Ashanti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a tell y'all
I'm a tell y'all a story
It's about a girl
Mmm, I can't even say a girl

She some in' more like
She's more like an angel
Hmm...
Tell you her name

Ashanti
Princess

I want to love you
I want to hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

And let me love you
Let me hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

If you touch me here
I don't mind, oh, no
And if you kiss me neck
Baby, I don't mind, oh, no

I feel this tingling feelin'
Runnin' up and down my spine
So baby, let me love you

I want to love you
I want to hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

And let me love you
Let me hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

If you rub my back
Baby, I won't mind, oh, no, mmm
And if you kiss my lips
Baby, I won't mind, oh, no

I will feel your heartbeat next to mine
And slide right past my thighs
So baby, let me love you

I want to love you
I want to hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

And let me love you
Let me hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

If you come inside
I don't mind

I want to love you
I want to hold you
Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

And let me love you
Let me hold you




Baby, I want to kiss you
I wish you would look into my eyes

Overall Meaning

In "I Don't Mind," Ashanti sings about a girl who is more like an angel than a regular girl. She can't seem to find the right words to describe this person, and it is left up to the listener's interpretation whether the song is about a specific individual or an ideal partner. Ashanti makes it clear that she wants to love, hold, and kiss this person, and she wishes that they would look into her eyes to reciprocate these feelings.


The chorus of the song talks about how Ashanti doesn't mind if this person touches her in certain ways, such as rubbing her back, kissing her neck, or even coming inside. She emphasizes that she feels a tingling feeling running up and down her spine whenever this person is around, which only makes her desire for them stronger. The bridge of the song talks about how Ashanti would feel this person's heartbeat next to hers and slide right past her thighs if they were to be intimate. The song ends with Ashanti repeating her desires and urging this person to look into her eyes so they can both feel the love they have for each other.


Overall, "I Don't Mind" is a sensual song about longing for someone and being open to intimacy with them. It doesn't provide a clear resolution to whether these feelings are reciprocated, but it conveys the intensity of desire and the willingness to take risks for love.
