Trippin'
Toni Braxton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Things were all good
And two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin' a fit
And she is sittin' there crying
We tear it up
To patch it up
Break up
To make up
The show goes round and round
And that how we get down
We go back and forth
And anyone who goes through this should know
That what I am saying is for real
Real love is meant this way

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin'
She's trippin'
And we both be trippin' and
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin
'Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

What you know about screamin' yellin' cuzin' pushin', and rumblin' and arguing
Like it's 12 rounds up inside the garden
I say where the hell you going
And you say I'm getting up out of here
And I say you ain't going no where
Then I follow you down the stairs,
Get in front of you and then I scream
Times like this I know you're
Still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And oh yeah
When I feel like going off
I brush my shoulders off
And you know

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin'
She's trippin'
And we both be trippin' and
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin'
'Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

You won't believe it until you see it
How much you need somebody
(Need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
When you love somebody
(Love somebody)
Oh oh

Sometime we say the craziest things!

We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin'
She's trippin'
And we both be trippin' and
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin'
'Cause when it's all said and done




Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

Line by Line Meaning

Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Love isn't proven in the good times


Things were all good
When everything is perfect, that's not when love is proven


And two people are smiling
Love is found in the tough times


Love is found way down in the trenches
True love is found in the difficult times


When he's throwin' a fit
When he's upset and angry


And she is sittin' there crying
When she is upset and crying


We tear it up
We argue and fight


To patch it up
To work through the problems and come to a solution


Break up
To separate and end the relationship


To make up
To reconcile and get back together


The show goes round and round
The cycle repeats itself


And that how we get down
That's how we deal with our problems


We go back and forth
We argue and try to make up


And anyone who goes through this should know
Anyone who has been in a relationship like this can relate


That what I am saying is for real
What I'm saying is truthful


Real love is meant this way
True love is not always easy, but it's worth it


What you know about screamin' yellin' cuzin' pushin', and rumblin' and arguing
Do you know what it's like to argue and fight like this?


Like it's 12 rounds up inside the garden
Like a boxing match


I say where the hell you going
I ask where are you going


And you say I'm getting up out of here
And you say you're leaving


And I say you ain't going no where
And I say you're not leaving


Then I follow you down the stairs,
I follow you as you leave


Get in front of you and then I scream
I confront you and yell


Times like this I know you're
In moments like this I know you're


Still the one
You're still the person I want to be with


And the truth is this is really love
This is true love, even in the tough times


And oh yeah
And yeah


When I feel like going off
When I feel like getting angry


I brush my shoulders off
I let it go and move on


You won't believe it until you see it
You won't understand until you experience it


How much you need somebody
How much you need another person


(Need somebody)


And you'll never know how far you'll go
You don't know how much you can handle


When you love somebody
When you're in love


(Love somebody)


Sometime we say the craziest things!
We say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment


And your no longer stressin'
You're no longer stressed


And life teaches a lesson
You learn a lesson from the situation


That love is still a blessin'
Love is still a blessing


Cause when it's all said and done
In the end


Were back at square one
We're back to where we started


And that's the way love works out sometimes
This is just how love can be sometimes

[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Things are all good and two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin' a fit
And she's sittin' there crying
We tear it up (Tear it up)
Uh, to patch it up (Patch it up)
Uh, break up to make up
The show goes round and round
And that's how we get down
We go back and forth
And anybody who's sat through this should know
That what I'm saying's the realest
Real lovers feel this way



[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', man
'Cause that's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
We're back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

[Verse 2]
What you know about screamin', yellin', cussin', pushin', and rumblin' and arguin'
Like it's 12 rounds up inside The Garden?
I say, "Where the hell you goin'?"
And you say, "I'm gettin' outta here"
And I say, "You ain't goin' nowhere"
Then I follow you down the stairs
And get in front of you and I scream
At times like this, I know you're still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And, oh-yeah yeah
When I feel like goin' off, I brush my shoulders off
And you know, yeah





[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
But that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', man
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
We're back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

[Bridge]
You won't believe it until you see it
(How much you need somebody, need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
(When you love somebody, love somebody)
Oh
(How much you need somebody, need somebody)
(When you love somebody, love somebody)
Sometimes, we say the craziest things

[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
But that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin' (Baby)
And we both be trippin', man
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on
And you're no longer stressin' (Ooh, babe)
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
It's back to square one
That's the way love works out sometimes
We say things that we don't mean
'Cause that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', man
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on (On and on and on and on)
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
When it's all said and done
It's back to square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

First time I seen someone use this correctly. Wtf happened? When I heard it I thought it was a massive hit from early 2000s

@eimajvl

@@manialord1699 Not a lot of 90's artistes transitioned into the 2000's well, even with great songs like this one.

Feel like walking out of my home and then I remembered that the love is still worth fighting for.
