Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm down, I get real down
When I'm high, I don't come down
I get angry, baby, believe me
I could love you just like that
And I could leave you just as fast
But you don't judge me
I would judge you too no, you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby
I would judge you too
'Cause I got issues but you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em
Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you
You do shit on purpose
You get mad and you break things
Feel bad, try to fix things
But you're perfect poorly wired circuit
And got hands like an ocean
Push you out, pull you back in
'Cause you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby
I would judge you too no, you don't judge me
'Cause you see it from the same point of view
'Cause I got issues but you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em
Yeah, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you
(I got issues, you got 'em too)
And one of them is how bad I need you
(I got issues, you got 'em too)
'Cause I got issues (I got)
But you got 'em too so give 'em all to me
(You got 'em too) and I'll give mine to you
Bask in the glory (I got issues)
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
(You got 'em too) it takes to solve 'em
Yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you
(You got 'em too)
Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)
And one of them is how bad I need you
(You got 'em too) yeah, I got issues (I got)
And one of them is how bad I need you
In Marie White's song "Issues," the lyrics express feelings of jealousy, emotional highs and lows, anger, and the complexities of love and relationships. The singer acknowledges their flaws and insecurities by admitting they have issues, but they also recognize that their partner has their own set of problems too. Despite the imperfections, they have the kind of love that allows them to share and solve these issues together.
The opening lines, "I'm jealous, I'm overzealous," reveal a sense of possessiveness and intensity in the singer's emotions. They experience extreme highs and lows, indicating a rollercoaster-like emotional state. When they're in a good mood or feeling high, they don't want to come down. Conversely, when they're feeling down, they sink even deeper. The singer admits to easily getting angry but asserts that they're capable of loving intensely and leaving just as quickly.
The lyrics highlight the importance of non-judgment and understanding in their relationship. They assert that their partner doesn't judge them, and if they did, the singer would also judge them in return. This suggests that the singer values acceptance and reciprocity in their love.
The chorus emphasizes that both individuals in the relationship have issues, and they are willing to share and support each other through them. They talk about "basking in the glory of all our problems," implying that they find strength and closeness in confronting their issues together. The final lines express a deep longing and dependency on their partner, admitting that one of their issues is how much they need them.
