The new group called itself Velvet Empire and released its self-titled debut album and debut single, "Frontin' On Me," in 2002. Despite the single receiving much radio and video play, the album's sales were not up to expectations. As a result, the group disbanded by 2003.
HE SAID SHE SAID
Velvet Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Oh Baby
Crazy Yea, Crazy
She said she'd love me forever
She told me I was the only one
She told me I'm not the only one
She said that I could believe her
He said that he wasn't with her
And it's all messin' with my head
Innuendo he said she said
I can't make up my mind
Which one is tellin lies
Is she coverin my eyes
And the truth I need to find yea
I just can't take it baby
Look what you've done to me now
You know you drive me crazy
Look what you've done to me now
Keep pushin pullin baby
Look what you've done to me now
If you don't want me baby
Can't take all this he said she said
He's in my one ear
She's in the other
Has he been faithful
Is she his lover
She said there's no need to worry
I'm scared that he's gonna hurt me
How could you do it baby?
It's killin' me inside
Which one is telling lies
And the truth I need to find
How could I be so blind yeah
I just can't take it baby
Look what you've done to me now
You know you drive me crazy
Look what you've done to me now
Keep pushin pullin baby
Look what you've done to me now
If you don't want me baby
Can't take all this he said she said
It's tearin' me apart
Quit playin' with my heart
Girl good love is so hard to find
(so hard to find)
All that I go through
You get me so confused
You're pushin' me and pullin me
Why's he saying all these things about you
I just can't take it baby
Look what you've done to me now
You know you drive me crazy
Look what you've done to me now
Keep pushin pullin baby
Look what you've done to me now
If you don't want me baby
Can't take all this he said she said
I just can't take it baby
Look what you've done to me now
You know you drive me crazy
Look what you've done to me now
Keep pushin pullin baby
Look what you've done to me now
If you don't want me baby
Can't take all this he said she said
The lyrics of Velvet Empire's song "He Said She Said" paint a picture of a tumultuous and confusing relationship filled with conflicting statements and mixed emotions. The song opens with the singer expressing frustration and bewilderment at the contradictory messages they have received from their partner, as well as doubts about the honesty and faithfulness of both parties involved. The repetition of "she said" and "he said" sets the stage for the back-and-forth nature of the communication in the relationship.
The chorus highlights the internal struggle of the singer, who is torn between believing the conflicting narratives and desperately seeking the truth. The uncertainty and confusion are palpable as they grapple with trying to discern who is telling the truth and who is lying, questioning their own perception and judgment in the process. The lyrics convey a sense of emotional turmoil and betrayal, as the singer feels manipulated and deceived by the mixed signals they are receiving.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional turmoil of the situation, with the singer feeling torn apart and heartbroken by the constant push and pull of the relationship. The mention of being "tearin' me apart" and "playing with my heart" underscores the emotional toll that the he-said-she-said dynamic is taking on the singer. There is a sense of vulnerability and helplessness as they struggle to make sense of the conflicting information and navigate the complexities of the relationship.
The repeated refrain of "I just can't take it baby, look what you've done to me now" conveys a sense of exasperation and resignation, as the singer realizes the destructive impact of the constant confusion and manipulation in the relationship. The song captures the emotional rollercoaster of love, betrayal, and uncertainty, painting a poignant picture of the challenges and complexities of communication and trust in intimate relationships.
