Space
The Pussycat Dolls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The plan was to let me down gently
I know the game was to call it temporary
Boy be careful what you wish for
'Cause you might get that and so much more
I won't shed a tear if you don't want me here

Boy I'll give you space
In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now I'm walking out the front door
You got exactly what you asked for
Space in your phone where it said my name
Where I took my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for...
Space

Now wait
This ain't no way to be treated
Mistake
You can't have your cake and eat it
'Cause any real man would have been here
But I guess that's more than you can be
Let me help you out, I'ma leave right now

Boy you got your space
In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now I'm walking out the front door
You got exactly what you asked for
Space in your phone where it said my name
Where I took my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for...
Space

Where my kiss should be
In your arms where they used to be holding me
In your car on the passenger side
There's an empty seat where I used to ride
Space in your mind when you think of me
'Cause I'ma bout to be a memory
Now you've got your space

In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now I'm walking out the front door
You got exactly what you asked for
Space in your phone where it said my name
Where I took my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for...
Space

I'll give you your space
You got your space
You got exactly what you asked for
Baby, I'm so gone
You got me saying bye baby...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Pussycat Dolls’s song Space conveys a message of empowerment and self-respect in a relationship. The singer is addressing her partner who tried to end things with her in a gentle way but realizing that it is a temporary solution. She warns him that he might get much more than what he wished for, but she won't shed a tear if he decides to end things. She is confident in her ability to leave him and start a new life on her own, without looking back. The chorus of the song revolves around the idea of giving space to her partner, in the closet where her clothes should be or in the bed without her. She also reclaims the space in his mind and life where she once belonged.

The song is a testament to the need for dignity, self-worth, and self-love in a relationship. The singer refuses to be treated poorly by her partner and takes control of her fate, demonstrating the importance of setting boundaries and being clear about her needs. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in an unhealthy relationship, as they show that walking away from someone who doesn't respect you is sometimes the best decision, even if it's painful.

Line by Line Meaning

The plan was to let me down gently
You intended to break up with me gently

I know the game was to call it temporary
I understand you were only interested in a short-term relationship

Boy be careful what you wish for
You should be cautious with your desires

'Cause you might get that and so much more
You could end up receiving everything you wished for, and more

I won't shed a tear if you don't want me here
I won't cry if you don't want me around

Boy I'll give you space
I'll give you the distance you wanted

In the closet where my clothes should be
My belongings should have been in the closet

In that empty bed without me
Your bed is empty without me there

Now I'm walking out the front door
I'm leaving right now

You got exactly what you asked for
You received precisely what you requested

Space in your phone where it said my name
You have removed my name from your contacts list

Where I took my picture out your frame
Where I've removed my photo from your picture frame

And I won't be around when you figure out
I won't be there when you realize

Now wait
Hold on a moment

This ain't no way to be treated
This isn't a proper way to be treated

Mistake
You made an error in judgment

You can't have your cake and eat it
You can't have everything you want

'Cause any real man would have been here
A true man would have remained present

But I guess that's more than you can be
That's more than you're capable of

Let me help you out, I'ma leave right now
I'll assist you by leaving immediately

Boy you got your space
You've gotten what you wanted - distance

Where my kiss should be
There should have been my kiss in that spot

In your arms where they used to be holding me
Where your arms used to be holding me

In your car on the passenger side
In your car, on the right side of the front seat

There's an empty seat where I used to ride
Where I once sat, a seat is now empty

Space in your mind when you think of me
There's now distance in your thinking of me

'Cause I'ma bout to be a memory
Because I'm about to become a memory

Now you've got your space
You have the distance you desired

You got me saying bye baby...
You made me say goodbye, baby...
