Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever she see me shawty wonder why
But I keep coming by
Yea yea yea yea
Ya ya ya ya
Whenever I see her I get butterflies
Whenever she see me shawty wonder why
Why I always leave and then the next day I'll be coming by
I met her way back in July but now it's December
Remember there may be a thousand words in a picture
Tried to hold but I keep getting blisters
I'm all mixed up like I was playing twister
The words that she said to me her mouth it needs to be cleaned out with soap wish I knew before I kissed her
There's plenty more fish in the sea nothing special bout the one you caught wish I knew before I fished her
She tell me I'm toxic but baby I know that you're still gonna come let me know when you get here
When I was young they made fun of my big ears
I need a crib with a couple of big stairs
All by myself don't got no neighbors don't nobody live here
It must be the first day of April cause all of these niggas is clowns in the circus can't sit there
Or maybe it's December 25th them niggas ain't give me shit so I feel like the Grinch here
My favorite place is the studio I never wanna leave out I could honestly live here
My heart's a crime scene you're guilty because baby you left all your fingerprints there
I need a new heart so I'm going to Oz down the yellow brick road all the way til I get there
If I ever said that I love you I hope that you know that I mean it ain't nothing pretend here
Hope you know what I meant there
I know that I said that I won't then I went there
Going broke that's a big fear
Put the pussy my face it's professional skin care
I'm an alien come from a whole nother planet I was never born I was sent here
Love is like a rollercoaster it's not fun if you don't get scared
Whenever I see her I get butterflies
Whenever she see me shawty wonder why
Why I always leave and then the next day I'll be coming by
Shawty the coldest but I met her in the summertime
I think that I take everything way too serious really I need to have fun this time
I said I don't know when I knew but I promise baby I won't even act dumb this time
I'm tired of seeing that coal in my stocking this year it won't even get hung this time
A broken heart it could really hurt worse than a sting from a bee or a punch in the eye
I think it's time to love myself cause nobody's loving me right
Ain't nobody touching me right
I'm looking for love I see nothing in sight
I been to hell and came back I only spent a couple of nights
Whenever I see her I get butterflies
Whenever she see me shawty wonder why
Why I always leave and then the next day I'll be coming by
Shawty the coldest but I met her in the summertime
