This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
The Truesteppers
Who do you think you are
Telling me I've gone too far
You must be out of your mind
Telling your friends I was bugging you
That you weren't playing true
Slippin out of your mind
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
You're out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
Thinking you were someone special
Time has shown and now I know
How wrong I have been
Always feeling
That you're using me
Confusing me
Two-timing me
I can't remember
How long has it been
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
You're out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
You sing a song and people jump on you
What this guy is saying can't be true
All I'm saying is that some girls don't trip
Stop bugging and mugging if you wanna flip
I like the Spice
Open your eyes
Gril you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
You're out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
Truesteppers, you're out of your mind
Ice Cream, you're out of your mind
10-Below, you're out of your mind
Dane, you're out of your mind
This tune's gonna punish you
Who do you think you are
Telling me I've gone too far
You must be out of your mind
Telling your friends I was bugging you
That you weren't playing true
Slippin out of your mind
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
You're out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
Thinking you were someone special
Time has shown and now I know
How wrong I have been
Always feeling

I can't stand the Spice Girls or this song. The lyrics have less value then the group.
If you hate them so much then why are you looking up lyrics to their songs?
The Spice Girls are funny.. :D I used to be obsessed with them..
The Truesteppers Feat. Dane Bowers with Victoria Beckham (née Adams). This isn't technically a Spice Girls song since she was close enough left by then...
Wtf, this is a Victoria Beckham song, CUNTRAG
