Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a man, but I want you
I got a man, but I want you
And it's just nerves, it's just dick
Makin' me think 'bout someone new
You know I got so much to say
I try to hide it in my face
And it don't work, you see through
That I just want get wit' you
And you're right

You right, I got my guy
But I, I, can't help it, I want you
Said, you right, I got my guy
But I, I, can't help it I want you

I can't stop and look the other way
'Cause I know what could be, babe
And you never feel the same
You'd be thinkin' 'bout it every day
Don't believe in fairytales, but we got our fantasies
And it's me and you, no she
Tryna be all through your sheets
Have you all on top of me
Acting like it's not that deep
Boy, you can take it out on me
Tell me what it's 'bout to be
Really feel it's bound to be
I can't tell no one but they all know

I got a man, but I want you
I got a man, but I want you
And it's just nerves, it's just dick
Makin' me think 'bout someone new
You know I got so much to say
I try to hide it in my face
And it don't work, you see through
That I just want get wit' you
And you're right

You right, I got my guy (you right, you right, I)
But I, I, can't help it I want you
Said, you right, I got my guy (you right, you right, I)
But I, I, can't help it I want you

Girl, I want you like you want me too
I feel that energy (ooh, yeah)
When you're on top of me (oh, yeah)
I know your man, he ain't controllin' you
But you still hesitate (ooh, no)
'Cause you chose loyalty (oh, yeah)
And I know your history, met him before your peak (hey, hey)
He's so connected to that woman that you used to be
But-but-but this sex will cloud your memory
A couple strokes to put it in, then you'll belong to me

I got a man, but I want you
I got a man, but I want you (oh)
And it's just nerves, it's just dick
Makin' me think 'bout someone new
You know I got so much to say
I try to hide it in my face
And it don't work, you see through
That I just want get wit' you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you're right

You right, I got my guy (you right, you right, I)
But I, I, can't help it I want you




Said, you right, I got my guy (you right, you right, I)
But I, I, can't help it I want you

Overall Meaning

The song "You Right" by The Weeknd and Doja Cat is about a woman who is in a relationship with someone else but is strongly attracted to the person she's singing to. She admits that the attraction is not logical – it's just nerves and desire that make her think about someone new. She tries to hide her feelings, but the person she's singing to sees right through her. Despite being with her current partner, she can't help but want the other person.


The chorus repeats the same idea – that she has a man but cannot control her attraction to someone else. The lyrics mention that she knows what could be with the other person, but at the same time, she has doubts about whether this attraction is actually real or just a fantasy. Despite her reservations, she still seems to want to act on her feelings.


The song's lyrics depict the internal struggle people experience when they have conflicting feelings toward two individuals. They want to be loyal, but at the same time, they can't help how they feel. The song also explores the idea of indulging in fantasies, even if it's only for a moment. "You Right" is a catchy tune with meaningful lyrics that resonate with listeners who have been through the same situation.
