Tekst piosenki
I see you watching from the trees
Who are you?
I hear the leaves fall in October
I couldn’t let it fall on my shoulder
You know that I’m the one
You can’t get over
It’ll make more sense
When you’re sober
I got you walking on a leash
While your dog’s is tapping with me
It was barely a fling so I’m asking you please
Don’t be that guy (uh-oh)
Don’t be that guy (uh-oh)
’Cause what we had came and gone and it died
Boy, just don’t be that guy
Don’t be that guy
You’re just not that guy
I got you on the sideline looking in like
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It could have been us and you say
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I know I fucked up and you say
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m stuck in your mind
Never took you for that type
Please, don’t be that guy
This woman no cry, no, no
This woman no cry, I’ll do bad on my own (uh)
I thought we had understanding
Things we said we wouldn’t mention
I let you get a shot but now you’re reaching
Can’t do leftovers
It’ll make more sense
When you’re sober
I got you walking on a leash
While your dog’s is tapping with me
It was barely a fling so I’m asking you please
Don’t be that guy (uh-oh)
Don’t be that guy (uh-oh)
’Cause what we had came and gone and it died
Boy, just don’t be that guy
Don’t be that guy
You’re just not that guy
I got you on the sideline looking in like
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It could have been us and you say
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I know I fucked up and you say
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m stuck in your mind
Never took you for that type
Please, don’t be that guy
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Najważniejszy motyw to stawianie granic. „Don’t be that guy” oznacza mniej więcej: nie bądź tym typem, który po zakończeniu relacji nie potrafi odpuścić, robi sceny albo próbuje się wpychać z powrotem do czyjegoś życia. Ogólnie to piosenka o odcięciu byłego partnera, odzyskaniu kontroli i przypomnieniu mu, że to, co było między nimi, już się skończyło.
