Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Ooh
I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
Now you want to act like ya don't know what to do
After I done everything that you ask me
Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
Move so fast, baby, now I can't find you
Ooh
I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
All that talk but it seems like ya can't come through
All them lies like you could satisfy me
Now I see where believing you got me
Gave you the wheel but you can't drive me
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Ooh
Two things I don't like when I'm tryna get my groove
Is a partner that meets me only halfway and just can't prove
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
So put it on me deep in the right direction
Ooh
You understand the facts that I'm tryna give to you
You're movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue
Didn't mama teach you to give affection?
Learn the difference of a man and an adolescent
It ain't you, boo, so get to stepping
Can you keep up? (Ooh)
Baby boy, make me lose my breath (my breath)
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
If you can't make me say ooh
Like the beat of this drum
Why you askin' for some
You ain't really want none
If you can't make me say ooh
Like the beat of this groove
You don't have no business in this
Here's your papers, baby, you are dismissed
(Come on, breathe with me)
(Huh-huh, Darkchild, come on, let's go)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Can you keep up?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Hit me hard, make me lose my breath (huh-huh)

Hit me
Get me with your best shot
Can you keep up?
Can you match my energy?
Baby boy, make me lose my breath
Make me feel dizzy with desire
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath
Make some noise to excite me
Hit me hard, make me lose my (huh-huh)
Really push me to the edge
Ooh
Expressing pleasure or delight
I put it right there, made it easy for you to get to
I made it simple for you to please me
Now you want to act like ya don't know what to do
You're playing dumb when I know you know
After I done everything that you ask me
I've given you everything you wanted
Grabbed you, grind you, liked you, tried you
I've given you everything I have
Move so fast, baby, now I can't find you
You moved too quickly for me and now you're lost
I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you
I'm starting to think that you can't handle me
All that talk but it seems like ya can't come through
You talk a big game but can't back it up
All them lies like you could satisfy me
You lied about being able to please me
Now I see where believing you got me
Now I know I was foolish to believe you
Gave you the wheel but you can't drive me
I gave you control but you can't handle it
Two things I don't like when I'm tryna get my groove
The things that turn me off when I'm trying to enjoy myself
Is a partner that meets me only halfway and just can't prove
Someone who doesn't fully commit and can't deliver
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim
Taking me on emotionally deep journeys when you're not ready for it
Need a lifeguard and I need protection
I need someone to save me and protect my heart
So put it on me deep in the right direction
Give me the right kind of love and affection
You understand the facts that I'm tryna give to you
You should know what I'm telling you
You're movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue
You're moving too slowly and clueless about what I need
Didn't mama teach you to give affection?
Didn't you learn how to love from your mother?
Learn the difference of a man and an adolescent
Learn to be a mature man instead of acting like a child
If you can't make me say ooh
If you can't please me
Like the beat of this drum
Like the rhythm of this music
Why you askin' for some
Why are you asking for my attention?
You ain't really want none
You don't really want me
You don't have no business in this
You don't belong with me
Here's your papers, baby, you are dismissed
Here's your notice, we're done
(Come on, breathe with me)
Let's catch our breath together
(Huh-huh, Darkchild, come on, let's go)
Let's keep going with Darkchild
