Oversentimental
The Wldlfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hardly could find you
Cause you're never picking up my calls
Or talk to me at all
At all
I swear I can taste it
And I don't wanna waste this
You shouldn't be alone
At all
Baby don't get so over-sentimental
I don't want all of you, baby
Just for tonight
Blow out the candles don't wanna get ornamental
You look delicious, I'm tempted
Give me one bite
Cause I like your moves and your cool, but
I know I'm destined to lose, cause
The way you're looking's on a whole nother level
Baby I don't wanna get over-sentimental
Why you never around, love?
I hardly could find you
Cause you're never kissing
On my lips just a love apocalypse
No i can't take it
Baby don't get so over-sentimental
I don't want all of you, baby
Just for tonight
Blow out the candles don't wanna get ornamental
You look delicious, I'm tempted
Give me one bite
Cause I like your moves and your cool, but
I know I'm destined to lose, cause
The way you're looking's on a whole nother level
Baby I don't wanna get over-sentimental
You might wanna sit down for this
I can't get you off my mind
Think about you all the time
And I'm wanting a taste of your lips
No, I can't take it
Baby don't get so over-sentimental
I don't want all of you, baby
Just for tonight
Blow out the candles don't wanna get ornamental
You look delicious, I'm tempted
Give me one bite
Cause I like your moves and your cool, but
I know I'm destined to lose, cause
The way you're lookings on a whole nother level
Baby I don't wanna get over-sentimental
So if you wanna stay
Better make up your face
I bought you flowers on Monday
Well I know that you're gonna say
Over-sentimental
The lyrics to The Wldlfe's song Oversentimental depict a theme of a fleeting summer romance. The singer is infatuated with someone who is not always available to them, as the subject never picks up their calls or talks to them. Despite this, the singer is determined to make the most of the fleeting moments they have with the subject, wanting to dance the summer away together. The lyrics exemplify the singer's temporary desires, as they say they don't want all of the subject, only for tonight. The chorus kicks in with a plea to the subject to not get too emotional or attached, as the singer admits they know they are destined to lose the subject due to their emotional unavailability. The singer is tempted by the subject's allure, but doesn't want to get too invested. The song reaches a climactic point in the bridge where the singer admits their infatuation to the subject, saying they can't get them off their mind and wanting a taste of their lips. The song ends with the chorus again, with the singer trying to preserve their fleeting love by not being "over-sentimental."
Overall, the song portrays a relatable concept of a summer romance that is all-encompassing to one person but not reciprocated fully. It shows the singer's desire to not get too invested but also torn between their desire for the subject's attention and their fear of being hurt.
