Sometimes I get my head in a dilly
Feeling so lost, ticking you off
Now boy, you know me well
Said, I'm that kind of feeling
That kind of soft, that kind of silly
But when I'm in doubt, I open my mouth
And words come out, words come out like
Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
High in the sky, the song that I'm singing
A sweet little lie, I cry wolf, cry
Rabbit out the hat, yes that's what I'm bringing
Some tricks up my sleeve, for noticing me
I wouldn't cause you any harm, I just want you in my arms
I can't help, I can't help myself
Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
(Better be soon)
Right is right
Rules are rules
This is more like April Fool's
I'm just winding you up, oh
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Please don't make too much of it
It ain't that serious
Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
You better get here soon
Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
Feeling so lost, ticking you off
Now boy, you know me well
Said, I'm that kind of feeling
That kind of soft, that kind of silly
But when I'm in doubt, I open my mouth
And words come out, words come out like
Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
High in the sky, the song that I'm singing
A sweet little lie, I cry wolf, cry
Rabbit out the hat, yes that's what I'm bringing
Some tricks up my sleeve, for noticing me
I wouldn't cause you any harm, I just want you in my arms
I can't help, I can't help myself
Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
(Better be soon)
Right is right
Rules are rules
This is more like April Fool's
I'm just winding you up, oh
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Please don't make too much of it
It ain't that serious
Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
You better get here soon
Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

metaphors to more or less say;"he's a cheating bastard".
she refers she wants him in her arms and can't help herself- staying with someone when you know it the wrong thing to do
caught them!!! barking at the moon - she caught them in the act
right is right, rules are rules - there's a certain set of standards you need to follow in a relationship like being faithful
jack be nimble jack be quick- more you better be quicker and stealthy if you don't want me to find out, too late I already do.
and Finally "Baby there's a shark in the water" - I'm after you I know what you
re doing
Also in the video VV Brown never had a happy expression it was more neutral and slightly upset like a "I got you asshole" expression
-And at the very end of video she puts a picture on his door and takes off her necklace and bracelet - maybe jewelery HE gave to her
-when he opened the door he looked really upset. Like he knew, that he messed up.
Sometimes I get my head in a dilly
Feeling so lost, ticking you off
Now boy, you know me well
Said, I’m that kinda feeling
That kind of soft, that kind of silly
(What she’s saying is that sometime’s she gets confused because the person she’s with is telling her “I’m that kinda feeling, that kind of soft, that kind of silly” but even though he compliments her she’s in doubt about his feelings towards her.)
But when I’m in doubt, I open my mouth
And words come out, words come out like
baby, there’s a shark in the water
There’s something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
baby, there’s a shark in the water
(When she says that she “opens” her “mouth”, she’s telling him about her feelings, maybe she feels like there’s someone else, hence the shark or something underneath her bed.)
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
High in the sky, the song that I’m singing
A sweet little lie, I cry wolf, cry
Rabbit out the hat, so that’s why I’m bringing
Some tricks up my sleeve, for noticing me
I wouldn’t cause you any harm, I just want you in my arms
I can’t help, I can’t help myself
(He’s telling her that she’s only imagining things or that she’s over reacting and there’s nothing to worry about so maybe that’s why she feels like she’s “Crying wolf”, he tells her that she’s only saying that to get attention but she knows she isn’t which Is why she says “I wouldn’t cause you any harm, I just want you in my arms. I can’t help, I can’t help myself.”)
baby, there’s a shark in the water
There’s something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there’s a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do ,do)
(Better be soon)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do x2)
(She’s telling him that she isn’t making anything up and that she knows there’s someone else because she “caught them barking at the moon.” Maybe by saying “Better be soon” she’s thinking he will stop things between him and the other girl because she knows about them, but he doesn’t.)
Right is right
Rules are rules
This is more like April fool
I’m just winding you up, oh
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Please don’t make too much of it
It ain’t that serious, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(She’s telling him that she won’t be with him any longer because “Right is right, rules are rules” and she feels like she deserves better. He still denies it but she tells him “Please don’t make too much of it, It aint that serious” because she has been knowing all along so she’s moved on emotionally and she is done with that relationship.)
Baby, there’s a shark in the water
There’s something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there’s a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
You better get here soon
Baby, there’s a shark in the water
Baby, there’s a shark in the water
Baby, there’s a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon
(She tells him that there’s no point in denying it because she already knows what that “shark in the water” and “something underneath my bed” was.)
(So long story short, basically she leaves him for cheating on her.)
Verse1 !
shes telling him how sometimes she gets confused .! And Bcuz He Knows Her So Well He Should See Somethings Not Right .! And When He Doesnt Notice How's Shes Feeling She Say's Things that she means but doesnt mean to tell him.
Chorus !
By The Shark she means him like he's a lying snake hes out to hurt her hes the shark bcuz in the video he's cheating on her and lying abt it... as yhu can see in the video he's looking out for her trying to see if shes around. He's Under Her bed meaning the shark is sleeping in her bed but by him cheating he's beneath it
Verse 2 .!
The Song Is True To Her Thats Why It Hi. He's Lying He's The Wolf Then When She's Done Hes Going To Cry Wolf. She's Going To Play Trick On His MInd. Bcuz He Didnt Noice How Good To Him She Was Good To Him. Basically He Didnt Notice What She Was. She Wouldnt Harm Him Like Hes Harmed Her All She Wanted Was To Make Him Happy And He Hurt Her . And She Cant Help How Much She Love him
Verse 3 .!
shes saying that right i right and he was was wrong he broke all of the rules this by it feeling like april fools bcuz he fooled her and she believed in him and winding him is making him pay for it now. Now Hes Upset And Shes Lwtting Him Know Shes Over It.
