Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I can't call it
All I know is I had to step up
Step up
Speed it up, cut the chase
Go in for first base
Before them other cats try to get ya, get ya
Killing me with every dip, girl
You about to get a tip do it girl
Once it goes down and you turned me down
But, this time around, I got it shorty
Hey, how you doin'?
Baby what you getting into?
I don't know what your name is
Or who your gamin'
But, I ain't leaving without you
Hey girl how you doin'?
I never seen nothing, like you, like you
With a body, that shape
It's your claim to fame
And girl, I ain't leavin' without you, no.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, boo, boo doo doo doo whoo!

Your bod, your bod, your bod, your bod, your body
Oh, What ya drink?

You're movin' them hips
Killing me with every dip, girl

The worse that goes down is you turn me down
You're feelin' your boy now
So I got it shorty

Long as we can ride together
One more sip
Wet your lips

You're always up full halogen
Yep, yep, she modeling

You know I'm tryin to see what's up with you
Eh, and I ain't thinkin 'bout your man
He shoulda had you by the hand
'Cause I'm your number one fan
I ain't leavin' without you
Hey how you doin?
Hey how you doin?

This is currently 2023. I heard this today on the radio. I didnβt realize until today how much I miss Jaheim. I Love the way you can understand every word bc itβs like he talks while singing, which is a unique thing, his voice is so crisp and clean and he always in control and on top of the beat. Best of all, heβs from Jersey just like me. God bless Jaheim.β€οΈ
