You Got The Bomb
Brian McKnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember
The last time I felt this way
You're keeping a smile on my face
You know exactly how I tick
Every time I light the wick
Seems like you're ready to explode
I want you to know
You got the bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb
Just keep on blowin' me up
You got the bomb, bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb, blowin' me up

I recall
The first time I kissed your lips
(Think I'm gonna shout about it)
(Baby, there's no doubt about it)
Whenever you want me, girl, I'm there
Whatever the time, girl I don't care
I got no place to go
Baby, I know

You got the bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb
Just keep on blowin' me up
You got the bomb, bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb, blowin' me up

Every day and night I pray
You'll never take your love away
You're all that I want, all that I need
You got the bomb
You you got it, you got it, you got it
The bomb
Keep on blowing me up
You got the bomb
Just can't get enough
You got the bomb, bomb




You got the bomb, baby
Can I hear you
