Amerie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you've been around the world,
And you'd seen alot of girls,
But, you ain't neva seen a girl (look so fly like),
Now you've rolled through some hoods,
There's some girls that look good,
But, you ain't never seen a girl (look so fly like),
& you partied in some clubs
& some girls show you love,
But, you ain't never seen a girl look so fly like me
Baby, But chu never had a girl look so fly like me.

Now I'd done been around the world thought I'd seen it all
Er color, er shape, what I need and all,
Switch like seasons, when the summers, spring, & fall,
& back seat of my jeep, I'm chrome veet & all.
On the hunt for these girls were like my day to day,
I get em alone I jump em and then fade away,
I give it good so some of them won't stay away,
They try to lock me up, but I break away.
& to the day I lay my eyes on the princess,
& yu can tell she was a dime from a distance,
It took a minute to come to my senses,
She's the perfect match and God is my witness,
Now for the first time I've opened my eyes,
Put the glass in the air, now I toast to the sky,
Feels like I'm in heaven, & I'm hopin' to fly,
Baby girl come along for the ride, yu know why cuz I....

Now you've been around the world,
And you'd seen alot of girls,
But, you ain't neva seen a girl (look so fly like),
Now you've rolled through some hoods,
There's some girls that look good,
But, you ain't never seen a girl (look so fly like),
& you partied in some clubs
& some girls show you love,
But, you ain't never seen a girl look so fly like me
Baby, But chu never had a girl look so fly like me.

Now I ain't neva had a girl that was so fly,
Other guys come around, you actin' so shy,
You got em shakin' in their boots, and I know why,
Cuz they can't handle the truth and that's no lie,


As for me, I'm the one that you been dreamin' on,
& wen yu saw me I'm the one that yu were steamin' on,
& when yu need it I'm the shoulder that yu would be leanin' on,
Take off that Gucci and keep them vickie secrets on,
Let's take a flight because the world is our playground,
And buy houses from the lou, to the A-Town,
It's silk sheets so it's soft when yu lay down,
Ching-a-ling yea, I get down, and stay down,
There's no one better baby girl you'sz a blessin',
You got me headin' in a positive direction,
You got my vote, when yu re-up for election,
Cuz all I wanna do is give you love and affection.

Now you've been around the world,
And you'd seen alot of girls,
But, you ain't neva seen a girl (look so fly like),
Now you've rolled through some hoods,
There's some girls that look good,
But, you ain't never seen a girl (look so fly like),
& you partied in some clubs
& some girls show you love,
But, you ain't never seen a girl look so fly like me
Baby, But chu never had a girl look so fly like me.

Why yu wastin' your time, & boy, runnin' the streets,
When you can just come to me? [huh]
You know I got what you need,
I got what you want,
Boy, won't you come and see?
What if you never, [seen] a girl like me ever, [like me before]?
Won't you come inside, let me keep it dry,
Cuz, I'm, so, flyyyyy.

Now you've been around the world,
And you'd seen alot of girls,
But, you ain't neva seen a girl (look so fly like),
Now you've rolled through some hoods,
Theres some girls that look good,
But, you ain't never seen a girl (look so fly like),
& yu partied,in some clubs
& some girls show you love,




But, you ain't never seen a girl look so fly like me
Baby, But chu never had a girl look so fly like me. [x2]

[Verse 1: Amerie]
Funny how it's hard to find the words sometimes, you know
Wishin' we could read minds
Don't wanna let our feelings show
So even if you say you don't understand
I'm willing to give as much time as I can
'Cause every time our eyes meet

[Chorus]
Every time our eyes meet
Be talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me (talkin' to me)
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin', to me
Just ain't no need for words to speak (oh)
'Cause every time be talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me
Be talkin', talkin', talkin' to me (talkin' to me)

[Verse 2]
You're always actin' so composed and cool
Never got too many words for me (too many words)
You always turn your head and make sure I see (just to make sure)
Baby, ain't nothin' wrong with the love
That you and I dream of; so sweet
Your actions say more than your lips can speak
My friends say that they just can't see (they just can't see)
How a love unspoken can be so deep (can be so deep)
And every time that you look my way
I see what your heart wants to say to me


[Chorus with minor alterations] x2
Every time our eyes meet (oh yeah)
Be talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me (talkin' to me)
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin', to me
Just ain't no need for words to speak (Ain't no need for words)
Cause every time
Be talkin', talkin', talkin' to me (no no no no no)
Be talkin', talkin', talkin' to me

Every time our eyes meet (my eyes meet your, meet yours)
Be talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin', to me (to me)
Just ain't no need for words to speak, 'cause every time
Be talkin', talkin', talkin' to me (every touch you give is like you're talkin' to me)
Be talkin', talkin', talkin', to me

[Bridge]
Oh yeah, yeah, oh
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin', to me
Oh, whoa, yeah
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me

[Chorus]
Every time our eyes meet (every time)
Be talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' to me (oh yeah, oh)
Just ain't no need for words to speak
'Cause every time (I hear you baby callin' me just ain't no need for words)
Be talkin', talkin', talkin' to me
Be talkin', talkin', talkin' to me


[Outro]
No need for words
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh

The best way to describe this song is as an absolute roller coaster. It starts relaxed and groovy, super chill. Then crescendos into screaming lyrics, BOOMING bass, and STAYS at that high level throughout! And only relaxes at the very end, when the song allows you to catch your breath and smooth out, once again. A MASTERPIECE.

Tonika

This girl is underrated, she’s so talented and deserves more recognition.

Jay P

Amerie has a unique sound that will never get old!
