The Home Team Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Cause if you get your way I'll never hear the end of it
Oh you gotta get bad if you wanna be the one
′Cause by the time you get this I'll probably be fuckin' on
Oo ooh, ′cause you know what you′ve got
You know what you've got, ooh
′Cause you know what you've got
Don't be so sweet, I′ll think you really like me
Tell me I'm the one just so you can have me nightly
Bite my tongue 'till it bleeds, ′till it bleeds
′Cause I would never tell you that you showed up in my dreams
(I would nevеr tell, tell, I would nevеr tell)
Oo ooh, 'cause you know what you′ve got
You know what you've got, ooh
′Cause you know what you've got
You know what you′ve got, oh, yeah
Ooh, woah oh, woah oh
Bear with me, bear with me now, ooh
As I find out how
To get you out of my head
And into my bed
Don't think I'll notice if you (start to lose)
Start to lose focus too
I′ll rock witchu all night long
Long as I′m fuckin' on
What′s happenin' baby, you know what time it is, wow
Oo ooh, ′cause you know what you've got
You know what you′ve got, ooh
'Cause you know what you've got
You know what you′ve got, oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh woah yeah. Woah oh, woah oh
The Home Team's song “On” is a catchy and upbeat tune with some risqué and self-reflective lyrics. The song seems to be about a person who is trying to move on from a past relationship but keeps being drawn back to their ex-partner. The first verse talks about the struggle of trying to resist the temptation of going back to this person, even though they know it will only end in heartache. The chorus repeats the phrase "you know what you've got," which could be interpreted as a realization that the person they are trying to move on from is actually valuable and important to them, but it's too late to go back now.
The second verse takes a darker turn, with the singer acknowledging that their ex-partner is using them for their own satisfaction. They are aware that the other person is only telling them what they want to hear in order to continue sleeping with them. The bridge of the song shows the singer struggling to let go of this person, as they fantasize about being with them and finding a way to make it work. The song ends with a more confident tone, stating that they will continue to sleep with this person as long as they can, even if it means losing focus on moving forward.
