What's Your Flava?
Craig David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava

I met this fly girl in a club
Went by the name of pecan deluxe
This ice cream was high maintenance
When I took her out
Nearly cost me twenty bucks
Met this chick named walnut whip
Nearly made me sick
To the point of throwin up
So I called chocolate chip
With the sweet toffee crisp
And I still can't get enough

You're what I want
You're what I need
I want to taste ya
Take you home with me
You look so good, girl
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I could peel your wrapper
I could be your fantasy

What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava

I take 'em in the middle of July
With the drop top down
In the park when it's summer, and
These ice creams lookin' so fly
That I just can't lie
It all seems too bewildering
They got these grown men runnin round
Screamin out actin worse
Than children, but who
Know better flow better stack cheddar
Get more tongues wetter
Than this ice cream veteran

You're what I want
You're what I need
I want to taste ya
Take you home with me
You look so good,
Good enough to eat
I wonder if I could peel your wrapper
I could be your fantasy

What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava

Hey, I'm takin 'em apple and cinnamon
Girls I'm feelin em'
Can't stop lickin 'em
That's why they got me dribbling
Hot fudge sauce and it's
All over my timbalands
I take them caramel
With a hint of vanilla
With a little chocolate sprinklings
They make me spend my dividends
These sweet things
Make me feel like a kid again

You're what I want, you're what I need
I want to taste ya, take you home with me
You look so good, good enough to eat
I wonder if I could peel your wrapper
I could be your fantasy

What's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava
Tell me what's your flava

I want chocolate, I want toffee yeah girl
I want vanilla girl, to rock my world
(What's your flava, tell me what's your flava)
(What's your flava, tell me what's your flava)




(What's your flava, tell me what's your flava)
(What's your flava, tell me what's your flava)

@RoySherfan

I love how the music video presents the three things to avoid in relationships.

1. A girl only interested in her own image and wants to be in the limelight, consumed by the camera.

2. A girl who only has concern for money and the more she has her spending goes through the roof.

3. Girls who use their looks and sex or who basically force themselves using sex as the bait to get what they want.

Avoid those three pitfalls, just remember the three F-type of girls. Fame. Fortune and Flirtacious girls and then ask yourself what's your Flava.

Genius song. Genius video.

Miss these days so much

@gemmacameron585

They are.still asking the same question 2023 but now instead of dancing we shove sundaes in their face and yell double Carmel bitch. And they burn we laugh and go on our merry way such is life. It's a sign of the times

@kaliuma.9303

This video is very symbolic. First chick got dumped for being fame hungry, second got dumped for being money hungry, third got dumped for being sex obsessed and fourth won for being real. We love.
