
I've been up since five thinkin' 'bout me and you
And I gotta tell ya the conclusion I've come to

I'll never leave I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up
We'll get around to that
I think I'm right I think you're wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just wanna be mad for a while

For now you might as well forget it
Don't run your fingers through my hair
Yeah that's right I'm bein' stubborn
No I don't wanna go back upstairs
I'm gonna leave for work without a goodbye kiss
But as I'm drivin' off just remember this

I'll never leave I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up
We'll get around to that
I think I'm right I think you're wrong
I'll probably give in before long
Please don't make me smile
I just wanna be mad for a while

I'll never leave I'll never stray
My love for you will never change
But I ain't ready to make up
We'll get around to that
I think I'm right I think you're wrong
I'll probably give in before long




Please don't make me smile
I just wanna be mad for a while

Line by Line Meaning

Last night we went to bed not talkin'
We had an argument and didn't resolve it before going to bed


'Cause we'd already said too much
We had already said things we shouldn't have and it led to the argument


I faced the wall you faced the window
We slept with our backs to each other, not wanting to touch or communicate


Bound and determined not to touch
We were resolute in not making any physical contact to show that we were still upset


We've been married seven years now
We have been married for seven years


Some days it feels like twenty-one
Sometimes it feels like we've been married for much longer than seven years


I'm still mad at you this mornin'
I am still upset with you this morning


Coffee's ready if you want some
I made coffee, but I am not going out of my way to be nice


I've been up since five thinkin' 'bout me and you
I have been awake since five in the morning thinking about our relationship

For now you might as well forget it
For now, don't bother trying to make up with me


Don't run your fingers through my hair
Don't try to be affectionate with me, I am still upset


Yeah that's right I'm bein' stubborn
Yes, I am being stubborn right now


No I don't wanna go back upstairs
I don't want to go back upstairs and pretend everything is okay

I'm going to leave for work without saying goodbye to you or being affectionate


But as I'm drivin' off just remember this
Before I leave, remember this
