Trinidad Cardona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me you want me then don't stay
If you gon' walk, then walk my way
But I can't watch from just one place
You don't make it easy to leave, baby
Playing when you got what you need, baby
You know I don't like when you tease, baby
You say you love me then
You wanna be my friend
I give you all my lovin', girl
And then you run away (ah-ooh)
Do you love me back?
Alright, if you gon' ask then, yeah, I'm fine
You didn't do nun, just waste my time
If anyone asks, I'll say I tried
When we both know you're still in my life
You don't make it easy to leave, baby (oh, baby)
Playing when you got what you need, baby
You know I don't like when you tease, baby
You say you love me then
You wanna be my friend
I give you all my lovin', girl
And then you run away (ah-ooh)
Do you love me back?
Alright, why she go lie straight to my face?
Tell me you want me then don't stay
If you gon' walk, then walk my way
But I can't watch from just one place
'Cause you don't make it easy to leave, baby (oh, baby)
Playing when you got what you need, baby
You know I don't like when you tease (tease)
You say you love me then
You wanna be my friend
I give you all my lovin', girl
And then you run away (ah-ooh)
Do you love me back?
Ooh, do you love me back?

He questions her honesty when she claims to love him but doesn't stay or reciprocate his affection. He wants her to be clear with her intentions and not lead him on. The chorus asks the main question of the song, "Do you love me back?" implying that he needs to know if she feels the same way he does.
The first verse paints a picture of confusion and frustration as the girl keeps playing games with Trinidad's heart by lying straight to his face. He then mentions how she can walk his way, but he can't just watch from one place. This indicates that he's willing to meet her halfway, but he needs effort from her as well. In the second verse, he seems to be more jaded and less willing to put up with her games anymore. He's tired of her wasting his time and stealing his light without reciprocating his feelings. He then repeats the chorus asking if she loves him back because he's tired of the mixed signals.
Overall, the lyrics of the song showcase the complexities and nuances of modern relationships, where people are often afraid to be honest about their feelings and intentions. The song conveys the frustration that comes with trying to decipher someone's true feelings while also dealing with one's own emotions. It's a relatable concept that many listeners can identify with.
