Um

I doing it for you baby
This is for my ladies
Yeah yeah

Lesson one,
One and one make two
Baby just me and you
We won't need no pencil
We won't need no pens
I want to get inside your mind
And make you feel me deep within

I want to take you to love school
You can be my beautiful
Lesson two,
And even though we just met
You're the teacher's pet
And girl I want to school you
On something you'll never forget
We won't need no desk baby
We can just use the floor
And won't be loud talking
But you can speak to me nice an low
Oh baby though teachers ain't suppose to flirt
But I am the one that's grading your work
Don't worry about the things that you miss
Cause I'll make sure you make the deans list.
[Chorus]
Class is now in session
This is what I want to do when I'm making love to you
First let me subtract the clothes right off your back
Then when you relax

And when I get between your thighs I'll make you multiply

In the first verse, he talks about how he wants to connect with his lover and become one with her. He says he wants to get inside her mind and make her feel him deep within. The chorus repeats the phrase "I want to take you to love school, you can be my beautiful," reiterating that the song is a tribute to women.
In the second verse, he explains how his lover is like the teacher's pet, and he wants to teach her something she will never forget. Here he talks about the importance of the experience rather than space and things. He says they won't need a desk but instead can use the floor, as he is going to give her an experience that makes it worth remembering, and he will make sure she makes the dean's list. In the final verse, the singer gets more explicit, explaining how he wants to subtract her clothes and add something interesting to make her multiply.
Overall, the song uses the metaphor of school to represent the art of making love, where he is the teacher and his lover is the student. The song has a smooth, sensuous beat that captures the mood of the lyrics. It is a tribute to women but also a song about love, sensuality, passion, and intimacy in relationships.
