I see you windin' and grindin' up on the floor
Acknowledgment of a woman's dance moves.

I know you see me lookin' at you and you already know

Grab you by your coattail

Take you to the motel, ho sale

Don't tell, won't tell
The man wants to keep this rendezvous a secret.

Baby say, "I don't talk Dogg"

Then she told on me, oh well

Take a picture with me, what the flick gon' do?

If you pick me then I'ma pick on you

And I'ma get me a shot 'fo the end of the night

Shorty, I can see you ain't lonely

Handful of, and they all got cheese

See you looking at me, now what it's gon' be?

Just another tease far as I can see

Tryna get you up out this club

If it means spendin' a couple dubs
The man is willing to spend money on the woman to get her to leave the club with him.

Throwin' 'bout 30 stacks in the back
The man is willing to throw a lot of money around for this woman.

Make it rain like that 'cause I'm far from a scrub

Girl, I spend money like it don't mean nothin'

And besides, I got a thing for you

Girl, and while you're looking at me, I'm ready to hit the Caddy
