Lyrics for Justin Bieber – ‘What Do You Mean?”
Chorus
What do you mean? Oh, oh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean? Hey-ey
When you don’t want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Oh, what do you mean?
Said we’re running out of time, what do you mean?
Oh, oh, oh, what do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?Verse 1
You’re so indecisive of what I’m saying
Tryna catch the beat, make up your heart
Don’t know if you’re happy or complaining
Don’t want for us to end, where do I start?Pre-Chorus
First you wanna go to the left then you wanna turn right
Wanna argue all day, making love all night
First you’re up then you’re down and in between
Oh, I really want to know…Chorus
What do you mean? Oh, oh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean? Hey-ey
When you don’t want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
Oh, what do you mean?
Said we’re running out of time, what do you mean?
Oh, oh, oh, what do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?Verse 2
You’re overprotective when I’m leaving
Trying to compromise but I can’t win
You wanna make a point but you keep preaching
You had me from the start, won’t let this endPre-Chorus
First you wanna go to the left then you wanna turn right
Wanna argue all day, making love all night
First you’re up then you’re down and in between
Oh, I really want to know…Chorus
What do you mean? Oh, oh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean? Hey-ey
When you don’t want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
(I wanna know)
Oh, what do you mean?
Said we’re running out of time, what do you mean?
(Oh baby)
Oh, oh, oh, what do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?Outro
Oh, oh
(This is ours baby, yeah)
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean? Hey-ey
(You’re so confusing baby)
When you don’t want me to move
But you tell me to go
What do you mean?
(Be more straight forward)
Oh, what do you mean?
Said we’re running out of time, what do you mean?
Oh, oh, oh, what do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?
