Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He′s over your head
He's under your bed
I′m on my knees
Bubba bite my tongue
He won't let you down
He's all over town
I like the way that you book
I like the way that you boogie
Don′t look down the stair
He′s already there
Whos got the keys to my kingdom
Pappa speed demon
I like the way that you book
I like the way that you boogie
He's fresh outta cash
He′s ridin my ass
I like your walk do you like my run
Who's got the keys the keys to my kingdom
You wanna ride wanna ride dream on
Pappa speed pappa speed demon
Between the prayers
I′d like to find ya
I see your flares and i see your fire
If you get scared baby pop a rhonda
Wash your hair just don't get any on ya
I like the way that you book
I like the way that you boogie
He′s already down
He's fresh outta town
I like the way that you book
I like the way that you boogie
He's leaving you home alone
You already know you know
I like the way that you book
