Ellen Allien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She caught me staring and she smiled at me
She was in a hurry, said she had to leave
But I couldn't let this moment pass me
So I got her number and I called her up
From the conversation she was so caught up
If you knew this girl then you know what's up
So I spoke my mind and said to her that
Don't want you to get it twisted like we're just friends
I wanna get in them jeans and in that thong
When you're ready just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' lay
We gon' lay
Together
Baby, it's going down
Ready, just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
Her personality is so sweet
She has no problem saying that she's feeling me
We stay out often to 2 or 3
When it's time to go it's hard for me to leave
She don't wanna rush it but I'm ready, babe
The anticipation got me going crazy
We can get it popping till the break of day
Don't take this the wrong way but there's something I gotta say
Baby, just let me take you to my backroom
And lay you down, do something sexy to you
Girl, you gon' like it, don't try to fight it
And we gon' have some fun, I promise I won't hit her up
Body is the business and I want it
Don't want you to get it twisted like we're just friends
I wanna get in them jeans and in that thong
When you're ready just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' lay
We gon' lay
Together
Baby, it's going down
Ready, just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
Let me, let me give you what you need
Let me, let me close your body
Baby, I want you
Let me, please let me
'Cause you're body is on my mind, baby
Driving me crazy
Get in 'em jeans girl if you're ready
Just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' lay
We gon' lay
Together
Baby, it's going down
If you're ready
Just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
We gon' stay
We gon' stay

We gon' lay

Together
Baby, it's going down
If you're ready
Just to call your daddy
I'm on my way
And we gon' stay
We gon' stay
We gon' stay
