In The Dark
DEV Flo Rida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about it when you touch me there
Close my eyes, here you are all alone dancing in the dark
Tell me baby if it's wrong
To let my hands do what they want?
Late at night I pretend we are
Dance dance dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
When you work on me
Open my body up and do some surgery
Now that you got me up I wanna taste it taste it
And see those pocket aces
I wanna see who you are
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
On my waist, through my hair
Think about it when you touch me there
Close my eyes, here you are
Dance dance dancing in the dark!
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
I love to flirt to see
I'm only talking to you if you wanna surf my seas
Now that you got me boy
You know you better spice it flavor it get it right savor it
Wanna see who you are
Got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
On my waist, through my hair
Think about it when you touch me there
Close my eyes, here you are (here you are)
All alone dancing in the dark
Tell me baby if its wrong?
To let my hands do what they want
Late at night I pretend we are
Dance dance dancing in the dark
(oh la la)
Tell me baby if its wrong
Dancing in the dark
To let my hands do what they want
Dancing in the dark! (it's the Cataracs)
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la

On my waist, through my hair
I feel your touch everywhere on my body
Think about it when you touch me there
My mind is consumed with thoughts of you and our physical intimacy
Close my eyes, here you are all alone dancing in the dark
I can feel your presence and see you in my mind as I dance solo in the darkness
Tell me baby if it's wrong
I question the morality of our actions
To let my hands do what they want?
Giving into temptation and acting on our physical desires
Late at night I pretend we are
When I'm alone at night, I let my imagination run wild and envision us together
Dance dance dancing in the dark
We dance and physically connect without the encumbrance of societal norms
When you work on me
I am vulnerable and open to your touch
Open my body up and do some surgery

I'm like, come on, let me get that, love when it's pitch black
Girl, I can't see but I'mma roll through your six pack
Thinking 'bout nothing but us causing an impact
Freaking in the dark, tryna find where your lips at
Cause I like your sexy over me
I gotta have it like a habit, ain't ready to leave
I'm talking magic when it's happening under the sheets
We get it cracking in the passion, a moment of peace
Ball, she know I want it all, be all up in them drawers
Might run into a wall, like stop
It's hide-and-go-seek and I'mma go with the night out
So fly with the beauty, got the booty I like, round
So yeah, that's where my hands went, got lil mama dancing
Got her wanna bust like she hopping on a transit
Just like a bandit, Flo Rida so candid
Shorty, I know you like where my palms just landed
@hammadsiddiqui3293
It's weird how I can recognize any song pre 2012-13 and post 2008 even if I haven't listened it. Maybe it's because those were core teen years for most of us who are depressed adults now.
@Cakeboy99
Mainstream pop music from that era just followed a characteristic trend/style much like 2012-2015 EDM
@AA-wu2fk
@hammad not all of us are depressed,probably you
