Behind
Countdown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby makes me proud, Lord don't she make me proud
She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk, Lord, how they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights,
I know she'll be leaving with me
And when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
My baby makes me smile, Lord don't she make me smile
She's never too far away or too tired to say I want you
She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights,
She's still a baby to me.
'Cause when we get behind closed doors
Then she lets her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man




Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
Behind closed doors

She's literally glowing how can anyone say she wasn't pregnant.

@blahblahblah3722

The black woman that hates her fellow sista (Wendy Williams) started that terrible rumor. Haters believed it like idiots smh

@OneLoveRSR

blahblahblah Wendy Williams did NOT start that rumor. It's amazing how stupid people get. That rumor was started by people in comment sections, like you. They claimed her stomach deflated when they watched her on "Sunday Night". It was all over the blogs before Wendy even said it. She just reported the rumor but she didn't start it. Get your fucking facts straight.

@kitanaedenian2575

She was over the moon excited, it was just infectious and then to know how the media turned on her with those nasty rumors must have killed her joy...How Sad but now she's expecting two more blessings and I wish her a safe & comfortable Pregnancy.
