Hot stuff
Craig David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Uh
Everybody sing with me now
Girl, hold on
Instead of messing with my future
Open up your heart
Hit the floor
Show me what you workin'
Sequins on your skirt
Insentuates all of your curves and
Girl you know I'm likin'
All the things you're doin'
Specially when them other girls
Be checkin' out your moves and
Girl I want in
The way you turnin' me on
I can't even begin
You're so hot like you come
Straight Out of the kitchen
When you dip it down low
Cuz we trippin'
'Cuz now other guys be lookin'
At you 'cuz your so damn fine
Really blows my mind
Girl it's all about you
So what we're gonna do
Let's dance
Get on the floor
No need to hold back
Sexy thong, mini-skirt, stilettos
And shakin' all that
Let's dance
What you're doin' to me
Girl I can't hold back
Some hot stuff
Is all that I need
So why we're waitin'
Let's dance
Get on the floor
No need to hold back
Sexy thong, mini-skirt, stillettos
And shakin' all that

Girl I can't hold back
Some hot stuff

So why we're waitin'
Let's dance
On the floor
As I pull you close in
Hands all up my back
With my arms wrapped
Around your waist and
Temperature be risin'
Beat straight hypnotizin'
Ain't no time for talkin'
Girl let's keep this whole thing movin'
Know what I'm sayin'

Girl you makin' me hard what a feelin'
Especially when you spin around
Rub up on my
And I ain't even playin' (That's Right)
So many things I wanna do (Tonight)
You make we wanna go home with you (That's Right)
So maybe they like to think it through
But right now it's all about me and you so

Craig David's song "Hot Stuff" is a track about hitting the dance floor with a hot girl to shake off the stress of everyday life. The song is a combination of electronic and R&B music that makes it highly enjoyable to groove to. The lyrics are full of sexual innuendos that describe how the girl's curves are being emphasized by the sequins on his skirt, and how captivating her dance moves are.
The song contains a catchy hook that goes, "Let's dance, get on the floor, no need to hold back, sexy thong, mini-skirt, stilettos, and shaking all that," which is an invitation to the girl to unveil her skills without holding back. The main verses are full of descriptions about how the girl's dance moves are enticing, with other guys checking her out, but the singer's focus is only on her.
The song is an excellent dance tune that can uplift anyone's mood in a club. It is fun to sing along with and has an infectious beat that can make anyone move. It is ideal for party playlists, and it showcases Craig David's songwriting prowess and music creativity.
