Boo'd Up Lyrics

Feelings, so deep in my feelings
Notice they ain't really like me
Can't control my anxiety
Feeling, like I'm touching the ceiling
When I'm with you I can't breathe
Boy you do something to me

Ooh, don't ever get over you until I find...

    The song is simply describing how occupied she is. Her heart us occupied or filled up by the guy's love. She got boo'd up... Other man ain't got a space left..

    I interpret this song as being in love with a guy that's not good for you and the only way you can get over him is start dating someone else that makes u feel better than the ex makes you, so that you can finally stay away from the ex that's not good for you and concentrate on someone better for u

    So since Vedo came out with the remix, what is the guys meaning towards the woman when he is singing it? That's what I really want to know! It's quite obvious but hearing it from a man's point of view is just as important as hearing the woman's side!

    Her heart is so in love with this one guy,and no other guy would ever do,until she meet someone that can take his place for good.She is letting him know he got her heart,and she is truly in love with him,and she wants to build a foundation in their relationship,and she"s the one that truly love him.And he doesn't have too look any place else because she is right before his face.In other words baby you got my heart!

    I think that this song can be interpreted in so many ways.. a young lady who is in love n that who found the love of her life, got her heart broken, n the boy broke it n she loved him n she was so wrapped in him so she made a song out of him.. I also feel that she loved him so much that she was willing to work with him but he was not n she had to let him go. This my own thinking.

    She is in love with somone who isnt reciprocating the same feelings and she cant move on til she finds SOMETHING that gets her the same feeling of being on top of the world... She said SOMETHING, NOT SOMEONE. theres many things that could make u feel high, so i dont think she is specifically saying "SOMEONE NEW".. IJS

    She wants only one guy but she’s caught in between two Boos. It simply means she has her hands filled with two guys. So she’s saying she’s Boo’d Up.

    I think the song is about how she has been successful finding something new, but the old BOO can have her back if he wants her. She's enjoying the new boo, but she's addicted to the old boo

    She’s definitely talking about a partner she clearly states “oooooh I’ll never get over you until I find me something new that gets me high like you do” now if we’re so attached to a partner and they know you very well you will always look back at the ex and compare them to the new boo She’s madly in love and her drug is that one person that gets her high

    It's just that feeling you get when you really start to have feelings someone and like them a lot.

    Its kind of a condiction because in the begining of the song she clearly says I see that you like me meaning some one brand new then she goes to saying to Oohh i'll never get get over you until i find me something new meaning she cant get over her ex until she can move on but until then she focused on the new guy but still thinking about her past relationship. ..and at the very end she says This is a funny feeling because she wants to start over but on the other hand she still cant fully get over her EX...and in closing she says i dont want to get too attached but i feel like i already Am...Now you can intetpitate it how u want Aggreed then Thank you..She still attached to Her Ex B
