Read Your Mind Pt. 2 the Remix
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

Overall Meaning

In "Read Your Mind Pt. 2 the Remix," Avant expresses his attraction towards a woman he meets in a club. He establishes a connection with her when their eyes meet, and he knows that he wants her to be his queen. He suggests that he can read her mind, and willing to fulfill all her fantasies. Avant's lyrics are provocative and direct about his desire for this woman. He wants her to be physically intimate with him and is willing to go to great lengths to make it happen.

The lyrics could be interpreted as objectifying women as instruments of sexual pleasure. The lines - "So let's get in bed / And do what your mind said" - are highly suggestive and place emphasis on the physical aspect of the relationship. However, the song should be viewed in the context of R&B music, a genre that is often associated with love, attraction, and sensuality. Avant's lyrics suggest that he is willing to listen to what a woman wants and fulfill her desires, rather than imposing his own.

Overall, the song's lyrics are catchy, and the remix has a lively beat. It is a classic R&B song that showcases the genre's themes of attraction, love, and sensuality. It should be noted that the lyrics may not be suitable for all audiences, and parental discretion is advised.
