This song is about lack of communication and misunderstanding between a man and a woman. On'es own assumptions of what the other one is assuming. Throughout the song they are playing mind games as if they know each other.
They don’t
[Intro]- (Laughter)
[Hook]
We don't (6X)
Know each other, we don't
We don't (4X)
[Verse 1]
I hit her up during late hours
She's thinkin' it's to fuck; I just think 'bout her
So in her mind she looks at it like a bad try
So in my mind she looks at me like the last guy
See in her mind he's the reason that she's too strong
But in my mind that's the reason she ain't moved on
'Cause in her mind mami waitin' for a perfect man
Now in my mind that's gon' only get her hurt again
While in her mind she's thinkin' I'm tryin' to run game
She don't believe when I'm honest, 'cause everyone ain't
So in my mind I think it's because she loved lames
But in her mind she's not ready for what love brings
And in her mind she's not ready, yet, for something new
But in my mind that's just code word for "other dudes."
'Cause in her mind she thinks she will never find change
And we both playing mind games...
Like we know each other...
"We Don't"
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Now in her mind I'm somewhere out here pursuing hoes
When in my mind I'm on my way to the studio
But in her mind every girl I know a groupie, though
So in my mind she ain't had nobody true before
In her mind not everything that I do's cool
So in my mind; something real she ain't used to
'Cause in her mind she think I'm in it to dick her down
When in my mind, really, I just wanna stick around
(And we don't)...
Know each other like we need to
But we both can agree that we need to
And in her mind she wants someone that can see who...
She really is. With her guards up, I see through
(But we don't)...
Know each other like we should now
'Cause in her mind she thinks everyone that's good's found
And in my mind I think I would never find change
And we both playin' mind games...
Like we know each other...
"We Don't"
[Hook]
