T-Shirt
ÌìÃüÕæÅ®ºÏ³ªÍÅ Destiny's Child Lyrics

Hey baby
Introducing the singer's desire to show her partner her outfit

I wish you could see what I have on right now
Expressing the singer's wish that her partner were present to witness her attire

You so sexy
Complimenting the partner's sex appeal

Imagine how intense it would be
Prompting the partner to picture the intensity of their physical connection

To hold me right now
Expressing the artist's desire for physical closeness

Our song's playing
Noting that a song special to the couple is currently playing

At night, when you're far and I'm alone
Describing the singer's feeling of aloneness when separated from the partner

I feel the fabric from your t-shirt
Revealing that the artist has kept a tangible reminder of the partner's presence

Close to my body
Clarifying where the t-shirt is being held

I can still hear your baritone
Evoking the partner's voice in the artist's memory

In my ear telling me you'll take it slow
Recalling a promise of patience and tenderness from the partner

And I was in the mirror playing a roll
Imagining herself in the role of a seductress

Like you work it, I couldn't turn me on
Acknowledging that the singer's own efforts at arousing herself were unsuccessful

So I fell asleep with the music on
The singer eventually fell asleep, entranced by the music and thoughts of the partner

Woke up again hearing the same old song, playing
The singer awakens to the same song, a reminder of her separation from the partner

(Oh) give it to me deeper
A plea for the partner to deepen their intimacy

(Oh) giving me the fever
Describing the overwhelming passion the artist feels

(Oh) now you got my feet up
The singer is fully surrendered to her partner's desires

This one is a keeper
Reassuring the partner that this is a worthwhile relationship

Now the second verse is playing
The song continues, further evoking memories of the partner

(Oh) we tried to stand up
Acknowledging a shared difficulty in maintaining composure during intimacy

(Oh) hold me why while my hands up
Describing the physical closeness of the partners, with the artist raising her hands in surrender

(Oh) and the music picks up
The music intensifies, evoking a corresponding intensification of the partners' passion

Fantasies were shook up
The partners' shared desires become more vivid and powerful

I'm thinking to myself again
The singer becomes lost in her thoughts and fantasies

When you're not here (I sleep in your t shirt)
The singer continues to hold the partner's t-shirt as a source of comfort and remembrance

I wish you were here (to take off your t shirt)
Expressing the singer's desire to physically reunite with the partner

After we make love (I sleep in your t shirt)
The partner's t-shirt remains a reminder of their recent physical connection

Wake up in your t shirt
The artist wakes up with the t-shirt still close by

Still smell the scent of your cologne
The scent of the partner remains attached to the t-shirt

Outside I hear the rain on my windowpane
Describing the setting of the singer's present experience

Hold up a minute, thought I heard your name
The artist momentarily mistakes an unrelated sound for the partner's voice

My mind, playing tricks on me again
Reflecting on the artist's tendency to become lost in thoughts of the partner

I hear knocks at the door, is that baby home
The artist anticipates the arrival of the partner

Why couldn't it be reality
The singer experiences a moment of doubt and longing for the reality of the partner's presence

Looked at the clock it says 4:03
Describing the lateness of the hour and the anticipation of the partner's arrival

At nine he'll be arriving on a plane
Anticipation of the partner's eventual arrival

Then we'll be making love and hearing the song again
Looking forward to physical intimacy with the partner accompanied by the special song

Oh boy I've been waiting
The singer is anxious and eager for the partner's arrival

Now my body's shaking
The artist is feeling overwhelmed with emotion and anticipation

You're so deep, baby please, take it easy
The artist pleads with the partner to go slowly and take care during intimacy

I look at your face and
The singer gazes intensely at the partner's face

Got my heart racing
The singer is feeling intense physical and emotional arousal

Keep it right there
The artist urges the partner to maintain their current actions

You driving me crazy
The artist is feeling overwhelmed with desire and excitement

When you're not here (I sleep in your t shirt)
Repeating the artist's persistent longing for the partner's presence

I wish you were here (to take off your t shirt)
Repeating the singer's desire for physical reunion with the partner

After we make love (I sleep in your t shirt)
Repeating the artist's satisfaction with keeping the partner's t-shirt after recent intimacy

Wake up in your t shirt
Repeating the singer's experience of waking up with the t-shirt still close by

Still smell the scent of your cologne
Repeating the singer's attachment to the scent of the partner's cologne
