Sax
Fleur East Lyrics

Give it to me
Expressing a desire for the energetic and soulful saxophone playing that is the focus of the song

I met a boy last week tryna run that game Made it sound so sweet when he say my name I said, 'Boy, stop, run it back You can talk that talk, but can you play that sax?'
Recalling an encounter with a smooth-talking man who claimed to be able to impress her, but challenging him to show off his saxophone skills before she will be fully convinced

Met a boss last night buyin' out the bar Said I can ride top-down in his Jaguar I'm like, 'Boy, stop, run that back You can drive all night, but can you play that sax?'
Meeting a wealthy man who offers her luxuries like expensive cars, but still wanting to find someone who can fully capture her heart through music

Baby, baby, I've been waitin' for the one to blow my mind (Woo, ow, hey, give it to me) Maybe, maybe you can get it if you got that thang I like (Hey, ah)
Expressing a longing for the perfect romantic partner who will be able to impress her with their musicianship, and hinting that musical talent may be a key factor in winning her over

I need a straight up brother with a James Brown soul That type of red hot love that got me freezin' cold Say you can go all night the way you lay that track (yeah) But if you wanna hear me sing, you better play that sax
Describing the type of partner she desires: someone who has the soulful sensibilities of James Brown and can create passionate music that moves her emotionally

I met a dude last week, honey, he's so vain Yeah, he be lovin' himself more than Kim and Ye I'm like, 'Boy, stop, run that back Goddamn, you fine but can you play that sax?'
Encountering a narcissistic man who is more concerned with his own image and reputation than making beautiful music, and requiring that he demonstrate his skills as a saxophonist before they can proceed

Met a smart ass dude, mister Know-It-All Think you got Fleur down to a formula I'm like' Boy, stop, run it back Pack a big IQ, but can you play that sax?'
Encountering an intellectual man who is overly focused on analysis and logic, and demanding that he show his creative side and skill on the saxophone if he wants to win her heart

No fancy cars or bass guitars Fellas in suits smoking on cigars Those little boys making all that noise But you ain't gon' steal the show No fancy cars or bass guitars Fellas in suits smoking on cigars, uh Just play that song I know Take a deep breath and blow
Rejecting the flashy and superficial aspects of modern music and preferring the classic, soulful sound of the saxophone, urging the musician to focus on the music and forget about showmanship and flashy attire

Get loose, get right Get a grip and rock me all night Hold tight, lean back Play what I want with that sax
Encouraging the saxophonist to play with passion and soul, captivating her with the music and creating an intimate atmosphere

You better play that sax You better play that sax
Reiterating the central message of the song: that the key to winning her heart is through impressive saxophone playing, and demanding that the musician focus on this above all else
