Sweetheart
Dupri Jermaine Lyrics

What you thinkin' about?
Asking what's on the listener's mind

You and me goin' one-on-one (Say what)
Suggesting a one-on-one relationship while seeking confirmation

JD y'all (Uh huh, So So Def)
Referencing JD and his record label, So So Def

MC y'all (What you think about)
Referring to himself as an MC and asking for the listener's thoughts

I'm the man to fulfill your needs
Offering to fulfill the listener's desires

Get you everything that you see in your dreams (C'mon)
Promising to provide everything the listener desires

Baby, lighten up and let nobody tear us apart
Encouraging the listener to not let anyone come between them

If forever you'll be my sweetheart
Asking the listener to be their romantic partner for the long haul

Boy haven't you noticed
Addressing the listener in a flirtatious manner

A gleam in my eye
Showing that the artist has a crush on the listener

Because of you
Implying that the listener is responsible for the singer's emotions

I'm a little hypnotized
Feeling entranced by the listener's presence

But every time you're with me
Feeling happy whenever the listener is around

I feel so positive
Feeling great thanks to the listener's company

Now with a little love
Expressing that love is what they both need right now

Something's got to give
Something good is bound to happen between them soon

A full moon (Yeah yeah)
Describing the scenery of the night

Is waiting in the twilight
A poetic way of describing the nightfall

Maybe soon
Expressing hope that something good will happen soon

You will come to be my night
Referring to the listener being their shining star

Here we are
Acknowledging their present situation

Hoping that we never part
Desiring to stay together forever

Stay with me
Requesting the listener to stay with them

Baby, won't you be my sweetheart
Asking the listener to be their romantic partner

We could share a storybook romance
Describing a fantasy-like, perfect romance

Just you and I
Imagining a scenario where only they matter

You are no Casanova
Acknowledging that the listener may not be the smoothest operator

I know that you'll be true
Believing that the listener is honest and loyal

And that's why
Explaining the reason for admitting his feelings

I'm so in love with you
Expressing deep affection and love towards the listener

But each romantic ending
Reflecting on past moments with the listener

You leave me at my door
Acknowledging that the listener usually leaves after dates

But tonight
Wanting things to be different this time around

I'd like us to explore
Requesting to try something new with the listener

See, I saw you at the party
Recalling a moment when they first noticed the listener

With your eyes on me
Feeling flattered by the listener's attention

Fittin' the description
Describing the listener as someone who is perfect for him

On what I want my bride to be (Ha, ha)
Jokingly referring to the listener as his potential spouse

As live as me
Thinking that the listener is as cool and spontaneous as he is

Don't know the same guys as me
Not knowing the listener's acquaintances

But a lot of style
Noticing that the listener has a unique style

And usin' wild name like Ivory
Noticing that the listener has an interesting name

I agree with my niggas
Believing the same thing as his crew

You the baddest I ever seen in a long time (Uh)
Thinking that the listener is the most attractive person he's seen in a while

But woman with her own shine
Preferring a woman who has her own things going on

Is on time
Suits the artist's needs perfectly

And I don't hit
Not wanting to make a move on someone who doesn't suit him

Cause I'm tired of dealin' with the wrong kind
Having a history of dating the wrong type of people

Getting non' but the bullshit
Being fed up with unnecessary drama

She got a playa tryin' to think of new things to say (Sup, baby)
Trying to come up with a clever introduction to the listener

She up in the corner sippin' Don P, Rosee' (Yeah)
Describing the listener's actions at a party

Shakin' it up with the homegirls
Hanging out with her friends

Payin' no attention to us
Noticing that the listener wasn't giving him any attention

They in they own world
Describing the listener and friends as having their own thing going on

Hey, yo, girl
Trying to get the listener's attention

Sounds so right (Uh, huh)
Feeling that things are going their way

The mood is right
Feeling that the atmosphere is perfect for romance

Say what, MC, baby, sing it to me
Asking the MC to sing a romantic tune

To keep me warm
The music making him feel better

Away from harm
Feeling comfortable around his love interest

Nowhere better than my baby's arms
Feeling safe and content in the listener's arms

Won't you be my sweetheart
Asking the listener to be his romantic partner

Sweetheart
A term of endearment for a significant other
