Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But before I bring him out, I want all the ladies
Come on, ok ok ok ok, Come on all my ladies in the place today
Come on, ok ok ok ok, Come on all my sexy ladies sing along with me (come on)
Don't make me call the police
It's a crime the way you bend them knees
From the table to the floor, spin it up and do it slow
Ain't nothing but money to me
So sweet but you ain't nothing but hunnies to me
Shorty get you sexy dere sipping on the cavasier
Stylin up in the VIP, plannin to roll out with me
Knowing that she's gonna come back
As if she's up on my reindeer
You know that she'll never want to come back
So I add her to my hall of fame here
Bet your man can't do it like this (tell the truth girl)
Bet your man can't do it like this (its all on you girl)
Come on, When the Time's Right
I'd like to come over and get to kno ya
Try to get closer, (Come on)
When the Time's Right, I'd like to come over
And work ya over, across your sofa
Come on, Is it ok if I come over, Come on
That way I can get to kno ya, Come on
Let me get a little closer, Come on
Do you all over your sofa, Come on
When I walk in the club with all the ladies so fly
Gotta work that body so beautifully make you want to cry
That body could do whatever, that's no lie
Gotta make it to gettin bigger makin me want to slide
Up under my apple tree, better yet you on top of me
Switch it over let me bust all over you and not me
Your so sexy, gotta punish you wit the first degree
Ain't no stoppin the body rockin until we fall asleep
Come on, When the Time's Right
I'd like to come over and get to kno ya
Try to get closer, (Come on)
When the Time's Right, I'd like to come over
And work ya over, across your sofa
Come on, Is it ok if I come over, Come on
That way I can get to kno ya, Come on
Let me get a little closer, Come on
Do you all over your sofa, Come on
I can tell by the way you act so hard you like my type of n*****
Better bang in the back of the jeep and put a puncture in your liver
I can tell by the way you act so soft you like my type of n****
Better get romantic with ya make love to ya by the river

Let me be your teacher baby girl cause you in the wrong cla**

Line by Line Meaning
Don't make me call the police
Don't make me overreact to the way you dance
It's a crime the way you bend them knees
Your dancing is so good it should be illegal
From the table to the floor, spin it up and do it slow
You can dance anywhere and any style, slow or fast
Give it up to all my n****s on the corners spending dough like
Acknowledging the people working hard and spending money in the streets
Ain't nothing but money to me
Money is just a tool for me and I value it more than anything else
So sweet but you ain't nothing but hunnies to me
The ladies are attractive but I don't value them more than money
Shorty get you sexy dere sipping on the cavasier
Having a good time, enjoying a drink and feeling confident
Stylin up in the VIP, plannin to roll out with me
Enjoying a luxurious lifestyle and planning to leave with me
Knowing that she's gonna come back
She'll always come back for more
As if she's up on my reindeer
She's attached to me like a reindeer to Santa
You know that she'll never want to come back
She'll never want to leave me again
So I add her to my hall of fame here
I keep her as a memorable and valuable part of my life
Bet your man can't do it like this (tell the truth girl)
I'm confident that my skills are better than any other guy, agree?
Come on, When the Time's Right
Let's take things slow and work on our timing
I'd like to come over and get to kno ya
I want to get to know you on a more personal level
Try to get closer, (Come on)
Let's take this opportunity to get closer
And work ya over, across your sofa
Let's get intimate and make some memories
When I walk in the club with all the ladies so fly
A confident entrance to the club surrounded by attractive ladies
Gotta work that body so beautifully make you want to cry
I need to show everyone how good you are at dancing
That body could do whatever, that's no lie
Your body is capable of anything, it's amazing
Gotta make it to gettin bigger makin me want to slide
We have to keep dancing and making it better, it's exciting
Up under my apple tree, better yet you on top of me
Intimate moments with each other in a private setting
Switch it over let me bust all over you and not me
Changing positions for a more pleasurable experience for you
Your so sexy, gotta punish you wit the first degree
You're so attractive that we have to take things to a higher level
Ain't no stoppin the body rockin until we fall asleep
The dancing and intimacy won't stop until we're both exhausted
Hey hey hey, So tell me what the dealy girl, hey hey hey
Let's have an open and honest conversation, what's up?
When I get to go inside you girl, hey hey hey
When we finally become intimate, it will be amazing
Remember there is no rush girl, hey hey hey
We'll take things slow and do it right, no need to rush
Gotta get you with tha masta
I have to show you my skills and become the master of our intimacy
Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on
Let's go for it, no holding back
