Different
Tink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wasn't there when I was alone (alone)
Say that you care, when really you don't
It's all in your actions, none of my fault
'Cause I ain't the kind you put to the side whenever you want
There must be something to hide
Feel like when you're on my line
There's someone around and stay in the cut, ooh oh
So do me a favor, show me the paper
I'm not in the mood to cry anymore
That ain't the vibe that I'm going for
Thought you were cool
All of it's fake (yeah)
Told you before that money and girls ain't never replaced
All that I gave you
All that I am
You're just a boy, who can't be a man

You're spending time away all night (all night)
I need you here on my side
You said you'd be around for life
You don't even call my name

Yeah, yeah
I'm feeling, I'm feeling a way
Yeah, yeah
Why all a sudden you change?
Nothing with you is the same
I don't know how to explain
All we ever do is fuss
Ain't no way to make this up
You're acting different (hmm, hmm)
So different (hmm, hmm)
Different (hmm, hmm)
So different (hmm, hmm)

What did I say?
Or what did I do?
You can't even talk or look in my eyes when I'm in the room
So why would you act like, this was our home?
Dealing with girls who cannot compare to nothing I'm on
I'm feeling so disrespected (yeah)
I cannot even accept it (yeah)
You're so out of line for wasting my time, and
Now you're neglectin'
Wildin' out in public
You just love to switch up the subject
I'm so tired of you flippin' and fumblin'
Say I'm trippin' on you over nothing
But, look at yourself
You're doing me bad
It's all in your tone
You hang up the phone and never call back
(Never call back)
What do I do?
Start up a fight?
I hate to be wrong
I knew all along that this wasn't right

You're spending time away all night (all night)
I need you here on my side
You said you'd be around for life
You don't even call my name

Yeah, yeah
I'm feeling, I'm feeling a way
Yeah, yeah
Why all a sudden you change?
Nothing with you is the same
I don't know how to explain
All we ever do is fuss
Ain't no way to make this up
You're acting different (hmm, hmm)
So different (hmm, hmm)




Different (hmm, hmm)
So different (hmm, hmm)

Overall Meaning

In Tink's song "Different," she expresses her frustration and confusion about her partner's sudden change in behavior. The lyrics suggest that he was not there for her when she was alone, and he only pretends to care for her. Tink observes that his actions speak louder than his words, and she refuses to be put on the side when he wants. She feels there must be something to hide when he's on her line, and someone is around, so she asks him to show her the paper. Tink also highlights that money and women cannot replace the love she gave him, and he is just a boy who cannot act like a man. She also notices that he spends more time away from her, and he doesn't even call her name, let alone be by her side.


Tink feels disrespected and cannot accept his sudden change in behavior. He hangs up the phone and never calls back, and she's tired of him flipping and fumbling. Tink knows that something is not right, and she hates to be wrong, but she cannot start a fight with him. She wants to express her feelings to him, but he cannot talk or look in her eyes when she's in the room, and he acts like their home has no meaning. The song's chorus reinforces Tink's confusion and frustration as she repeats that he's acting so different, and nothing between them is the same.
