Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh my, oh my

In a room full of dimes
You would be a hundred dollars
If bein' fine was a crime
Girl, they'd lock your lil' fine ass up in a tower
The way you move like you do
Ooh, it's like you do it for a livin'
Do a lil' spin, do it again
Shit, look like you playin' for the win, oh, baby

I'm tryna roll, I'm tryna ride
I'm tryna float, I'm tryna glide
No, no, don't be shy, just take my hand and hold on tight

Oh, skate to me, baby (skate)
Slide your way on over (slide your way on over)
Oh, skate to me, baby (skate)
I wanna get to know ya (I wanna get to know ya)
Come on
Oh my, oh my

Got your hair in the wind and your skin glistenin'
I can smell your sweet perfume
Mmm, you smell better than a barbecue
Oh, superstar is what you are
I'm your biggest fan
If you're lookin' for a man, sugar, here I am
Ooh

I'm tryna roll, I'm tryna ride (I'm tryna vibe with ya darlin')
I'm tryna float, I'm tryna glide
Oh, no, no, don't be shy, just take my hand and hold on tight

Oh, skate to me, baby (skate)
Slide your way on over (slide your way on over)
Oh, skate to me, baby (skate)
Uh, I wanna get to know ya (I wanna get to know ya)

I never fall, but tonight you got me fallin' for you
And only you, you
I'm reachin' out in hopes that you reach for me too
Girl, let's groove
Girl, you got me singin', "Ooh"
My, oh my, my, oh my
My, oh my, my, oh my

Oh, skate to me, baby (skate)
Come on, slide your way on over (slide your way on over)
Oh, skate to me, baby (skate)
Ah, I wanna get to know you, girl (I wanna get to know ya)
Skate to me, my baby (skate)
Just slide your way on over (slide your way on over)




Oh, skate to me, my baby (skate)
I wanna get to know ya (I wanna get to know ya)
