Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So won't you come sit and talk to me
And tell me how we're gonna be together always
Hope you know that when this late at night
I hold on to a pillow tight
I think about how you promised me forever
I never thought that anyone could make me feel this way
Now that you're here boy all I want is just a chance to say
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who)
And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right
But you were just a waste of time (waste of time)
Tell me why you looking so confused
When I'm the one that didn't know the truth
How could you ever be so cold?
You go behind my back and call my friend
Boy you must've fall and bumped your head
'Cause you left your number on her phone
So now that after all that you've said and done
Maybe I'm the one to blame but
To think that you could be the one
Well it didn't work out that way
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
'Cause I know about her (move)
And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies (all the lies)
You said that you would treat me right (you said that you)
But you were just a waste of time (waste of time)
I wanted you right here with me
But I have no choice you've got to leave
Because my heart is breaking with
Every word I'm saying, I gave up everything I had
On something that just would not last
But I refuse to cry
No tears will fall from these eyes (oh, oh)
Get out
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me (you and me)
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
'Cause I know about her (move)
And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies (how did I)
You said that you would treat me right (you said that you)
But you were just a waste of time (waste of time)
Get out (leave) right now
It's the end of you and me (hey yeah)
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
'Cause I know about her (move)
And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right (treat me right)
But you were just a waste of time (waste of time)
Get out (leave) (you and me)
It's too late (too late) (now)
About her (now) (why)
You said that you would treat me right
But you were just a waste of time (oh)

Boy you must've fall and bumped your head
Boy, you must have fallen and hit your head
'Cause you left your number on her phone
Because you carelessly left your phone number in her possession
So now that after all that you've said and done
Now, considering all the words spoken and actions undertaken
Maybe I'm the one to blame but
Perhaps I am partially responsible
To think that you could be the one
To believe that you could be my soulmate
Well it didn't work out that way
Well, it did not turn out as expected
I wanted you right here with me
I desired your immediate presence by my side
But I have no choice you've got to leave
However, I am left with no alternative but to ask you to depart
Because my heart is breaking with
Because my heart is filled with anguish due to
Every word I'm saying, I gave up everything I had
Every word I express, I sacrificed all that I possessed
On something that just would not last
For a relationship that simply could not endure
But I refuse to cry
However, I refuse to shed tears
No tears will fall from these eyes (oh, oh)
No tears will stream down my face
Get out
Leave
It's too late
The opportune moment has passed
About her
Concerning the other woman
You said that you would treat me right
You made a commitment to treat me properly
But you were just a waste of time (oh)
However, you ended up being nothing but a pointless endeavor

This is what you do
This is what you do
This is what you do
This is what you do
You make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
You make me
Before anything began between us
You were like my best friend
The one I used to run and talk to
When me and my girl was having problems
You used to say it'll be ok
Suggest little nice things I should do
And when I go home at night and lay my head down
All I seem to think about was you
And how you make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
Think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
You make me
Now what's bad is you're the one that hooked us up
Knowing it should have been you
What's sad is that I love her but I'm falling for you
What should I do?
Should I tell my baby bye-bye?
Should I do exactly what I feel inside?
'Cause, I, I don't wanna go, don't need to stay
But I really need to get it together
You make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
Think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
You make me
At this point the situation's out of control
I never meant to hurt her
But I gotta let her go
And she may not understand it
While all of this is going on
I tried, I tried to fight it
But the feeling's just too strong
You make, make, make me
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
Oh, you make, make, me, me
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
come along wit' it
You makin' me, you makin' me
You make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
Think about a ring and all the things that come along with
You make me
make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Start a new relationship with you
This is what you do
@brishawn8571
Who's here because they actually enjoy listening to old school music?
Let’s be clear. This is my opinion and this song was not released in the 00’s. I consider old school from the night Biggie died “97” & below.
@tassap9355
You said it 👁️
@itz1stclass806
You know it
@bensims7501
I came to make sarcastic comment about judgemental people
@aidencarr1311
This isnt old school.
@brishawn8571
We have different meanings on the term old school then. ✌🏽
@jayblack3c3
