Drake – Doing It Wrong lyrics
[Verse:]
When a good thing goes bad it's not the end of the world
It's just the end of a world, that you had with one girl
And she's the reason it happened, but she's overreacting
And it's all because she don't want things to change


[Hook:]
So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do
Cause you say you love me, and I'll end up lying
And say I love you too

But I need someone different
You know it, oh ho, you know it
Oh ho, you know it, we both know it
I need someone different
You know it, oh ho, you know it
Oh ho, you know it, we both know it
Something's been missing
You know it, oh ho, she knows it
Oh ho, I know it, we all know it
I need someone different
(Oh ho, oh ho)

[Verse 2:]
We live in a generation of, not being in love, and not being together
But we sure make it feel like we're together
Because we're scared to see each other with somebody else

[Hook:]
So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do
Cause you'll say you love me and i'll end up saying I love you too

But I need someone diiferent
You know it oh oh, You know it oh oh, You know we both know it
I need someone different
You know it oh oh, You know it oh oh, you know it we both know it
Somethings been missing
You know it oh oh, She knows it oh oh, I know it we all know it
I need someone different

[Outro - Stevie Wonder Harmonica]

    I think this song goes perfect for the position I'm in. My boyfriend left me after 5 years for something he over reacted about. Uhm. My meaning to this song is, that you can love someone so much, and want to do things with them still like love them and hug them, but you know all of it is wrong. Also you know that its the right thing for you to move on.

    He knows that the woman he is with is not the one for him. He talks about the fact that many of us are in relationships that have nothing to grow on. We make it seem as if we are together, but it's because we don't want to see each other with someone other than ourselves. It's a goodbye song that many of my peers will embrace. He made a good point.

    What Drake is conveying in this song is the heartbreaking truth that we become accustomed to the people we are with. Our generation is scared of change and going after something better, even when they know a relationship is not working. This whole song is Drake basically saying he can't console the girl who he ;eft in order for them both to move on, and that it's okay to allow change.
