Matt Simons – With you Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop

Dear future husband,1
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if you wanna be
My one and only2 all my life
Take me on a date3
I deserve a break
And don’t forget the flowers every anniversary4
‘Cause if you’ll treat me right
I’ll be the perfect wife5
Buying groceries
Buy-buying what you need6
You got that 9 to 57
But, baby, so do I
So don’t be thinking I’ll be home and baking apple pies8
I never learned to cook
But I can write a hook9
Sing along with me
Sing-sing along with me (hey)
You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I’m acting crazy
Tell me everything’s alright10
Dear future husband,
Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if you wanna be
My one and only all my life
Dear future husband,
If you wanna get that special lovin’11
Tell me I’m beautiful each and every night12
After every fight
Just apologize
And maybe then I’ll let you try and rock my body right13
Even if I was wrong
You know I’m never wrong
Why disagree?
Why, why disagree?14
You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I’m acting crazy
Tell me everything’s alright
Dear future husband,
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if you wanna be
My one and only all my life (hey, baby)
Dear future husband,
Make time for me
Don’t leave me lonely
And know we’ll never see your family more than mine15
I’ll be sleeping on the left side of the bed (hey)16
Open doors for me and you might get some kisses17
Don’t have a dirty mind18
Just be a classy guy
Buy me a ring
Buy-buy me a ring, babe19
You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I’m acting crazy
Tell me everything’s alright
Dear future husband,
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if you wanna be
My one and only all my life
Dear future husband,
If you wanna get that special loving
Tell me I’m beautiful each and every night
Future husband, better love me right20
5The context for this song is set early. Meghan Trainor is writing a fun, silly song for her future husband, asking him to treat her well.
“One and only” is someone that a person stays with forever.
Meghan Trainor asks her future husband not to slack on romance.
Thoughtful gestures are important to a woman.
A marriage is a two-way street, according to Meghan Trainor.
Although Meghan Trainor sings about somewhat traditional male and female roles in the marriage, she emphasizes companionship, thoughtfulness, and reciprocity.
A “9 to 5” is a full-time job.
Meghan Trainor is saying she doesn’t want to be “just a housewife.”
“A hook” is a catchy part of a song. Meghan Trainor is saying she’s a good musician.
It’s the man’s duty to comfort his beloved.
Special lovin’ can refer to sex, but the connotation here is not intended to be “dirty.”
Words of affection are an important part of marriage.
This refers to make-up sex.
Sometimes it’s better to calm one’s ego and let one’s spouse “win” the argument.
In-law relations can strain a marriage, so Meghan Trainor is laying down the law well ahead of time.
In other words, a man should allow his lady to be picky.
The listener is led to believe Megan Trainor might sing “head” (meaning “oral sex”), but she says “kisses” instead.
That is, don’t always think about sex.
Giving gifts is a must.
“Dear Future Husband” is a plea for men to treat their ladies well.
