Want Me Lyrics – Chlöe & Halle

[Verse 1: Chlöe]
In this verse, Chlöe talks about someone who is always there for her, ready to support and comfort her. However, she contrasts this person with the one she truly desires, who remains distant and unresponsive. The verse highlights the emotional disconnect between what she has and what she wants.

[Refrain: Chlöe]
The refrain describes how the attentive person constantly compliments Chlöe, sends her flowers, and spends time with her. Despite this, the person she truly desires disappears for days without any communication, leaving her feeling ignored and undervalued.

[Chorus: Chlöe]
The chorus reflects Chlöe’s frustration with the situation, questioning why the people we don’t want seem to pursue us, while those we love and trust end up leaving. She struggles with understanding why the person she wants doesn’t feel the same way, making it hard for her to accept that the relationship might not be meant to be.

[Verse 2: Chlöe]
In this verse, Chlöe reveals that when the attentive person expresses their feelings, it turns her off, but if the person she desires did the same, it would excite her. She contemplates the idea that maybe she is to blame for the situation, as she acknowledges the stark difference in how she feels about the two individuals.

[Refrain: Chlöe]
This refrain repeats the earlier one, emphasizing Chlöe’s ongoing frustration with the situation. The repetition underscores the persistent nature of her emotional turmoil, as she continues to feel neglected by the one she truly wants.

[Chorus: Chlöe & Halle]
The chorus repeats, with Halle joining in to reinforce the message. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the emotional conflict and confusion Chlöe feels, as she continues to grapple with the unreciprocated feelings from the person she desires.

[Bridge: Halle]
In the bridge, Halle reflects on how things have changed. She recalls a time when the person she now desires was once eager to pursue her when she was emotionally guarded. Now that she has opened up to them, they seem less interested, leading to feelings of confusion and disappointment.

[Refrain: Halle]
Halle echoes Chlöe’s earlier refrain, but with a shift in perspective. She notes how the attentive person’s actions used to be meaningful and fulfilling, but now, with the desired person’s absence, she finds herself turning to the person she didn’t initially want.

[Outro: Chlöe, Halle, Chlöe & Halle]
In the outro, Chlöe expresses that the words "I love you" from the attentive person don’t mean much to her. However, if they came from the person she truly desires, it would mean everything. This section captures the deep emotional longing and the bittersweet reality of unrequited love.
