Over It
Lyrics
Katharine McPhee
And I'm over your games.
I'm over you asking me,
When you know I'm not okay.
You call me at night,
And I pick up the phone.
And though you've been telling me,
I know you're not alone.
Oh..
That's why
(Your eyes)
I'm over it
(Your smile)
I'm over it
(Realize)
I'm over it
I'm over it
I'm over..
Wanting you,
To be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
Because I'm so over...
Moving on, it's my time,
You never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
But now I'm so over.
I'm so over it...
I'm over your hands,
And I'm over your mouth.
Trying to drag me down,
And fill me with self-doubt.
Oh...
That's why,
(Your words)
I'm over it
(So sure)
I'm over it
(I'm not your girl)
I'm over it
I'm over it
I'm over...
Wanting you,
To be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
Because I'm so over...
Moving on, it's my time,
You never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
But now I'm so over.
I'm so over it...
Don't call,
Don't come by,
Ain't no use,
Don't ask me why,
You'll never change,
There'll be no more crying in the rain.
Wanting you,
To be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
Because I'm so over...
Moving on, it's my time,
You never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
But now I'm so over.
I'm so over it...
I'm so over it....
I'm over it....
Wanting you,
To be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
Because I'm so over...
Moving on, it's my time,
You never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
But now I'm so over.
I'm so over it...
Song facts
"Over It" is the first single released from the eponymous album by Katharine McPhee, the American Idol season five (2006) finalist. The song was reportedly described by McPhee as "the only real pop song on the record" and as being "a very sultry song about young love". The song was produced by Billy Steinberg and Josh Alexander, and written by Alexander, Steinberg and Ruth-Anne Cunningham, the writers of JoJo's "Too Little Too Late". The song is available for listening via online music services such as AOL and MySpace, courtesy of RCA Records. McPhee has since stated that this was not "her favorite song" and she did not want her "song to be something that she was a part of."
In the song, McPhee sings over a sultry beat driven by acoustic guitars about letting go of the person one loves because one does not share the same feeling. The narrator complains about how their lover cheats on them, and is betraying their trust.
The song is somewhat tongue-in-cheek in that McPhee describes several qualities about her ex-boyfriend, while at the same time she seems to fixate on them, showing she is not fully over him.
"Over It" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 48 on the chart for the week ending February 17, 2007. It peaked at number 29 on the Hot 100. The song also peaked at #21 on Pop Radio. The song has sold over 645,000 downloads to date and was certified Gold in 2008.
