Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I'm comin' through
Hope your all alone
'Cause I got plans for you
We could stay at home
Or dance and hang all night
As long as I'm with you
Don't ask me where I've been
Or what I'm gonna do
Just know that I'm here with you
Don't try understand
Baby there's no mystery
'Cause you know how I am
I'm real
What you get is what you see
What you tryin' to do to me
You want to say your mine
Be with me all the time
You're falling so in love
And you just can't get enough
You're tellin' all your friends
She's a bad, bad bitch
You like the way I dress
The way I wear my hair
Show me off to all your friends
And baby I don't care
Just as long as you
Tell them who I am
Tell them I'm the one who made you give a damn
Don't ask me where I've been
Or what I'm gonna do
Just know that I'm here with you
Don't try understand
Baby there's no mystery
'Cause you know how I am
I'm real
What you get is what you see
What you tryin' to do to me
You want to say your mine
Be with me all the time
You're falling so in love
And you just can't get enough
You're tellin' all your friends
She's a bad, bad bitch
I'm real

Line by Line Meaning
Called you on the phone
I contacted you through a phone call
Said I'm comin' through
Told you I was on my way
Hope your all alone
Desire for you to be alone
'Cause I got plans for you
I have specific intentions for you
We could stay at home
We have the option to remain at home
Or dance and hang all night
We could dance and socialize throughout the evening
As long as I'm with you
My presence is the only thing that matters
Doesn't matter what we do
The activity we engage in is not important
Don't ask me where I've been
Do not question my whereabouts
Or what I'm gonna do
Or my future plans
Just know that I'm here with you
Acknowledge my current presence with you
Don't try understand
Do not attempt to comprehend
Baby there's no mystery
There is nothing mysterious
'Cause you know how I am
Because you already know my behavior
I'm real
I am authentic and genuine
What you get is what you see
The outward representation of myself is accurate
What you tryin' to do to me
What are your intentions towards me?
You want to say your mine
You are possessive over me
Be with me all the time
You desire constant, uninterrupted companionship
You're falling so in love
You have developed strong romantic feelings
And you just can't get enough
You crave more of my presence
You're tellin' all your friends
You are openly discussing me with others
She's a bad, bad bitch
Referring to me in a derogatory but approving manner
You like the way I dress
You approve of my fashion choices
The way I wear my hair
You like the style of my hair
Show me off to all your friends
You want to exhibit me to others in your social circle
And baby I don't care
I am indifferent to being shown off
Just as long as you
As long as you
Tell them who I am
Inform them of my identity
Tell them I'm the one who made you give a damn
Inform them that I am the reason you became interested in something
