1st Things 1st Lyrics

You should get your story straight before I start to doubt it
Cause if you've worn your lipstick off I want to hear about it
And telling me would be such a breeze say it if you wanna leave

Well
I think I'm getting the drift
You want some time with your friends
On the nights and weekends
You take the time for yourself
Both of us used to spend
Before you make it better
Before you make it worse
1st things 1st (that's right)

I don't think it's an accident you treat me like a dummy
Hold on hold on
Well I've been asking for the truth at least just tell me something
Hold on hold on
And telling me would be such a breeze
Let me know don't let me be
It's almost too easy

I'm holding you by the hand
More like the nape of your neck
Why don't you draw up a list
You have to frequently check
And put some things in order
And lose it in your purse
1st things 1st

I'm holding you by the hand
More like the nape of your neck
Why don't you draw up a list
You have to frequently check
And put some things in order
And lose it in your purse
1st things 1st

And all that time with your friends
On every night and weekend
You take the time for yourself
Both of us used to spend
Before you make it better
Before you make it worse
1st things
1st things
1st things
1st things 1st

this song is about a guy who senses his girl isn;'t being faithful. She wants her space and has been lying. he thinks she wants to leave him

yea...i agree with jeff. Some guy is getting suspicious about his girl cheating on him.

"You should get your story straight before I start to doubt it "

He's sick of hearing lies and different escuses

"'Cause if you've worn your lipstick off I want to hear about it "

Her lipstick is worn off because she was kissing someone else.

"And telling me would be such a breeze say it if you wanna leave"

He'd rather have her admit it, than to keep up their relationship together

"I'm holding you by the hand More like the nape of your neck"

lol...don't really get this line but it's my favorite. It's like he feels he can control her by holding on to her hand and then admits that he wants to grab her neck to keep her from seeing other guys...or maybe he feels like wringing her neck for the truth...

I think when he says

"I'm holding you by the hand More like the nape of your neck"

It seems like he wants to be equal with this girl but feels he needs to repremand her and be a babysitter for her since he can't trust her to be faithful on her own.

It's obvious what this song is about. But definitely what Maya said.
