Sweat
Inner Circle最 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching you
A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long
Come on
A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long

Standing across the room I saw you smile
I said I want to talk to you for a little while
But before I make my move my emotions start running wild
My tongue gets tied and that's no lie
I'm looking in your eyes
I'm looking in your big brown eyes (Ooh yeah)
(And I've got this to say to you)
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it
Push it push it some more

A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long
Come on
A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long

So I say to myself if she loves me or not
But the dread are known that love is his to get
And with a little bit of this and a little bit of that
The lyrics goes on the attack
My tongue gets tied
And that's no lie
I'm looking in your eyes
I'm looking in your big brown eyes (Oh girl)
(And I've got this to say to you)
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it
Push it push it some more

A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long
Oh yeah
A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long
One more time
A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long
Sing it
A la la la la long
A la la la la long long li long long long eh

Eyes, I'm looking in your big brown eyes (Oh yeah)
(And I've got this to say to you)
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it some more
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out I'm gonna push it
Push it push it some more

A la la la la long

A la la la la long long li long long long
Alright

Overall Meaning

He wants to push her to her physical limit, making her sweat until she cannot sweat anymore. The repetition of the words “A la la la la long” and “long long li long long long” creates a hypnotic and almost primal effect, luring the listener into the sensual desires that the singer expresses.

Its catchy melody and repetitive chorus make it an enduring party favorite that continues to be played around the world.
