Kehlani Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I know I'm not what you need
Baby, why you trying?
Come over and comfort me
Ain't no sense in lying
Do you deserve it honestly?
We could just part ways
Find out our own destiny
Baby, baby, baby
You know I'm more than just a girl
That you can meet walking down the street
I think you know that I'm the one
That you want in your company

I'm too much of a woman
Too much of a woman
Too much of a bad ass bitch
Too much of a boss, baby, it's your loss
Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much
Four much, five much, too much for you

You told me you love me, I told you I wanna see it
You told me it's mine and I could have it when I pleases
Every night we sexing, you wearing your Jesus pieces
Like Jesus Christ himself gon' save a nigga from misleading
I want you to know that I meant that, gotta know that I sent that
Text in the middle of the night
To tell your ass how to fuck that flight
'Cause I can't sit at home on your couch
Listening to word of mouth about how you been out and about
Fucking hoes, playing out

'Cause I'm too
I'm too much of a woman
Too much of a woman (too much)
Too much of a bad ass bitch
Too much of a boss, baby, it's your loss
Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much (too much, three much)
Four much, five much, too much for you yeah yeah
Too much, three much
Four much, five much, too much for you

Too much, too much for you
Baby, yeah, yeah

Too much, too much, no
Too much, too much for you

Overall Meaning

Kehlani's "Too Much" is a strong feminist anthem that empowers women to embrace their strengths and not apologize for them. The song talks about a relationship that has ended and the singer is urging her ex-partner to accept that she is too much of a woman for him. The lyrics reveal that the singer is tired of trying to fit into a mold that her partner wants her to be in, as she knows that she is much more than just a girl that he can meet on the street. She wants her partner to acknowledge that she is her own person and he cannot change that. The singer is willing to move on towards her own destiny, even if it means letting go of that relationship.

The lyrics suggest that the reason the relationship didn't work out was that her ex-partner could not handle her strength and success. The line "Too much of a bad ass bitch, too much of a boss, baby, it's your loss, now you gotta live with it" clearly states that she is not going to apologize for being herself. She realizes that she deserves someone who can handle and appreciate all that she has to offer. The song portrays a sense of self-love and confidence that women need to have to stand up for themselves in society.
