And your voice real low when you're talking to me
You're saying something
And I'm thinking one thing
Your lips when you bite 'em like this
And I'm blushing real hard, got me moving my hips
You're across from me
You're such a dream
I'm dying to see, oh

Fletcher's song "Cherry" is a sultry and seductive track that uses vivid language to describe a romantic encounter. The lyrics are mostly focused on the physical aspects of attraction, such as the sensations caused by lips biting and hands pulling. The line "You're saying something and I'm thinking one thing" suggests that the singer is distracted by her desires and may not be fully present in the moment. The repeated refrain of "Cherry" emphasizes the sweet and juicy nature of this desire.
Throughout the song, the singer speaks directly to her love interest, using French terms of endearment like "mon chéri" and "rendezvous" to increase the sensuality of the situation. The chorus reinforces her desire to be intimate, with lines like "I want you on top of me like cherry." However, the bridge of the song shifts the tone slightly, as the singer seems to be actively trying to resist this desire. She notes that the look in her love interest's eyes is making her feel "out of her mind," suggesting that this attraction is overwhelming and perhaps even dangerous.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cherry" are straightforward and use sensory language to paint a picture of desire and attraction. While the tone of the song is heavily influenced by lust, there are moments when the singer's vulnerability and fear shine through, indicating that this desire may not be entirely fulfilling or healthy.
