Brandy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have
To wait no more
Found what
I was looking for
With you
I will spend my life
Standing by your side
At home
Standing
By the telephone
Now that I have you
I won't let you go
I will give you
All of me
Baby
Chorus:
You make me feel so good
(So good)
I always knew you would
Touch my spot
Make it hot
All over me
(Yaay)
You make me feel so good
(So good)
I always knew you would
Be the one
To give me somethin'
I need it now
You make me feel so good
Baby I want you
When you hit the lights
Every time
You spend the night
In the morning
I always want some more
I can't get enough of you
My baby
I love the way you feel
You know
You got sex appeal
I can't help it
I can not say no
You know
You have all control
Everytime you touching me
(Everytime you touching me)
If I'm dreaming
Please don't wake me up
(No)
Babe
You mean so much to me
I want
To give you my all
Bring you close to me
There is no where else
I want to be
When you touch me
It sets me free
You take me up
I don't want
To come down
(Chorus)

She no longer has to wait for someone to call or come into her life because she has found that one special person who makes her feel complete. It's evident that the singer's lover brings her much happiness and contentment, as he fills her life with excitement and passion. Their sexual encounters bring her to new heights, and she can't get enough of him. She is willing to give him all of herself, just to stay by his side, and he is the one person who has total control over her. His touch sets her free, and she gets lost in the feelings that he stirs up within her.

I've been waiting
I have been waiting for the right person to come into my life
I don't have
There's something missing in my life that I do not have yet
To wait no more
Now that I have found you, I don't have to wait anymore
Found what
I have finally found what I've been looking for
I was looking for
The missing piece in my life that completes me, I have found it in you
With you
Being with you

I will dedicate my life
Standing by your side
Being there for you whenever you need me
No more lonely nights
I don't have to spend any more nights alone

Standing
Waiting

Babe
Endearment for my lover
You mean so much to me
You are important and valuable to me

When you touch me
When you make physical contact with me
It sets me free
It makes me feel liberated and unburdened
You take me up
You elevate and lift me up

I do not desire
To come down
To return to reality or to be apart from you

THIS SONG IS THE DEFINITION OF TRUE R&B. FROM THE RIFTS, THE VOCALS, THE *LYRICS*. THIS SONG TAKES ME TO A DIFFERENT PLACE. Thank You Brandy for sharing your gift with us. It's such a shame how all her unreleased stuff could've been top singles!
randlejayp
NYexcellence right!!! A TOP single, I'm confused how they got scrapped. Musta been a tough decision
Dark Sky Paradise
@randlejayp Especially when you hear some of the songs that actually made the albums. Smh
Blk Aura
