Jagged Edge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hennessy (see)
Do wear?
Stay with me (me)
And I know just where I need to be (be)
And I'm on my way back to
After the club
After the club
Oh oh oh
You can't even lie
Wait a minute
You'd be gone
Or you'd be spinnin'
Like a merry-go-round
You know I'm a fool off that Henny
Guess I never knew my limit
I'm just trying to get by, yeah, yeah
It's been kinda hard for a minute
This job, this business
It'll tear you down, yeah.
You're the only one in my life
Only one that brings me peace, yeah

Niggas been passin' me drinks all night
I don't wanna drink no more, I'm right (and I know I'm right)
Only thing left to do is come see you (girl, I'm on my way)

Baby after the club
Girl, I'll be what you want
Hennessy in my cup
There ain't time to front, no baby
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, yeah

Baby after the club
Girl, I got what you want
Hennessy in my cup
There ain't time to front, no baby
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, yeah

Oh oh oh
Girl, I'll be at your door, in a minute
I done had one too many
Unfit to drive
At first, I had to take me a minute
And gather up my senses
I don't wanna catch a D.U.I. (Yeaaahhh)
I just seen a lot of women in the club
Nothing can give no love (No, no, no)
You're the only woman in my life
The only one I wanna ride (oohh, oooooh)

Niggas been passin' me drinks all night
I don't wanna drink no more, I'm right (I don't wanna drink no more baby)
Only thing left to do is come see you (Yeah, I'm on my way)

Baby after the club
Girl, I'll be what you want
Hennessy in my cup

Girl, I've been thinking like
Don't wanna come off like no freak
But I'm feeling like
You've got me down around my knees
Your can-cut-stops-lights-nigga-playa-act-right
When I leave the club, I'm on my way
When I leave the club, I'm on my way

Baby after the club

And I'm on my way back to knock on your door
