Gwen Stefani/Pharrell Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
Walk in the place
They know my face
Encore sophomore
Only one solo, I swore
Big mouth, applause
Oh please, one more
Wanna hear it before I say naw?
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm, all right
Presto, skin tight
Escape and I risked my life
For what, so I can watch them bite
Only one Gwen you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Your key won't shine like this
If it's yours, then you know it won't wind like this
Wind it up
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat)
Walk in the place
They know my face
Billionaire boys
Ice cream drippin' 'cross the floor
Big house, garage
Bentleys, Ferrari
Wanna go before I say naw?
Let met check my itinerary
Mmm, all right
G four, G flight
Bed in the back, so I have a G night
Goodnight, hood right
Ain't no nigga you can find like this
I mean blow your mind like this
Nigga's watch don't shine like this
If it's ticking, then it don't tell time like this
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat)
Now sweat, baby
Get stupid, jump up, go crazy
L.A.M.B. in 3-D
Worldwide across your T.V.
P, you crazy; how'd you get this?
This sounds like disco Tetris
Do I have time to connect this?
Let me check my itinerary
Mmm
I came back for my spotlight
(For her spotlight)
I disappeared like Houdini
(Where? Houdini)
If yours didn't come out right
(If it's not right...)
Go to Kinko's and Xerox me
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I'm feelin' yummy head to toe
You see me
Ain't got no patience, so let's go
You see me
Look, I'm dyin' of drama
I wanna spend the night
Don't bring pajamas
Man, there's so much heat beneath these clothes
You see me
I know you've been waiting
But I've been out making babies
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
(It's time to make you sweat)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
Ovens and beaters and graters
Beats made of bongos and shakers
(It's time to make you sweat, sweat, sweat)

People recognize me
Encore sophomore
I've only had one solo album so far
Only one solo, I swore
I promised myself I would only have one solo project
Big mouth, applause
I talk a lot and receive applause for it
Oh please, one more
I want more attention and praise
Wanna hear it before I say naw?
Do you want to hear me say no before I perform again?
Let me check my itinerary
I need to check my schedule
Mmm, all right
Everything looks good
Presto, skin tight
I have magically transformed into tight clothing
Escape and I risked my life
I went out and had a risky adventure
For what, so I can watch them bite
I did it just to get attention
Only one Gwen you can find like this
There is no one else like me
I mean blow your mind like this
I can impress and surprise you like no one else can
Your key won't shine like this
Your possessions can never compare to me
If it's yours, then you know it won't wind like this
If it belongs to you, it won't have the same energy and excitement as me
I know you've been waiting
I understand that you have been anticipating my return
But I've been out making babies
I've been busy having children
And like a chef making donuts and pastries
I have been creatively producing new things
(It's time to make you sweat)
(It's time to make you excited and energized)
Sex and sugar is the flavor
My work is sweet and sexual
Ovens and beaters and graters
I use cooking tools as a metaphor for my creative process
Beats made of bongos and shakers
I use percussion instruments to create my music
Now sweat, baby
Get excited and energized
Get stupid, jump up, go crazy
Let go of your inhibitions and have fun
L.A.M.B. in 3-D
My fashion line L.A.M.B. is now in 3D
Worldwide across your T.V.
My brand is visible around the world on television
P, you crazy; how'd you get this?
People are surprised and impressed by my work
This sounds like disco Tetris
My music has a unique and catchy sound
Do I have time to connect this?
Can I further promote or market this idea?
I came back for my spotlight
I have returned to the public eye
(For her spotlight)
(To reclaim my previous level of fame)
I disappeared like Houdini
I suddenly vanished from public view
(Where? Houdini)
(In a similar way to how Houdini would disappear)
If yours didn't come out right
If your work or idea did not succeed
(If it's not right...)
(If it's not successful...)
Go to Kinko's and Xerox me
Try to copy and imitate my ideas or image
(It's time to make you sweat, sweat, sweat)
(It's time to get you excited and energized)
