Yeah somethin’ tells me
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
Yo’ intuition has been tellin’ you
Things that you never knew (never knew)
Rubbing shoulders with bitches I used to put on pedestals
But still I keep it professional
Laying in the bed and you acting like I can’t even touch you
I don’t know why you do that
Shower with the door open, why you do that?
Drop the towel right in front of me, you cruel
What’s goin’ on baby, talk to me baby
Say it to me straight, did I make a mistake?
And I can’t concentrate while you’re standing there naked
Acting strange, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah somethin’ tells me
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
Yeah somethin’ tells me
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
My intuition has been telling me
Trust what you said to me
You ain’t never really felt love ’til you slept with me
I’m busy, it’s no wonder you upset with me
You found a Magnum inside of my bag
Don’t know how to explain this
That was in there way before we started dating
This the only music I hate facing, oh
Lay down baby I’mma take it slow
Can’t let this thing go to waste, oh no
Before we crash, hit the brakes, oh no
Call, then I got to your place, oh no
Still getting voicemail, oh no
Fuck it, leave a voicemail, oh no
Hey, looks like we’re at the end of the road
Yeah somethin’ tells me
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
(Somethin’ tells me)
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
Yeah somethin’ tells me
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
We ain’t gon’ last baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You know I feel like you know what I’m about to say)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(You know what I’m about to say, huh)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(Can we make it work, huh
Can we make it work
Let’s make it work
Let’s make it work, yeah)
I know we can make it work
Let’s make it work
We can make it work, come on
Unraveling Uncertainty in Love
“Somethin Tells Me” by Bryson Tiller captures the fragility and doubt that can seep into a relationship when trust begins to erode. Through candid storytelling, Tiller expresses the emotional disconnect and suspicion that both partners feel. The repetition of the hook, “We ain’t gon’ last baby,” underscores a sense of inevitability, as if both are bracing for the end. The verses detail moments of vulnerability and tension—missed calls, awkward silences, and confronting uncomfortable truths. Tiller’s introspective lyrics reflect the struggle between holding on and letting go, highlighting how gut feelings and miscommunications can lead to a relationship’s breakdown. The song resonates with anyone who has faced the painful realization that love might not survive, despite best efforts.
