Lisa – Born Again (Doja Cat & Raye) Lyrics (with Meaning)

Ooh If you tried just a little more times
I would’ve made you a believer
Would’ve showed you what it’s like
Every single night (Night)

Explained: If you had put in just a little more effort, I could have convinced you and shown you how amazing things could be every single night.

In the car, top down, black shades on, uh
(Lookin’ so good, can I add?)
And I just broke up with my man, like mm
(A very, very silly, silly man)

Explained: I’m driving with the top down, wearing black sunglasses, looking great. Also, I just ended things with my boyfriend because he was quite foolish.

One ex in the passenger seat ’cause I’m done
(Done, yeah, never, ever goin’ back)
Down, down, rude boy, get your foot up on my dash
Got all the receipts, I’m a businesswoman

Explained: My ex is sitting in the passenger seat, but I’ve moved on and won’t go back. I’m in control, handling things like a boss, and keeping track of everything like a businesswoman.

Little bit of heartbreak, a little bit of “How could you do that?”
A little bit of talkin’ out your ass
A little bit of “Look at what you had but could not hold”
And that’s on you, baby, too bad

Explained: There’s some heartbreak and disbelief over what happened. You talked nonsense, and now you’ve lost something great that you couldn’t keep—your loss, not mine.

I’m about to make it heard as I vroom-vroom
Ice-cold how I leave you ’lone, but please
Tell your mother I’ma miss her so

Explained: I’m moving on loudly and confidently. I’m leaving you behind without emotions, but I’ll miss your mother because she was kind.

If you tried just a little more times
I would’ve made you a believer
Would’ve showed you what it’s like (Like)
Every single night

Explained: If you had put in more effort, I could have convinced you of how great things could have been every night.

To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could’ve made you pray to Jesus
Would’ve showed you to the light

Explained: If you had stayed a little longer, I could have completely changed your perspective, making you believe in something greater and guiding you toward the right path.

Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

Explained: I could have transformed you and given you a fresh start, making you see things differently every night.

Non-believer, you’ve bitten from the fruit but can’t give back
Nice to leave ya, but I would be a fool not to ask
Do your words seem gospel to ya now?
(Your words seem gospel to you now?)

Explained: You took what you wanted but never gave anything in return. I’m glad to be leaving, but I still wonder—do you now believe in your own words like they are the ultimate truth?

Keepin’ me strong, choosin’ to carry on after one
Too many lies would be wrong, so wrong
Said, he popped tags on my shoppin’ spree
Stayed mad when I showed him all the long receipts

Explained: I’m staying strong and moving forward because too many lies would just be unbearable. He enjoyed spending money on me but got upset when I showed him how much it really cost.

They laugh, but you crash out like a comedy
I can’t be your sugar mom, get a job for me, shit
(Ah, so) Boy, let go
Or let me live happily forever after more

Explained: Others might find this funny, but your downfall is no joke. I can’t keep supporting you like a provider—go get a job. Either move on or let me live my life in peace.

I hope you learned somethin’ from a lil’ fiasco
You played the game smart lettin’ lil’ me pass go ’cause
If you tried just a little more times
I would’ve made you a believer

Explained: I hope you took a lesson from this mess. You played it safe by letting me move on, but if you had put in more effort, I could have made you believe in me.

Would’ve showed you what it’s like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights

Explained: I could have shown you what real love and change feel like, making you experience something life-changing every single night.

I could’ve made you pray to Jesus
Would’ve showed you to the light
Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

Explained: If you had stayed a little longer, I could have transformed you completely, making you believe in something greater and guiding you to the right path.

Seasoned like the cinnamon the way I’m gettin’ rid of him
I’m only gonna make you need religion at the minimum
And I’ma do it diligent, I’m lookin’ for a synonym
I’m tryna find the words to tell him I ain’t even feelin’ him (I pray)

Explained: I’m letting him go smoothly, like adding spice to a dish. At the very least, I’ll leave such a strong impact that he’ll feel like he needs divine help. I’m carefully choosing my words to tell him I don’t have feelings for him anymore.

Don’t ever let me be deficient in
Wish that you could wake up and then take me like a vitamin
I learned the hard way to let go now to save my soul (Oh)

Explained: Don’t let me feel like I’m not enough. I wish you realized my worth and valued me like something essential. But I’ve learned the hard way that letting go is the only way to protect myself.

If you tried just a little more times
I would’ve made you a believer
Would’ve showed you what it’s like (Like)
Every single night

Explained: If you had put in more effort, I could have changed your perspective and shown you what real love feels like every single night.

To be born again, baby, to be born again
If you stayed just another few nights
I could’ve made you pray to Jesus
Would’ve showed you to the light

Explained: If you had stayed longer, I could have transformed you, making you believe in something greater and guiding you toward a better path.

Every single night (Every night)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

Explained: You could have had a fresh start and a new perspective every night if you had given us another chance.

Baby, to be born, oh, baby, baby, to be born again
To be born again, baby, to be born again
Baby, to be born, oh, baby, baby, to be born again (Yeah)
To be born again, baby, to be born again

Explained: This is about renewal and transformation—getting a second chance at life, love, or understanding, but it’s too late now.
