Woo
Every time I look up
He be slidin' through in the F150 pickup
On them things shinin' with the crazy bangin' system
Laid back reclinin' with his arm up out the window like, ooh (ooh)
Every time he calls, I pick up
Hold it out the window and pull up my antenna
I'm so gone gotta hit 'em, I'm infatuated wit him
And ooh I never felt this before
Ooh ooh, baby

Don't know what to do with you, baby (don't know)
You just got me actin' so crazy
And I think this could be love
This could be love, oh yeah

Whatever you want, I'm so gone, I can't think
And I think it might be love
This could be love

You're like a brother but my lover, you're my get right

When I go, my body goes uh oh, oh no
See you give me such a good vibe (such a good vibe)
When the drama sittin' ridin' on the B ride (on the B ride)
I'll still be wit' ya even if ya pockets ain't tight
I may be young but I know love and you're the one

Line by Line Meaning
Every time I look up
Whenever I glance up, I see him
He be slidin' through in the F150 pickup
He drives by in his F150 truck
On them things shinin' with the crazy bangin' system
His car is shiny and has a loud sound system
Laid back reclinin' with his arm up out the window like oh
He's relaxed with his arm hanging out the window
Every time he calls I pick up
I immediately answer his calls
When he doesn't I be quick to double check my signal
If he doesn't call, I check my phone's signal quickly
Hold it out the window and pull up my antenna
I try to get better signal by holding my phone out the window and extending its antenna
I'm so gone gotta hit em, I'm infatuated wit em
I'm so in love, I need to talk to him
And ooh I never felt this before
I've never experienced these feelings before
Don't know what to do with you baby
I'm unsure how to handle my feelings about you
You just got me actin' so crazy
You're making me behave in a wild and impulsive manner
And I think this could be love
I believe that this feeling is love
Say baby you're like
You remind me of something
Part of the couple I've been missin' all of my life
You're the missing piece in my life, my soulmate
You're like a brother but my lover you my get right
You're like a sibling, but also someone I'm romantically involved with
I'm like an addict gotta have it
Being with you is addictive, I need it
When I go my body goes uh oh, oh no
I can't control my body's response to you
See you give me such a good vibe
You make me feel really good inside
When the drama sittin' ridin' on the be ride
Even when there are problems, being with you makes me feel better
I'll still be wit ya even if ya pockets ain't tight
I'll still stay with you even if you don't have a lot of money
I may be young but I know love and you're the one
I'm young, but I know that you're the one I love
And boy you really got me feelin' so right
You make me feel really good and happy
Got me actin' up
You're making me act impulsively
I'm diggin' on you, I'm diggin' on you
I really like you, I'm digging you
I don't know what to do
I'm uncertain about how to handle this feeling
Cause I'm diggin' on you
I'm really into you
And I think this could be love
I believe that this feeling is love
