Between me and you
Ja Rule Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Murder Inc. Shit
Uh, uh, uh, uh

Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby

Yo, now when I first met her all I thought was, "thong thong-thong"
Like, "Lose the lame, we can get our freakin' on"
Baby know the game, slip away, and slide me yo number
It's the last day of spring, see you first day this summer
I'm a bad motha, shut yo' mouth, pull the drop out and
Creep at a low speed, 'cause homie probably know me
I push the pedal, thoughts of your stileto
Way up in the air like I think he's here
'Cause see, every time that I'm alone with you (with you)
Homey be checkin' up on you (on you)
But if that nigga only knew (only knew)
You've got a lot of freak in you, baby
Well now it's startin' to rain, I pop the roof and the champagne
How Jay said? "Money Ain't A Thing"
It's been close a few, something even impossible
But, it's been between me and you, baby

Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby

Girl, it's on again, every year, we hummer 'em in
Beaches, houses, hoes, foes, friends
And when the day ends, that's when it all begins
You wit him? Here's my room key, holla at me
While you thinka-think I'ma hit it up
Then look at the nigga you thinkin' you love? Come on, love
We could go there, me and you, creep off all night
If you love it, in the mornin', awake with new light
If you lookin' like I ain't gonna handle his
Let me handle my biz, it is what it is
Nigga livin' his life, and that's my bitch
You know I got a wife, let's keep this thing tight, baby

Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby

Don't let the word get out (shhh), baby
This is strictly between me and you, baby
If they knew we were doin' what we were doin' it'd probably ruin
Our creep away summer in Cancun and, and I, love
The way we get away, throw away a whole day
Turn off the pagers and phones, we in the zone like
"Fuck life, we live life
This is our life, live your life"

'Cause see, every time that I'm alone with you (with you)
Shorty be checkin up on you (on you)
But if baby girl only knew (only knew)
You've got a lot of freak in you, baby

Did I ever tell you, my man love what you do
That little thing with yo tongue
You the best, who knew?
It's been close a few, at times even impossible
But, it's been between me and you, baby

Now every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you (me and you)
'Cause every little thing that we do (that we do)
Should be between me and you (me and you)
The freaky things that we do (that we do)
Let's keep between me and you, baby

(That we do)
(Me and you)
(That we do)
(Me and you)
(That we do)
(Me and you)




(That we do)
(Me and you)

@ekkamailax

same, back then they put a lot of work into coming up with catchy melodies. Today's r&b is more about rhythmic singing instead of melodies
