Show and Tell
Cherish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No need for conversation.
Oh our time is wasting.
Guess what I'm gonna do.
When you step in my room.
Oh baby I've been waiting.
It's been enough dating.
Doing all that bragging.
So I've got to have it.
So oh.

I'll give in, if you promise there will be.
No talking when you come over.
I won't say no tonight.
Wanna work it out with you boy.

[Chorus]
So baby are you down for a little show and tell.
Want you to show me that you want it like you're fresh outta jail.
We can get it cracking.
Boy don't be acting.
Like you don't know what to do when I'm in front of you.
So baby are you down for a little show and tell.
Want you to show me that you want it like you're fresh outta jail.
We can get it cracking.
Boy don't be acting.
Like you don't know what to do when I'm in front of you.

More than infatuation.
An Usher imitation.
So won't you do it to me like you never did it before.
Stay on top of your game.
Work it like you're glad you came.
There's no turning back now.
So baby turn me out. So baby.

I'll give in, if you promise there will be.
No talking when you come over.
I won't say no tonight.
Wanna work it out with you boy.

[Chorus: x2]

I want you to make me feel so good. (So good so o o good).
Act like you know, know just what to do. (What to do you know just what to do).
Ooh baby.
Come on over and take control of me.





[Chorus]
