Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How ya doin', honey, baby
You know I don't ask for much but
For a girl spendin' time alone
Can be pretty rough
But I get a knock on my door
We can't wait for the bedroom so
We just hit the floor (sing it girl)
Is y'all alright?
I don't know
But I know what's happened to me, girl, hey (sing it y'all)
Is y'all alright?
Uh, break it down now (sing it girls)
Is y'all alright?
I don't know
But I know what's happened to me, girl
Is y'all alright?
Uh, break it down now
See you gotta work it out
See you gotta work it out
A brotha gotta work it out
Child, blow your horn now
Come on, child, blow your horn now
Child, blow your horn now
Come on, child, blow your horn now
So we shakin' back and forth now
Just keep it coming babe
Treat my body like a guitar
You got to, you got to keep on strumming babe
But in the back of my mind
(I wonder) is it gonna be the last time
Well if it ain't nobody loving and you gon' keep it coming
Well baby with me that's fine
Is y'all alright?
I don't know but I know what's happening to me girl
Is y'all alright?
Uh, break it down now (sing it, c'mon)
Is y'all alright?
I don't know but I know what's happening to me, girl (c'mon)
Is y'all alright, uh?
Huh, break it down now
See you gotta work it out (sing it)
See you gotta work it out
Brotha gotta work it out, ohh whoa
Child, blow your horn now (hey)
Come on, child, blow your horn now
Child, blow your horn now
Come on, child, blow your horn now

'Cause boy you working it out
Daddy you given me a taste of your honey
