Whatcha Say Lyrics
Wha-wha-what did she say
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Jason DeRulo)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
I was so wrong for so long
Only tryin' to please myself (myself)
Girl, I was caught up in her lust
When I don't really want no one else
So, no, I know I should have treated you better
But me and you were meant to last forever
So let me in (let me in)
Give me another chance (another chance)
To really be your man
'Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star, we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me, girl
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (whatcha say, whatcha say)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say, (whatcha say, whatcha say)
Wha-wha-wha-wha-what did she say?
How could I live with myself
Knowing that I let our love go (love go)
And ooh, when I do with one chance
I just gotta let you know
I know what I did wasn't clever
But me and you were meant to be together
So let me in (let me in)
Give me another chance (another chance)
To really be your man
'Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star, we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me, girl
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (whatcha say, whatcha say)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say, (whatcha say, whatcha say)
Wha-wha-wha-wha-what did she say?
Girl, tell me whatcha said (said)
I don't want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin'
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I really need you in my life
'Cause things ain't right, girl
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I don't want you to leave me

kinda desecrates imogen heap, but catchy nonetheless.
"Mmm, whatcha say Mmm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did Mmm, whatcha say Mmm, that it's all for the best? Of course it is"
When I hear that all I can think of is that it's sarcasm. That she really doesn't believe that he meant well when he cheated on her. Just my thought.
Love that clip of Hide and Seek anyways. Totally makes the song.
I agree so much. It's not about a couple making up after he cheated on her, he's trying to make things right with stupid excuses but she's not buying into it.

I just wish that on iTunes it would say "ft. Imogen Heap". Which it doesn't. So all these ignorant people are like "OH MY GOSH HE'S SO GOOD." when it's like, no hunny, Imogen Heap is what makes this song.
So, so true.
So, so true.
FINALLY someone who agrees with me! love love love Imogen. Jason Derulo, not so much. Get some originality.

I definitely agree. It makes me so angry when people sing this song and I ask them about Hide and Seek and they've never heard it.

Another pet peeve of mine is when you hear a good song and then all of a sudden you hear someone start rapping in it.

Welcome to the world of "sampling" in mainstream/top 40 music, my friend. It's a world where talentless artists mooch off of talented ones, and take all the credit. Imogen Heap probably makes 0.5% of all the profits from "Whatcha Say", even though her part makes the entire song.

Of course, people like you and me hate this; but Jason DeRulo and his record label don't care at all, since they're making bajillions off of Imogen Heap, and because we're a minority

totally agree with what SpunkySkunk said.
totally agree with what SpunkySkunk said.
This song is quite stupid, honestly. He's saying he cheated on her, but he'll be "living so large" that she should forgive him? So just because he's going to be famous, it's okay to cheat on her?
That is a stupid reason, honestly. Nothing makes cheating right.
I tend to think that the lyrics in pop music these days is a bunch of uninspired, meaningless garbage sprinkled with a little sugar. This song is a prime example.

In the original song, the "Mhm, whatcha say?..." parts are actually spiteful ands sarcastic. Imogen speaks with contempt towards someone who hurt her when she speaks those lines. However, in this, apparently the speaker is trying to get a girl to come back to him. Completely opposite meanings...

Totally ruined Imogen Heap's song. Took a completely beautiful song about the tragedy of the Holocaust and turned it into this rap, cheating bullshit. Unbelievable.
Hilarious lyrics. So let me get this straight, you cheated on her and now you want her back because some day you will be a star? Lol. Insanely bad, and just another tune that adds to the deconstruction of Hip Hop, thank you Jason Derulo.
Are you serious! Well, I'm one to talk..let me re-explain this..
"So, no I know I should've treated you better But me and you were meant to last forever" -so according to jason he DID know that she deserves beter but BECAUSE we were suppose to last forever it's fine to cheat. seems sensible ya?
"So let me in (let me in) give me another chance (another chance) To really be your man Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out I just didn't know what to do But when I become a star we'll be living so large I'll do anything for you (for you) So tell me girl"
watcha say watch say watcha say...ya i dont understand either..
"How, could I live with myself Knowing that I let our love go (love go) And ooh, when I do with one chance I just gotta let you know I know what I did wasn't clever But me and you were meant to be together" -And back to not being clever but we need to be together.
"Girl, tell me whatcha said (said) (said) I don't want you to leave me Though you caught me cheatin' Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said) (said) I really need you in my life Cause things ain't right, girl Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said) (said) I don't want you to leave me Though you caught me cheatin' Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said) (said) I really need you in my life Cause things ain't right" -I think things aren't right BECAUSE of what he did, and from that im just gonnna forgive him because i pity that things aren't as swell as they were because he was cheating on me.
in conclusion -highland- was 100% correct here
No girl should have to let a guy back in her life after he's cheated on her, especially 'when he only meant well'.
This song reminds me of me and my ex boyfriend (yet another story)
I'd been with my ex for over a year, and I ended up catching him cheating on me, like walking in on, and they'd been together for apparently nearly 2 weeks. This would have normally ended with me leaving him, being angry for ages, and not talking to him again but I was 4 months pregnant with his child when this happened.
For me, I felt like my heart had been broken, my baby's father had been seeing another girl. Like no girl deserves to feel like that.
Not only that, this girl was really shocked to see me, like she had no idea why me, a pregnant girl was getting angry at my ex, turns out he never told this girl he was in a relationship, and that his partner was also pregnant. She's not seeing him anymore either, I could even see by her face she was horrified at him.
His reason for cheating, he was thinking about himself, and what he wanted, I was pregnant and sex wasn't a priority to me.
He then tried to get back with me, saying it was for the best, he wouldn't do it again, I was the only one for him, he just needed it.
Needless to say I am no longer with him, I didn't deserve to go through what I did, and no one else does.
I'm now 8 months along, and am looking forward to seeing my baby daughter for the first time, she is the only thing I don't regret from that relationship.
Wow, I'm really impressed! Don't give up! Never!
Wow, I'm really impressed! Don't give up! Never!
Bulshit you cheated to you sneaker creeper yeah I know exsacly who you are so why don't you come to my room ay we can talk face to face !!!!
