U Should
CHIKA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching you across the room
I wanna dance, a dance
It's a tug of war for your time, baby
You're so damn fine
Look so good (so good)
So good
You don't see it all as a sign
Pour some more of your wine
Yeah, you should
You should

Yeah, I'm always in the position
Of sipping my drink, tryna make a decision
Of how I can shoot my damn shot with precision
I swear that it's harder than what I envisioned
'Cause mama got ass for days
But hold herself well, she got class for days
Walk in the room and got niggas consumed
Now they all rushing home to go mastur-
Wait, I'm talking my shit (sheesh)
She like the sun, this how you feel when you stunned
This how you feel when you won
Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic but don't think I'm manic
When saying I think you the one (I think you the one)
Tryna get cuffed or just looking for fun?
I'll take you up on it
But total disclosure, I'm tryna get closer
So mama, just wish me good luck on it (yeah)
Wish me good luck on it

I've been watching you across the room
I wanna dance, a dance (a dance)
Girl, the way you move, it taunts me
Please excuse my hands, my hands, yeah
It's a tug of war for your time
Baby, you're so damn fine
Look so good (look so good)
So good
You don't see it all as a sign
Pour some more of your wine
Yeah, you should (yeah, you should)
You should (you should)

I'm in the market for somebody I can talk with
Got pictures inside of lockets
And care less about my pockets
I know that I can ride on my own
And I got time I can blow
If you'd be down for a show, then listen up
'Cause I been 'round the block
My eyes been on the clock (eyes been on the clock)
I've tried my best to stop, but I know what I want
I fall in love with constants (fall in love )
Girl, that's you (that's you)

I need a rider, I'll be your provider
Taken by your outer but I see inside you
We can keep it private, they don't know about us
Take you to an island they'll be fine without us
You been on my mind and I get so excited
When I see you smiling
Know it's been a while since
You done had a rest
Lay your head upon my chest

I've been watching you across the room
I wanna dance, a dance (a dance, yeah, yeah)
Girl, the way you move, it taunts me
Please excuse my hands, my hands
It's a tug of war for your time
Baby, you're so damn fine
You look so good
So good
You don't see it all as a sign
Pour some more of your wine




Yeah, you should
You should
