Amnesia
Timbaland feat. Ian Carey Rosette & Brasco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at me, scratching your head with that bewildered look on your face
You don't quite seem to recollect, it's as if there isn't a trace
Of all the reasons that I got you babe
All the ways you've done me wrong
Maybe I can't drive your memory
By the time I'm done with this song
You're a liar, a cheat, unfaithful don (unfaithful don)
You throw away all our love and trust (love and trust)
It's so hard to see just who you are
You've been tricking with them before
Amnesia

I, I think you got me all wrong, girl
Amnesia
I think, I think you got me all wrong
Amnesia
I, I think you got me all wrong, girl
Amnesia
I think you got me all wrong

I know that you'd rather forget all of the pain you caused me inside
You need a good reality check, that's why I'm walking out of your life
So all the images start flashing back and the picture is restored
Let me resurrect your solid past 'til there ain't no dying anymore

You're a liar, a cheat, unfaithful don (unfaithful don)
You throw away all our love and trust (love and trust)
It's so hard to see just who you are
You've been tricking with them before
Amnesia

She said I got amnesia
No cards girl, I'm no reader
That dress make me believe her

She's striding like a diva
Got a glimpse, go out for her features
I got approval from all my people
Is she the one, is she a keeper?
Cause you never know our love baby

Get a taste of this fame, baby, baby!
Oh no, you got me
I never cheat, not me
Don't get left out alone

You're a liar, a cheat, unfaithful don (unfaithful don)
You throw away all our love and trust (love and trust)
It's so hard to see just who you are
You've been tricking with them before
Amnesia

I, I think you got me all wrong, girl
(I think that I don't)
I think, I think you got me all wrong
(you're playing your first)
I wouldn't do you like that
(yes, yes you would)
I think you got me all wrong, girl
(no)
I think you got me all wrong, girl
Ii think that I don't)
I think, I think you got me all wrong
(you're playing your first)
I wouldn't do you like that




(yes, yes you would)
I think you got me all wrong, girl

Overall Meaning

The singer is frustrated that their ex-girlfriend seems to have forgotten all the pain she caused him, and he puts the blame on her for cheating, lying and throwing away their love and trust. The song captures the singer's desire to make his ex-girlfriend remember all the harm she caused him and to resurrect the memories of their past relationship to make it clear that she cannot just walk away scot-free.


The chorus of the song, "Amnesia," conveys the central theme of the track, which is how the girl cannot remember their past. The title, "Amnesia," refers to the medical condition of memory loss. The song implies that the girl is selectively, or perhaps involuntarily, forgetting certain things from their relationship, and the singer is trying to make her recall everything. Ultimately, the song is about the singer coming to terms with the painful end to what was once a relationship.
