Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah-eh, I
Oh, oh, oh, ohh-oou-ohh
Yeah-eh
Ride. with me, with me
If you
Only knew the way you make me feel
Wish that I
Could make you feel the same way about me

I'm so
In-fatuated with your look your style
Don't know
How much more I can take
I think that I'm falling for you bay-beh
But I don't think I'll ever hit the ground
Cause when I try to tell you how I feel
My lips won't make a sound
It's crazy how you got me feeling you
I just wanna make yuh feel me too
Well right now all I really wanna do
Is know your name
Cause it would make my dreams come true
To know your name
Yeah
I
I never thought that I
Could eva feel so strongly
For somebody that I barely know
But you
You leave me so confused
I'm not exactly sure what I should do
Because for me this ain't the usual
Ooo girl you got a smile as sweet as candy
Yuh bodies finer than expensive wine
Yuh paralyze me when yuh looking at me
Wish I knew what to do to make you mine
And it's written on my face
That I don't know what to say
When you're right there In front of me
Somehow the words get
H-L, In the way
But oou ooh
Damn
Can you tell me what it is
About you that's got these thoughts of us
Running through my head
Most girls only bout that bread
Till ah get'em into bed
But
Maybe we can politic instead
Cause you seem like you got it
On point like a needle
Either, one in a million like
Aaliyah or Neyo
Call me HL DaMaverick
Yeah baby have a sip
Yeah it stands for hard liquor
So maybe you should sit
Down
While I try to come to grips
Cause I'm lost in your eyes
Thinking bout our first kiss
And we only just met
But it feels like
A very good, possibility
That I knew you in a past life
Saw you and I knew I couldn't
Pass up like
My mouth was on fire
And you was the last block of ice
But I think it's time for me to skate
Yeah this was nice
If you tryna roll with me
You ain't gotta ask twice
If you
Only knew the way you make me feel
Wish that I
Could make you feel the same way about me
I'm so
In-fatuated with your look your style

Don't know
How much more I can take
