Baby baby, it´s official
Hey
Baby baby, it's official
I'm feelin' the wibe and
Everything is fly, man
I feel like I'm flying
And now I can't believe
This girl in front of me

Is telling me that she
Maybe might be enemy
Is she a troublemaker?
I think I wanna date ya
What I got to do to make you put your number on this paper
It ain't no going back, I'm over that
I ain't stoppin'
I gotta move, gotte do, gotta say something

I'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers
For one night
I'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to (yeah)
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers
For one night

Baby I can't promise you tomorrow
But you can have tonight
And if you take the lead, I'm gonna follow
Whatever you like, girl

Uh!
I talk a lot 'a game
A whole mess of game
I'll say whatever, man, just to keep you listening
Baby, I've been that way
Always know what to say
But homie not today
She got me smurfy
Feelin' like I'm a smoker
I'm hot when I approach her
Reclinin' in this sofa
She'll be dancing when it's over
It ain't no going back, I'm over that, I ain't stoppin'
I gotte move, gotta do, gotta say something

I'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers for one night
I'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers for one night

Baby I can't ppromise you tomorrow
But you can have tonight
And if you take the lead, I'm gonna follow
Whatever you like, girl

Out of the club lights
Into the sunrise
Look into your eyes
You're even more beautiful
Get in the taxi, both in the backseat
You're looking at me
You're even more beautiful
Out of the club lights (lights)
Into the sunrise (rise)
Look into your eyes
You're even more beautiful
Get in the taxi (taxi)
Both in the backseat (backseat)
You're looking at me (ooh)

'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers for one night
I'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers for one night
I'm not saying I love you
But girl I adore you
And if you want to
We can get to know one another
We can be lovers for one night

(one night one night)

For one night
(one night one night)

Overall Meaning

The chorus expresses that he's not in love with her yet, but he adores her and wants to get to know her. He offers the idea of becoming lovers for just one night, not making any promises beyond that. He acknowledges that he cannot promise her tomorrow, but if she takes the lead, he will follow her lead and do whatever she wants.

The song is a playful and upbeat expression of a one-night stand, but it also touches on the reality that relationships are unpredictable. The singer is willing to take a chance on this girl for just one night, but he knows that if things go well, it could turn into something more.
