want that too Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
I was blindsided, couldn't see it comin'
Too young to be treated like that (Like that)
You were on somethin', cut me down to nothin'
And your knife's still stuck in my back (My back)
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep sayin' one day I'll regret it
But I don't
Prolly think one day I'll forget it
But I won't
[Chorus]
Oh, I gave you everything that I couldn't afford to lose
Now I pull myself together and you come out of the blue
Takin' all the better parts of me is all you ever do
Now the second I find somethin' good, I know that
You're gonna want that too (Mhm)
You're gonna want that too (Mhm)
[Verse 2]
Heard you're throwin' shots, watch them ricochet
I got time for everything but your shit today
I'm not waitin' for your call, but I know you will
That's the only hand left that you got to play
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep sayin' one day I'll regret it
But I don't
Prolly think one day I'll forget it
But I promise you, now I won't
[Chorus]
Oh, I gave you everything that I couldn't afford to lose
Now I pull myself together and you come out of the blue
Takin' all the better parts of me is all you ever do
Now the second I found somethin' good, I know that
You're gonna want that too (Gonna want that too; Mhm)
You're gonna want that too (Gonna want that too; Mhm)
[Bridge]
No, no, no, no
Take my innocence for weakness, take my money, I don't need it
'Cause that's all you ever wanted, didn't you?
Take my youth and fuck me over, made me realize now I'm older
Never wanna be anything like you
[Chorus]
Oh, I gave you everything that I couldn't afford to lose
And I pull myself together, you come out of the blue
Takin' all the better parts of me is all you ever do
Now the second I found somethin' good, I know that
You're gonna want that too, oh-oh
You're gonna want that too
[Section: Verse 1]
In the first verse, McRae describes feeling blindsided and mistreated by someone who took advantage of her youth and vulnerability. The imagery of a knife "stuck in her back" symbolizes the deep betrayal and ongoing pain caused by the relationship. This section sets the tone for the emotional and psychological impact of the breakup.
[Section: Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus highlights McRae's inner conflict as she is told she will regret her decisions, but she stands firm in her feelings. Despite the possibility of future regret, she emphasizes her current resolve to not forget or undo her experiences. This part of the song reflects her struggle to come to terms with her past actions and the ongoing presence of her ex in her life.
[Section: Chorus]
The chorus expresses McRae's realization that her ex-partner's pattern involves reappearing whenever she starts to move on or find something good. She reflects on how she has given everything she couldn’t afford to lose and feels that her ex is always looking to take away the positive aspects of her life. This recurring theme underscores her frustration and awareness of the manipulative behavior of her former partner.
[Section: Verse 2]
In the second verse, McRae addresses the ongoing attempts of her ex to reach out and disrupt her life. She is resolute in not letting her ex's attempts affect her and acknowledges the futility of waiting for their call. This verse illustrates her growing strength and determination to move on without being swayed by her ex's actions.
[Section: Bridge]
The bridge reflects a deeper introspection where McRae condemns the way her innocence and resources were exploited by her ex. She describes the relationship as having stripped away her youth and left her wiser but more resolute. This part of the song captures her realization and rejection of the toxic influence her ex had in her life, marking a turning point in her emotional journey.
[Section: Outro]
The outro reiterates McRae’s realization that her ex will always desire the things she starts to value in her life. It reinforces the central theme of the song, emphasizing her determination to move forward and not be drawn back into the manipulative patterns of her past relationship.
