Anna Mae Lyrics
What's temporary? Me or you?
You want me here to stay (Stay)
But your situation tells me that it’s a waste of time
But never mind all that, mmh
Boy, I'm serious
You know you don't have to play
I’m already on the way
You ain't gotta say shit
So he set the mood on some love shit
Made a couple jokes about fuckin', yeah
Might've kissed few times but never made a move on no cut shit
Just enjoyed the time that we had laid aside to be numb in
[Chorus]
All alone, we turned off our phones all the way
Your girl drivin' your ass insane
And you know my nigga don't play shit (Oh)
I say, "Babe, what we gonna do?" (Oh)
And you say, "We'll have our cake and eat it too"
Too, our cake and eat it too, ah
Ah, yeah, our cake and eat it too, too
Our cake and eat it too, ooh-woah
[Outro]
It's not the right time but
You say the timing is perfect
You want me to ride for you, on you, with you, my babe
You want me to lie
Say, "No, I haven’t seen this guy"
We doin’ the most
Takin' pictures you know we can’t post
Can't post
No, no, no, no, no (Oh)
All alone, we turned off our phones all the way
Your girl drivin' your ass insane
And you know my nigga don't play shit
About
The title comes from the very popular Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock) biopic, “What’s Love Got To Do With It.” The infamous “Eat the cake Anna Mae” scene, a very dramatic and toxic one, is the one Summer is referencing where Ike proclaims he loves Tina but smashes cake into her face and assaults one of the backup singers while Tina insists that it is all okay.
“Anna Mae” is a song about two people (probably Summer and London) who are obviously in relationships with other people, but finding everything they are missing in those relationships in each other. They haven’t quite made the connection solid with sex (Made a couple jokes about fuckin', yeah) but emotions and hormones are running high.
Summer’s man and the guy’s girl are both wondering where they are and they are both nervous and wondering what will be their next move, but all they want to do now is “have their cake and eat it too.”
