Pick Me Up
Cherrelle Lyrics

He sure does look fine (Ow!)
I acknowledge his attractiveness.

But I can't change my ways for a man
I won't alter my behavior or personality to please a man.

And if he wants me
For any chance of a relationship, it's the man's initiative to step forward.

He must make the first move
I expect the man to show interest and approach me first.

If you really want my love (my love)
If you are earnest in your feelings for me,

Just pick me up (Mm-mmm)
you should take the first step and make a move.

No need to be so shy (So shy)
Don't hesitate, show me your intentions boldly.

Just pick me up, baby (Mm-mm-mm)
Make your move and ask me out, darling.

Out nightclubbing
At a club or a bar, where people meet and flirt.

'Cause I know I was looking fine, mm-hmm
I am confident about my appearance and believed that I looked good.

When I looked, I caught you staring (I caught you staring)
I noticed that you were checking me out secretly but got caught when I looked back.

You never know, you might be my kind
I am open to the idea of liking you as well, although I won't make the first move.

You and me will never be (Oh, no)
There won't be any relationship between us unless you initiate the first move.

I will make the first move
I won't make the first move.

Unless you make a move on me
I am not going to take any action unless you show interest in me.

I'm just an old-fashioned lady
I identify myself as someone who sticks to traditional ideas and habits.

And I won't change my old-fashioned ways, uh-uh
My traditional approach to dating won't be affected much by modern norms.

Be a man and make the first move on me
As a man, show some initiative and take the first step towards this relationship.

If I say yes, don't worry
If I accept your advances, you don't need to be anxious or hesitant.

I'll do all the rest, so take a chance
I will handle things from here, so all you need to do is to seize the opportunity and ask me out.

Hey, don't be shy
Don't hesitate or act self-consciously.

I don't bite
Don't be afraid of repercussions or a negative response.

You and me will never be unless you make a move on me
Our relationship will only materialize if you take the initiative and show your interest.

(Whoo-hoo)
Expressing excitement or enthusiasm towards the idea of a relationship.
