[Intro: Tyla]
All my pride goes out the window
And never with you (Ooh)
I can’t change you, oh-ooh
[Verse 1: LISA & Tyla]
My girls told me, “Take it slow”
But they don’t know what I know

Say you need to stay composed
But they don’t know what I know

Told me, “Stay your ass at home”
But I don’t mind
Cou-cou-could’ve been a good girl, but I won’t be
I’ma turn one night to a whole week
Look at me now, I’m inside out, so wild
I’ma let you control me
Gi-gi-give it to me good like you own me
All my pride goes out the window
[Chorus: Tyla]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Oh, yeah, just look how you got me
Got me out of my body
[Verse 2: LISA]
De-de-de-dealin’, dealin’ with a certified winner
Michelin Star’s how I like my dinner
Said you wanna stick around, go figure
Everybody does, I’m what everybody wants
Everybody sees, I’m on everybody’s screens
She make everybody jump, I make everybody scream
Tell me this ain’t the baddest back to back you ever seen
I could put you on a map and she could take you overseas
Quick trip, won’t wait and I’m there for you (Oh)
Good girl, I’ll dare, but I’m bad for you (Hey)
Elevate my space and my bed for you
Anyways, any day, I make plans for you
(I like that) Like it when you tell me what to do
(I like that) Like it when you tell me, “Break the rules” (Oh)
I like that, sat of me when we get together
I’m way better
[Chorus: Tyla & LISA]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Oh, yeah, just look how you got me
Got me out of my body
When I’m with you (I need you now, no-now, no-now, no-now)
(Now, no-now, no-now, now, now, now)
When I’m with you (Now, no-now, no-now, no-now)
(Now, no-now, no-now, now, now, now)
When I’m with you (Now, no-now, no-now, no-now)
(Now, no-now, no-now)
Oh, yeah, just look how you got me
Got me out of my body
[Outro: LISA, Tyla & Both]
I must be out of my, out of my, out of my mind
Can’t tell me nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout mine (Oh, nothin’ ’bout mine)
You must be out of your, out of your, out of your mind
Can’t tell me nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout mine
I must be out of my, out of my (I must be), out of my mind (I must be)
Can’t tell me nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout mine (Mine)
You must be out of your, out of your, out of your mind (Out my mind)
Can’t tell me nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout, nothing ’bout mine
Lisa’s “When I’m With You” explores the intoxicating and rebellious nature of a love that defies reason and external opinions. The lyrics convey a sense of losing control, as Lisa acknowledges that despite warnings from her friends to be cautious, she willingly surrenders to the passion and unpredictability of the relationship. Lines like “Could’ve been a good girl, but I won’t be” and “I’ma let you control me” reflect how this connection pushes her out of her usual boundaries, making her act impulsively. The chorus, with the repeated phrase “When I’m with you,” emphasizes the idea that being with this person transforms her, making her feel free and uninhibited, as if she is completely out of her body.
In the second verse, Lisa embraces her status as someone who is desired and admired by many but makes it clear that she chooses to give her attention to this one person. She boasts about her influence and success, comparing herself to a Michelin Star dinner and acknowledging her global presence. Despite her dominance, she enjoys relinquishing control in this relationship, as seen in “Like it when you tell me what to do, like it when you tell me, ‘Break the rules.’” Finally, the outro reinforces the theme of unwavering devotion, as Lisa and Tyla declare that no one can change their minds about their love
