Make Up
Vice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here girl
Vice (ha-ha, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Uh, so tired of the back and forth
Walk out and I slam that door
Go looking for someone new
But there's nothing better than sex with you
Hell naw, now we can't be friends
We ain't got all the benefits
Never been a jealous dude
But who the hell is that texting you?

I'm feeling like this is the opposite of love
But we know opposites attract
I want ya, bad
It's so dysfunctional between the two of us
You tell me this'll never last
You want me, back

Girl, we should go our separate ways (yeah)
Just so that we can make up (oh)
I'll keep making the same mistakes, yeah
Just so that we can make up
Just so that we can make up

Pick up when I hit your line
Break up, then I call you mine
Never been a lonely girl
But let me know I'm the only girl (you're the only girl)
Too quick with the clap-back (clap-back)
Love your attitude
Leave me like I'm right-back (right back)
Like ya always do

I'm feeling like this is the opposite of love
But we know opposites attract
I want ya, bad
It's so dysfunctional between the two of us
You tell me this'll never last
You want me, back

Boy, (talk to me) we should go our separate ways
Yeah (slow down girl)
Just so that we can make up (oh)
I'll keep making the same mistakes, yeah
Just so that we can make up (sheesh)
Just so that we can make up

O-o-oh babe (Derulo)
(Yo, yo) I want ya ba-a-a-ack
Girl, boy, girl, boy
You want me ba-a-a-ack

Girl, we should go our separate ways, yeah
Just so that we can make up (oh)
I'll keep making the same mistakes, yeah
Just so that we can make up




Oh oh Just so, just so we
Just so that we can make up

Overall Meaning

The song "Make Up" by Vice featuring Jason Derulo is a catchy tune that captures the complicated dynamics of a dysfunctional relationship. The lyrics portray the ups and downs of a couple who constantly break up and make up. The opening lines - "Come here girl, So tired of the back and forth" - set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is frustrated with the constant cycle of breaking up and getting back together. He wants to move on and find someone new, but he can't resist the allure of his ex-partner's affection.


Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the complexities of their relationship. They both know that they are not good for each other, but they can't seem to let go. This is evident in the lines - "I'm feeling like this is the opposite of love, But we know opposites attract, I want ya, bad, It's so dysfunctional between the two of us, You tell me this'll never last, You want me, back." The singer recognizes that their attraction is more like an addiction than true love.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the push and pull between the two partners. They keep breaking up, only to make up again. The lines - "Girl, we should go our separate ways, Just so that we can make up, I'll keep making the same mistakes, Just so that we can make up" - depict the cycle of their relationship. They both know it's not healthy, but they can't seem to break free.
