Lavender
Disclosure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I change the channel on you, I'm on it
I like the lace on you, she about it
Soft lips, soft skin, smooth hips, want everything
And you got it

Get closer, baby
I need you in my life, lady
Get closer, baby
You're the type I like, baby

No turning back now
Ooh, got it
Get it, got it, then I got it good, mh
I'm about it, they're misunderstood, girl
She be fuckin' with my rhythm
She be fuckin' with my rhythm, damn

She addicted to groove
That's how I get her
I set my sight and then move
I'm better
I see her look, double take, hear me say
"Now let me see you shake"
It's now or never

Get closer, baby
I need you in my life, lady (now or never)
Get closer, baby
You're the type I like, baby

I change the channel on you, I'm on it (I'm on it)
I like the lace on you (like the lace), she about it
Soft lips, soft skin, smooth hips, want everything
And you got it

Get closer, baby (get closer)
I need you in my life, lady
Get closer, baby (get closer)
You're the type I like, baby

Y'all ain't never had a Compton nigga on this type of shit huh?
Nigga still from the block, boo
Je suis le meilleur, motherfucker
Je suis le meilleur

Hot nights under lights
I'm addicted to you (yeah)
Same game, different rules
I got nothing to prove

Hot nights under lights
I'm addicted to you
I'll make the first move
Same game, different rules
I got nothing to prove
I'll be the best you

Hot nights under lights
I'm addicted to you
I'll make the first move
Same game, different rules
I got nothing to prove

No turning back now

(Ever had, the best you ever had)
(Ever had, the best you ever had)

I change the channel on you, I'm on it
I like the lace on you (I like the lace), she about it
Soft lips, soft skin, smooth hips, want everything
And you got it

Get closer, baby
I need you in my life, lady
Get closer, baby
You're the type I like, baby

Ooh
Ay, tell the boys to bring the clap back in




There it is
Is that lavender? I like lavender

The one thing I love about being "late to the party" with some artists: after years and years of listening, you still discover new gems like this one. Beautiful song!
