On Top
Eric Tucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She′s on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I'm not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won′t put my phone down
Cause I hope it don't ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me
She's on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I′m not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won′t put my phone down
Cause I hope it don't ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me

Girl, I′m on fire, watch me heat up
Don't mean to offend, on some treason
You ain′t got time for your re-up
Bet you gon' miss that two seater
You ain′t brand new, I know what new is
Always tryna catch me with a new bitch
Speak what you heard, they don't know me
You know my style, keep it low key
We so headstrong
When you that know we both wrong
Hatin' on all of my songs
Say goodbye, girl, I′m too gone, yeah
You wastin′ my time and I paid it attention
Told you 'bout the win and you didn′t listen, you didn't listen

She′s on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I'm not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won′t put my phone down
Cause I hope it don't ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me
She's on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I′m not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won′t put my phone down
Cause I hope it don't ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me

Yeah, she want me to rock the boat
Work it in the middle but it feels wrong just a little
I′m writin' you this two verse letter
Tell me what the hell is goin′ on
Tell me how I'm ′bout to right my wrongs
Ask me where I'm at when I'm gone
Please calm down, hold the phone
Don′t you speed off, hold on
Temptations got a hold on me now
So hard to stay focused, keep my feet on the ground
Always try my best to get through, through, through
There′s so many things I wanna say to you, you, you, you

She's on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I′m not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won't put my phone down
Cause I hope it don′t ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me
She's on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I′m not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won't put my phone down
Cause I hope it don't ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me
She′s on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I′m not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won't put my phone down
Cause I hope it don′t ring
She might be on to me
She might be on to me
She's on top of me
Sit down so comfortably
I′m not the perfect man
But I loved you perfectly
Won't put my phone down
Cause I hope it don′t ring




She might be on to me
She might be on to me
