Don’t you know I’m no good for you?

Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin’
But nothin’ ever stops you leavin’
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own

[Verse 1]
You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that)
He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes (Like it like that)
I needed help, you booked a flight (I could lie, and say I like it like that)
In three days, you’d meet Papa (Like it like that, mm)
The waiting, the gazing
The painting, the raging
The ravin’, the pacing
The praying, the shaking
I must admit, I was breaking
I must admit, I was taking
I must admit, my heart was racing
Telephone ring, he didn’t make it
I just believed you’d awaken
A memory in the makin’
Call me
Won’t you call me? (Call)
No, you gone
Explanation of Verse 1:
Nicki Minaj introduces the absence of meeting “Papa,” possibly a father figure. Billie Eilish’s lines suggest the emotional turmoil and anticipation leading up to this meeting. The various emotions, such as waiting, gazing, painting, raging, and pacing, illustrate the complexity of the situation. The mention of a phone call and the person not making it adds a layer of heartbreak and disappointment.
[Chorus]
Don’t you know too much already? (Are you gone already?)
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
Explanation of Chorus:
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the inevitability of causing pain and the conflicting emotions associated with the relationship.
[Verse 2]
So deal, Nika, it’s real, Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that)
Don’t stress, Onika, so blessed, Onika (Like it like that)
Today, it’s 12/3/23 (I could lie, say I like it like that)
Your baby’s three, he’s the best, Onika (Like it like that)
Set me, set me, set me free
Why didn’t you come back to get me?
Let me, let me, let me be
Why would anyone want to love me?
Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
All this guilt you carry is heavy (All of this guilt is heavy)
You’ve already made your peace with me
One day, you’ll have to forgive Mommy
But she knows you know too much already (Don’t you know too much already?)
Explanation of Verse 2:
Nicki Minaj addresses herself (Nika) and emphasizes dealing with reality, stressing and blessing (Onika). The lyrics mention a specific date, possibly indicating a significant event or moment in time. Questions about love, happiness, guilt, and the burden of wealth are posed, creating a sense of introspection and self-doubt. The need for forgiveness from “Mommy” is expressed, suggesting a complex relationship with parental figures.
[Chorus]
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)

I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

Let’s just let it go
Let me let you go
