About Did Ya' Understand That

"Did Ya' Understand That" is the second and last single from Willa Ford's album Willa Was Here. The theme of the song is about a young woman whose boyfriend continuously cheats on her and leaves her waiting for him on important dates. The song is a female empowerment anthem and reveals how the young woman refuses to go through the pain that her boyfriend has caused in their relationship. She eventually tells the guy it is over and that she will never get back with him. ("I don't want you/ I don't love you/ I hit the road jack/ 'cause I'm through with you/ Did ya understand that?"). The song failed to meet any success, and she explained that is because of the September 11 attacks.

Sometimes I wish that I could be 
The person that you are 
Just for a minute, only enough 
That I can break your heart 
Can you even comprehend 
Or did you even understand 
A single word that I've said? 

I wonder why you do the things 
That, boy, you do to me 
I can't imagine why 
You treated me so horribly 
Are you listening to me 
Are you trying to ignore me 
Do I stutter when I speak? 

What ya gonna go, baby 
What ya gonna say 
I'm cutting you loose 
'Cause I got no time for you 
As a matter a fact, I won't look back 
I don't want you, I don't need you 
So let me tell you where its at 
I'm through with you 
Did ya understand that?
 
CHORUS:
I don't want you
I don't need you
So let me tell you where its at 
I'm through with you 
Can ya understand that 
I don't want you
I don't love you 
So hit the road Jack 
'Cause I'm through with you 

Did ya understand that 
Ohh... sometimes I wish 
That you could be the person that I am 
So you can get inside exactly 
Where(?) I'm feel it 
Baby, then you'd understand 
How to treat a lady 
And to be a real man 
You can't imagine what I think of 
When I think of you 
I see a sucka, not the person 
That I thought I knew 
Will you ever comprehend, no 
Baby, you can keep it going 
But I can't pretend 

CHORUS 

(I used to be the) I used to be 
(Only girl that you lived for) 
That you lived for 
You didn't need nothing more
Jaded and so confused
When I'm around you 
(When I'm around you) 
What has this got to do 

CHORUS 2X
