Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come here, tell me what your name is
I won’t play you but I’ll show you what game is
Shoot my shot, lemme show you what aim is
About your last name, thinking imma change it (Uh)
It’s Tanaka, wakanaka
I could be your lover
I’m the one, I’m that brother
Girl there ain’t no other
No brail, but I'm really feeling you
Come over girl, let's see what we can do
And we always on the go
Got my mind twisted when you movin in slow-mo
Sittin front row
Watchin’ as you wanna
Pull down
Throw back
Flip it
Come up
Then drop it on the flo
Baby girl come here
I’m just tryna know more
You got them heads turning
Not a preview, you’re the show
I’m trynna style with you, front cover, Vogue issue
Love the way you whine on it
Tic tock, take it slow
Girl you not like them other babes
Got me feeling some type of way
Do you mind coming with me tonight
Out in the lights, as I hold your face
Baby come and get close to me
Right here’s where you’re ‘spose to be yeah
The ending of summertime, I feel alive
Want you close to me, wooooah
It’s crazy that they can’t compare
Your beauty, girl it just ain’t fair
Cause your love, is driving me crazy
My baby
No other girl can take your place
Your presence, girl I can’t replace
Cause God blessed me with you
And I’m thankful
And I feel your vibes, tantalize
No surprise, you my perfect size
No disguise, you don’t tell me lies
When you mobilize, gimme butterflies
Ooo ooo ooo
And I like the view
We got things to do
Girl it’s me and you
Girl you not like them other babes
Got me feeling some type of way
Do you mind coming with me tonight
Out in the lights, as I hold your face
Baby come and get close to me
Right here’s where you’re ‘spose to be yeah
The ending of summertime, I feel alive
Want you close to me, wooooah
Baby I like the way you work it (I like the way you work it)
Baby Eledumare lo se (Eledumare lo seyi)
Baby I’m falling for you lately (I’m falling for you lately)
Oh baby I thank God you came my way (I thank God that you came my way)
Baby I like the way you work it (I like the way you work it)
Baby Eledumare lo se (Eledumare lo seyi)
Baby I’m falling for you lately (I’m falling for you lately)
Oh baby I thank God you came my way (I thank God that you came my way)




I thank God that you came my way
And I thank God you came my way
