Girl I promise
If you choose me (Girl I promise)
If you choose me (I'll be honest)
If you choose me (Won't abuse it)
YFS

I've been on my job working hard to take care of you
But tell me what I do it for if I ain't never there with you

Lay it down on them expensive ass sheets
With the plush duvet to match the pillows on the king

We got all the best candles, they just sit up on the stand
And your closet full of lingerie like you made in Japan
But you can't even get sexy for me if I ain't never there to let you be the freak that you are
You could be a freak tonight, be a freak tonight
You could be a freak tonight, go and be a freak tonight
I know I been away, but I'm with you now
Animal in a cage, it's time to let you out
You could be a freak tonight, be a freak tonight
You could be a freak tonight, go and be a freak tonight
I know I been away, but I'm with you now
Animal in a cage, it's time to let you out

Time to let you out (out)
Come make daddy proud (proud)
What you been thinking 'bout?
Tell me when I get home
Press play on me like your favorite song
All night I'mma lick it on repeat
Then proceed to stick it and move like a Molly

We got all the best candles, they just sit up on the stand
And your closet full of lingerie like you made in Japan
But you can't even get sexy for me if I ain't never there to let you be the freak that you are
You could be a freak tonight, be a freak tonight
You could be a freak tonight, go and be a freak tonight
I know I been away, but I'm with you now
Animal in a cage, it's time to let you out
You could be a freak tonight, be a freak tonight
You could be a freak tonight, go and be a freak tonight

I know I been away, but I'm with you now
Animal in a cage, it's time to let you out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eric Bellinger's song "Plush Duvet" are about a man promising to be faithful and loyal to his lover if she chooses him. He acknowledges that he has been working hard to provide for her but realizes that his absence has made it difficult for them to connect intimately. He refers to their bedroom as a place of luxury, with expensive sheets, matching pillows, and the best candles all around. However, he recognizes that these things are meaningless if they aren't together to enjoy them. He acknowledges that his lover is a goddess and has been waiting for him, like an animal waiting to be let out of its cage. The chorus urges his lover to let out the inner "freak" and enjoy herself with him. He assures her that now that he's with her, they can be together all night long.

Ultimately, the song is about how material things are meaningless without love and connection. Despite the fancy sheets, candles, and lingerie, what truly matters is authentic love and intimate moments with those we care about.
