Who's Zoomin' Who?
Aretha Franklin Lyrics

Ooh, boy, uh-huh
The singer is addressing someone who has just walked in

Ah, yeah
The singer is acknowledging the person's presence

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah, yeah
The singer is expressing some excitement about what's happening

You walked in on the sly
The person entered without anyone noticing or expecting them

Scopin' for love
The person is looking for a romantic partner

In the crowd, I caught your eye
The singer noticed that the person was checking them out

You can't hide your stuff
The person is attractive and it's obvious

(You came to catch) you thought I'd be naive and tame
The person assumed the singer was inexperienced and easy to manipulate

(You met your match) but I beat you at your own game, oh
The person made a mistake in underestimating the singer, who proved to be just as clever

(Who's zoomin' who?) take another look, tell me baby
The singer challenges the person to reconsider who's really in control

(Who's zoomin' who) who's zoomin' who?
The singer is asking who's playing whom

(Who's zoomin' who?) now the fish jumped off the hook
The person was pursuing the singer, but now the situation has flipped

Didn't I baby (who's zoomin' who?)
The singer is confirming that they've turned the tables on the person

(Who's zoomin' who?) yea-a-ah
The singer emphasizes their victory

Guess you believed the world
The person was overly confident and naive

Playin' by your rules
The person thought they had control of the situation

Here stands an experienced girl
The singer is presenting herself as someone who's been around the block

I ain't nobody's fool, uh, bump you
The singer asserts that she won't be taken advantage of

(Don't speculate) you thought you had me covered, now, boy
The person was sure they had the upper hand, but they were wrong

(I've got your bait) but you're bound to be my lover, oh
The singer has now turned the tables back in her favor

(Who's zoomin' who?) take another look, tell me baby
The singer reiterates her challenge for the person to reassess the situation

Who's foolin' who? (who's zoomin' who?)
The singer wonders if the person was ever in control or if it was all an illusion

Well, the fish jumped of the hook now, didn't I, baby?
The singer gloats about her success in turning the tables

(Who's zoomin' who?) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
The singer emphasizes her victory with a vocal flourish

You think you're smooth and you can pick and choose
The person is confident in their attractiveness and charm

When the time is right
The person assumes they can make their move whenever they want

Just look behind, you'll be surprised to find
The singer suggests that the person has misjudged the situation

Gonna make you mine tonight, oh
The singer asserts her dominance over the person, who will become her conquest

You will remember my name
The singer is confident that she's made an impression that won't be forgotten

I'm the one who beat you at your game
The singer reminds the person of her victory

Ah, take another look, tell me, sweet thing
The singer restates her challenge for the person to reassess the situation

(Who's zoomin', who's foolin', who's zoomin, who's foolin'?)
The singer suggests that it's hard to tell who's really in control

(Who's zoomin' who?) ooh-ooh, ooh boy
The singer emphasizes her victory with a vocal flourish
