The Other Side
1. Jason Derulo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the beginning
I never thought it would be you
When we were chillin'
Smiling in the photo booth
But we got closer (yeah)
'Til you were eating off my spoon
And coming over
And we would talk all afternoon

Tonight, we'll just get drunk
Disturb the peace
Bind your hands all over me
And then you bite your lip
Whisper and say, "We're going all the way"

Tonight, take me to the other side
Sparks fly like the Fourth of July
Just take me to the other side
I see that sexy look in your eyes
And I know, we ain't friends anymore
If we walk down this road
We'll be lovers for sho'
So tonight, kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side

This could be perfect
But we won't know unless we try (try)
I know you're nervous
So just sit back and let me drive

Tonight, we'll just get drunk
Disturb the peace
Bind your hands all over me
And then you bite your lip
Whisper and say, "We're going all the way"

Tonight, take me to the other side
Sparks fly like the fourth of July
Just take me to the other side
I see that sexy look in your eyes
And I know, we ain't friends anymore
If we walk down this road
We'll be lovers for sho'
So tonight, kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side
Tonight, we'll just get drunk
Disturb the peace
Let your love crash into me
And then you bite your lip
Whisper and say, "We're going all the way"

Tonight, take me to the other side
Sparks fly like the fourth of July
Just take me to the other side
I see that sexy look in your eyes
And I know, we ain't friends anymore
If we walk down this road
We'll be lovers for sho'
So tonight (So tonight) kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side

(Whoa) take me to the other side
(Whoa) and take me to the other side




(Whoa) kiss me like it's do or die
(Whoa) and take me to the other side (Jason Derulo)

Line by Line Meaning

In the beginning
When we first met


I never thought it would be you
I never expected to fall for you


When we were chillin'
When we were just hanging out


Smiling in the photo booth
Laughing and taking pictures together


But we got closer (Yeah)
But we started to develop feelings for each other


‘Till you were eating off my spoon
To the point where we would share everything


And coming over
And spending more time together


And we would talk all afternoon
And having long conversations


Tonight we’ll just get drunk
Tonight we will let loose


Disturb the peace
Cause a commotion


Bind your hands all over me
Get intimate and adventurous


And then you bite your lip
And tease me with your seductive gestures


Whisper and say, “We’re going all the way”
And express your desire to take our relationship to the next level


Tonight, take me to the other side
Let's take our relationship to a new level tonight


Sparks fly like the Fourth of July
There's a strong chemistry between us


Just take me to the other side
Just take me on this adventure


I see that sexy look in your eyes
I can feel your attraction towards me


And I know, we ain’t friends anymore
Our relationship is no longer platonic


If we walk down this road
If we choose to be together


We’ll be lovers for sho'
We will definitely be in love


So tonight kiss me like it’s do or die
Kiss me with passion and urgency


And take me to the other side (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
And let's explore this new level of intimacy together


This could be perfect
Our relationship could be the perfect match


But we won’t know unless we try (Try)
But we won't know if we don't take a chance


I know you’re nervous
I understand if you have reservations


So just sit back and let me drive
Just let me take control and show you what our relationship can be


Let your love crash into me
Let us be completely connected and intimate


(So tonight) kiss me like it’s do or die
So let's not hold back and show each other our true feelings
