Oh God
Whoa

Lookin' at your last text
Damn did you even really mean it?
Did you even look through it, did you even read it?
I been breakin' up with girls since I was 15
It's the only thing that hasn't got easier
A rubber is the only thing that ever came between us
God damn, now look at everything in between us
I mean I'm sayin' I got more liquor
More ladies, more drugs and no cases
With jobs and no babies
I hope no phone saving and if so you gon' hate me

When you see me standing on the couches
Turnin' clubs into houses
Water to champagne fountains
Turn flat chests into mountains
And ooh I love that ass
But I hate that fucking outfit
I'm taking off her blouses
While she take off my trousers
That's just a couple more problems
To add to the couples' counselin'
Open that shit wide
Let me see how big your mouth is

Let me see how big your mouth is

Goin' hard 'til I OD
I'm the newest version of the old me
All my exes are old me
Wishin' they could X and O me
I'm on the edge and I'm hangin' all off
On the ledge and we danglin' off
And if I let go, I won't fall off
If we set a wedding date, don't call off
Bartender, I call the shots
We call for shots, y'all call the cops
Sometimes drinks speak louder than words do
Body language speaks louder than verbal

And we see me standing on the couches
Turnin' clubs into houses
Water to champagne fountains
Turn flat chests into mountains
And ooh I love that ass
But I hate that fucking outfit (I do)
I'm taking off her blouses
While she take off my trousers
That's just a couple more problems
To add to the couples' counselin'
Open that shit wide
Let me see how big your mouth is (oh)

Let me see how big your mouth is

This goes out to, uh




You know who this goes out to
Yeah!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Calvin Harris’ latest single featuring Big Sean titled ‘Open Wide’ explores the different aspects of a relationship that keeps going sour. The song starts with Calvin Harris feeling unsure about the authenticity of his girlfriend’s text messages, pondering if she even meant them. The heartbreaker then goes ahead to express how he has been breaking up with girls since he was fifteen, but, unfortunately, it never got any easier. According to him, the only thing that ever came between him and his lover was a rubber, and now he is left in between everything else. He goes on to say he has more liquor, more ladies, and more drugs with no cases and jobs, but he hopes no phones have saved anything incriminating that could be used against him. However, if anything has been saved, she is going to hate him forever.


The song’s chorus is a call to parties and clubs, where patrons open wide as they take shots and turn their heads up to the ceiling while dancing on the club chairs. The song continues with Big Sean rapping that he is on the edge and hanging off a ledge with his lover. He describes the feeling of freefalling as he lets go, an action in which he hopes his lover doesn’t bail on him as they’ve set a wedding date. The bar becomes the place to be, where he calls all the shot, and the rest can call the cops. The rapper then emphasizes how body language speaks louder than words, with the chorus intermittently played in the background.
