Jack & Jill
Avant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a surprise,
Don't run and hide,
Le'me take you on a ride.
First we'll go to Cleveland,
Where kissin' and huggin'
Is what we'll do.
And make it hot and steamy
Please believe me
Next we'll go to New York
And with your thighs
I'll treat you like a queen
Next we'll go to Chicago
Where bumpin' and grindin'
Is no joke
Baby, I'm jack
You can be Jill
I want to carry you up my hill
We don't have to run and hide
To make love
We can go to any city
That you think of
Baby, I'm Jack
You can be Jill
I want to carry you up my hill
We don't have to run and hide
To make love
We can go to any city
That you think of
Next we'll go to Atlanta
In room 112
I'll make your body melt
Next we'll go to DC
I'll do it deeply
But take it easy
Next (ah lemme see)
We'll go to Huston
There's no illusion
What we'll be doin'
Next we'll go to Philly
While I'm feelin' you
I know your feelin' me
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm jack
You can be Jill
I want to carry you up my hill
We don't have to run and hide
To make love
We can go to any city
That you think of
That you think of
Oh, girl
You and me
Me and you
All alone
In a room
You will see
A lot of things
You never seen
Oh, babe
Yes, I'll have you tremblin'
Baby, it should be sin
What I'll do to you
It's so true
If I had it my way
We'll make love
Till the day
Next fight LA
[Chorus: x2]
It's the end of the song
So everybody that's freaky
Get yer freak on
