Issues
The Saturdays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooooh yeah


Sometimes I fell like I'm going out of my mind,

Boy the way you do me is a damn crime,

Then you smile at me and its alright,

With you, there ain't no in between.

Every time that I walk out the door, tell myself I won't take it no more,

There's a part of me won't let you go,
Keep saying yes when my minds saying no,

[Chorus]
Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you,
Damn I wish that I could resist you
Can't decide if I should leave you or kiss you,
Me and my heart we got issues,issues,issues
We got issues,issues,issues

Its so wrong, boy you leave me hanging for so long yeah, empty out my love until its all gone,
You change the words but still its the same song,
I'm tired of the melody
Change my number and throw out your clothes,
But my feelings for you, it still shows
I keep building a wall round my heart
But then I see you, and it all falls apart

[Chorus]

Why fight it, can't hide it
Truth is I think I like it
Confusion,illusion
Still I don't know which way to go

[Chorus x2]

Me and my heart we got issues, issues, issues
We got issues issues
We got issues issues
We got issues issues





Me and my heart we got issues
Don't know if I should hate you or miss you

Overall Meaning

The song "Issues" by The Saturdays is an emotional ballad about conflicted feelings towards a significant other. The lyrics speak to the push and pull of a tumultuous relationship, where one constantly goes back and forth between loving and hating the person. The chorus particularly emphasizes this struggle, as the singer can't seem to decide whether to "leave you or kiss you." The song describes the difficulty of walking away from someone who has captured your heart, even when you know it's for the best.


The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer feeling like they are losing their mind due to the way their partner treats them. Despite this, when the partner smiles at them, everything is forgiven. This shows the power the partner has over the singer and the cycle of abuse that often occurs in toxic relationships. The second verse speaks to the singer's attempts to move on, changing their number and throwing out their partner's clothes, but still being unable to shake their feelings for them.


In the end, the singer is lost and unsure of what to do, torn between what their heart wants and what their mind knows is best for them. The lyrics convey a sense of raw vulnerability and confusion that many people can relate to when it comes to matters of the heart.

@SpiceGirlsNet

Looking back the Saturdays music was great pop music. You don't really appreciate some groups until they're no longer making the music, but they were fab compared to the 'pop' in the charts right now.
