Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been around the world, seen a lot of pretty girls
But you're the only one for me, yeah
I'm happy with my choice, and a lot of back and forth
I want your love exclusively, you and me
You and me 1 on 1
I, I want, I want you
Why can't we see the love, you and I can be as one
Quality time you and I, in the top of the crown
You're the the only one on the top if my list, the only one
I bet you by now, you're naked
(I bet you, I bet you)
Oh and your love is good when you lick it
So good to me, so damn good to me
You got me hangin' upside down and I've been around
I think you should know by now
Been around the world, seen a lot of pretty girls
But you're the only one for me, yeah
I'm happy with my choice and a lot of back and forth
I want your love exclusively, you and me
You and me 1 on 1, we can have a lot of fun
Lovin' in a first degree, lovin' and lovin'

Each and every time you rub your fingers down my spine

Oh, can he be serious, see your type of lovin' is dangerous
I can't get enough, I can't get enough

But you're the only one for me, yeah

Although I respect your opinion; how many men have you passed unbeknownst to you that would've drank your bathwater? If you would simply have given him a "ember" his fire could turn your pain to ash. Should you love him or hate him, the man laying in your bed, is the one you chose
