Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I get a kiss? (ah)
Can I feel them lips?
I'm talking bout the ones between yo hips
Wussup? Wussup?
I just wanna know right now now
Before I take out out, girl
I wanna know if I should be spending all of these dollar bills on you
I wanna know that after we leave the club that you gon be tryna come through
Wussup? Wussup?
I just wanna know right now now
Baby before I go can I get a kiss goodnight?
Before I let you go away
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?
Just let a nigga know it's good,
Let a nigga know wussup, let a nigga know it's real
You can keep it one hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned
Let a nigga know it's good,
Let a nigga know wussup, let a nigga know it's real
You can keep it one hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned
Before I let you go
Before you've been dismissed
Can I put my name on it so you won't forget?
Wussup? Wussup?
Let me see you turn around round
Baby before I go can I get a kiss goodnight?
Before I let you go away
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?

All them drinks she was pourin
Pourin the Patrone with lime, no juice, get loose
Fo I let you go

You in a league
Of your own
Star playa
In the 4th gon puck her up
And kiss that bottle
You don't need no cup, you don't need no luck
Fuck 7, you a 10, let me know wussup
The sky is the limit, wait a minute
Before I let you go away
Can I get a kiss goodnight, baby?

Let a nigga know wussup, let a nigga know it's real
You can keep it one hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned
Let a nigga know it's good,
Let a nigga know wussup, let a nigga know it's real
You can keep it one hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned hunned
The song "Kiss Goodnight" by Eric Bellinger features a narrative about a man who is keen to get an intimate relationship with a girl, but before he lets her go, he wants to know whether he should spend a lot of money on her or not. He prefers to know if the girl he's into is into him too, hoping she will come by after they leave the club. The prospective girl is given a chance to reveal her interest in the man by responding to his request for a kiss goodnight before they leave. The lyrics, "Let a nigga know it's good, Let a nigga know wussup, let a nigga know it's real" emphasize that the man is looking for transparency and honesty regarding their relationship.
The verses in the song build on the idea, as the man tries to understand how the woman feels about him. He asks her to show him that she is interested in him through a kiss. He also puts forward his thoughts that there is something about her that he finds attractive, making him want to get closer to her. The song combines smooth R&B beats and a compelling story that creates an engaging experience for the listener.
