I WANNA BE DOWN
Brandy featuring Queen Latifah Yoyo & McLyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kind of girl that you could be down for
'Cause when I look at you
I feel something tell me
That you're the kind of guy that I should
Make a move on
And if I don't let you know
I could be wrong but I feel
Like something could be going on
The more I see you
The more that it becomes so true
There ain't no other for me it's only you
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down down
I want to be down with you down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down
I know anybody's gonna be lonely
Without the reason they got someone
To care for
Maybe all you need's a shoulder to cry on
If that's a fact then I'll be more
Than you ever could dream of
If all you need is my time
That I got plenty of
I'll dedicate all my loving to you only, baby
I want to stay by your side
Be there to cool you out
And let you know everything will be alright
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down
I want to be down with you down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down
I want to be down with you, down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down
Down, down, down, oh yeah
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down
I want to be down with you down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down
I want to be down with you, down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down
I want to be down with you, down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down
I want to be down
With what you're going through
I want to be down
I want to be down with you down with you
No matter the time of day or night
It's true, I want to be down

I would like to get to know if I could be
I want to know if I have a chance with you
The kind of girl that you could be down for
The type of girl you can support and be there for
'Cause when I look at you
Every time I see you
I feel something tell me
My intuition is telling me
That you're the kind of guy that I should
You're the right kind of guy for me to
Make a move on
Take a chance with and pursue a relationship
And if I don't let you know
If I don't express my feelings to you
Then I won't be for real
I won't be honest or true to myself
I could be wrong but I feel
I may be mistaken, but I sense
Like something could be going on
That there could be a connection between us
The more I see you
Every time I see you
The more that it becomes so true
The more confident I am that we belong together
There ain't no other for me it's only you
You're the only one for me
I want to be down
I want to be with you
With what you're going through
With whatever challenges you're facing
No matter the time of day or night
Regardless of the time, day or night
It's true, I want to be down
I really do want to be with you
I know anybody's gonna be lonely
I understand how everyone can experience loneliness
Without the reason they got someone
Without having someone to care for and support them
To care for
To show love and compassion towards
Maybe all you need's a shoulder to cry on
Perhaps all you require is someone to comfort you
If that's a fact then I'll be more
If that's what you need, I'm willing to be
Than you ever could dream of
More than you can imagine
If all you need is my time
If the only thing you need from me is my attention
That I got plenty of
I definitely have enough of that to give you
I'll dedicate all my loving to you only, baby
I'll pledge all my love and affections exclusively to you, my dear
I want to stay by your side
I want to be with you always
Be there to cool you out
To calm you down and soothe you when you're upset
And let you know everything will be alright
And assure you that everything will be fine
Down, down, down, oh yeah
Down for you, always

A lot of people have it twisted. Not everyone who's a tomboy is a lesbian. Not everyone who is girly is straight either. It's a style. And I loved it in this era.
@Khadielovesscents
I just loved the realness of females back in the 90’s. Natural beauty
