Dessert
Dawin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They can imitate you
But they can't duplicate you
'Cause you got something special
That makes me wanna taste you
I want it all day long
I'm addicted like it's wrong
I want it all day long
I'm addicted like it's,

Whatcha gon'
Whatcha gon' do with that dessert

Murder that, murder that
Dancefloor, dancefloor

Murder that
Murder that
Murder that

Are you saving that dessert for me?
'Cause if you are baby
You know you could work for me
The way you do it causing jealousy
But you don't ever gotta worry about the enemy
They try to do it like you
And they get mad cause they don't do it successfully
They try to copy your moves
But they don't never ever do it that tastefully

They can imitate you
But they can't duplicate you
'Cause you got something special
That makes me wanna taste you
I want it all day long
I'm addicted like it's wrong
I want it all day long
I'm addicted like it's wrong

They can imitate you
But they can't duplicate you
'Cause you got something special
That makes me wanna taste you
I want it all day long
I'm addicted like it's wrong
I want it all day long
I'm addicted like it's,

Whatcha gon'
Whatcha gon' do with that dessert

Murder that, murder that
Dancefloor dancefloor

Whatcha gon'
Whatcha gon' do with that dessert

Murder that
Murder that
Murder that

Are you saving that dessert for me?
'Cause if you are baby
You know you could work for me
The way you do it causing jealousy
But you don't ever gotta worry about the enemy
They try to do it like you
And they get mad cause they don't do it successfully
They try to copy your moves
But they don't never ever do it that tastefully

They can imitate you
But they can't duplicate you
'Cause you got something special
That makes me wanna taste you
I want it all day long
I want it all day long

Whatcha gon'
Whatcha gon' do with that dessert

Line by Line Meaning

They can imitate you
Others may try to copy your actions

But they can't duplicate you
But they can never truly replicate you

'Cause you got something special
Because you possess a unique quality

That makes me wanna taste you
That evokes a desire within me

I want it all day long
I want it constantly

I'm addicted like it's wrong
My addiction feels excessive or inappropriate

Whatcha gon'
What are you going to

Whatcha gon' do with that dessert
What are you going to do with that desirable thing

Murder that, murder that
Destroy it, dominate it

Dancefloor, dancefloor
Refers to dancing and enjoyment

Are you saving that dessert for me?
Is that desirable thing being kept for me?

'Cause if you are baby
If that is the case

You know you could work for me
You have qualities that are valuable to me

The way you do it causing jealousy
The way you act inspires envy in others

But you don't ever gotta worry about the enemy
But you don't have to worry about those who oppose you

They try to do it like you
They attempt to mimic your behavior

And they get mad cause they don't do it successfully
And they get frustrated because they cannot replicate your success

But they don't never ever do it that tastefully
But they never do it as artfully as you
