Read Your Mind Part II
Avant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had to do a remix for the ladies
Can you blame me?

I stepped in a club in your hood
I slowly turned left and there you stood
You and your friends talking
But when our eyes connected I knew then
It was just like two-ways on beam

I'm your king be my queen
So whatever you wanna do,
Don't this remix feel like who

I can read your mind babe
I know what you're thinking
And it's alright with me
It's alright, yes

I can read your mind babe
I know what you're thinking
Girl I'm off in your head
So let's get in bed
And do what your mind said, who

So baby take a ride with me
And I'll fulfill all your fantasies
And when the rain starts pouring down
Then all the love that's lost will be found
I'll make your mind lose control
Over your body that's my goal
So baby just come down here
And let the gravity who, who

I can read your mind babe
I know what your thinking
And it's alright with me
It's alright, yes

I can read your mind babe
I know what you're thinking
Girl I'm off in your head
So let's get in bed
And do what your mind said

I know you wanna rub me
Know you wanna touch me
Know you wanna feel me
Baby keep it real
Know you wanna see
Know you wanna be
In my B.E.D. we'll be getting freaky

I know you wanna rub me
Know you wanna touch me
Know you wanna feel me
Baby keep it real
Know you wanna see
Know you wanna be
In my B-E-D we'll be getting freaky

I can read your mind babe
I know what you're thinking
And it's alright with me
It's alright,yes

I can read your mind
I know what you're thinking
Girl I'm off in your head
So let's get in bed
And do what your mind said, who

Wanna love baby
Wanna feel you
If you come, If you come

Wanna love baby
Wanna feel you

Line by Line Meaning

I had to do a remix for the ladies
I created a new version of this song to specifically appeal to women

Can you blame me?
Can you really fault me for wanting to make music that resonates with a certain demographic?

I stepped in a club in your hood
I entered a nightclub in your neighborhood

I slowly turned left and there you stood
When I turned my head to the left, I saw you standing there

You and your friends talking
You and your friends were engaged in conversation

But when our eyes connected I knew then
But as soon as our eyes met, I had a feeling

It was just like two-ways on beam
Our connection was as strong and direct as a two-way radio signal

I'm your king be my queen
I want to be the ruler of your heart, while you are my partner and supporter

So whatever you wanna do,
You are free to do whatever you desire

Don't this remix feel like who
Doesn't this new version of the song evoke a certain feeling?

I can read your mind babe
I am able to understand your thoughts, my love

I know what you're thinking
I understand the ideas and desires that fill your mind

And it's alright with me
I accept and approve of what you're thinking

It's alright, yes
It is completely okay

Girl I'm off in your head
I am constantly on your mind, my darling

So let's get in bed
Let us go to bed together

And do what your mind said, who
And engage in the intimate acts that your thoughts are suggesting

So baby take a ride with me
Come along with me, my love

And I'll fulfill all your fantasies
And I will make all of your dreams and desires come true

And when the rain starts pouring down
And when the rain begins to fall

Then all the love that's lost will be found
We will rediscover all of the love we have lost

I'll make your mind lose control
I will cause your thoughts to run wild with passion and desire

Over your body that's my goal
My ultimate objective is to please you physically

So baby just come down here
So baby just come here to me

And let the gravity who, who
And succumb to the pull of gravity and our mutual attraction

I know you wanna rub me
I know you desire to caress my body

Know you wanna touch me
I know you want to feel my skin against yours

Know you wanna feel me
I know you want to experience every inch of me intimately

Baby keep it real
Don't hold back; be honest and authentic with me, my love

Know you wanna see
I know you want to look at me with desire and longing

Know you wanna be
I know you want to be with me

In my B.E.D. we'll be getting freaky
In my bed, we will engage in risque and adventurous behaviors

Wanna love baby
I want to love you deeply, my darling

Wanna feel you
I want to physically feel your warmth and intimacy

If you come, If you come
If you join me here with me
