“What You Mean” is about being infatuated with someone who’s emotionally unavailable but keeps you hanging around long enough to cause unwanted friction and frustration. Despite the sexual imagery of the lyrics, the song is not about sex as much as it is about love.
[Verse 1]
She says she's faded
What you mean, I couldn't tell
Her friends say I'm jaded
What you mean we dated?
Swerve
She gets in my crib
Got people watching
While you undress
We can if you...
What you mean you ain't faded?
[Chorus]
You know I'm gonna hurt you
I want you to want to
And I can tell that's what you want
And I can tell that's what you mean
You know you're gonna hurt me
You know I'm gonna beg you
And you can tell that's what I want
And I can tell you want it too
[Verse 2]
She says she's faded
What I mean is I can tell
She's won Oscars and I've won Grammys
You and me it's a threeway
Blow on the curves, it's the real curse
Double F stands for fake
I can't feel my face, lost in time and space
Swear to God I couldn't tell that she
Loves me more than I love myself, I'm faded
Swear she loves me more than I love myself
Fuck you mean you ain't faded?
[Chorus]
You know I'm gonna hurt you
I want you to want to
And I can tell that's what you want
And I can tell that's what you mean
You know you're gonna hurt me
You know I'm gonna beg you
And you can tell that's what I want
And I can tell you want it too
[Verse 3]
Can you feel it?
We don't even need to touch
She's watching, I'm staring
She's lusting, I'm faded
She's feeling me out, get with it
And we can all get off
It's eating you out
He's not home, I'm on you
Fuck you mean you don't love it?
And I'm like "I love you more than I love me"
When he's going I'm coming
And she's like "I love you more than I love him"
Fuck you mean you ain't faded?
[Chorus]
You know I'm gonna hurt you
I want you to want to
And I can tell that's what you want
And I can tell that's what you mean
You know you're gonna hurt me
You know I'm gonna beg you
And you can tell that's what I want
And I can tell you want it too
