JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m in the building, yall see I’m winnin
I’m getting money by the New York minute
We da boss, Diddy
Now the quick sex in the city
Hard but sweet like candy
(Verse)
Swag hot to the ceiling, skyscraper
He’s a dominator, name around town Terminator
You ain’t bout that – see you later
(Pre-hook)
Call me out, my name, no I ain’t gon stop
Screamin out aye, no I ain’t gon stop
Like I know boy stop
You don’t know me, boy stop
You ain’t never bust and go, boy stop stop stop stop
(Hook)
You like my dernier cus it bounce like jello
Hands to yourself, now don’t make me get ghetto
Actin like that, boy you can talk to my back
You’ll never get my besos, besos
I swing my pony tail cus you’re not my type of fellow
You don’t want a taste of 4 inch stilettos
Save all of that, boy you can talk to my back
You’ll never get my besos, besos
(Verse)
I’ve studied but still learned nothing
You tryna diss boy, I could get with it
See I’m not with the dirty
Talking to me like yea my birdy
That’s not the way I get down
(Pre-hook)
Call me out, my name, no I ain’t gon stop
Screamin out aye, no I ain’t gon stop
Like I know boy stop
You don’t know me, boy stop
You ain’t never bust and go, boy stop stop stop stop
(Hook)
You like my dernier cus it bounce like jello
Hands to yourself, now don’t make me get ghetto
Actin like that, boy you can talk to my back
You’ll never get my besos, besos
I swing my pony tail cus you’re not my type of fellow
You don’t want a taste of 4 inch stilettos
Save all of that, boy you can talk to my back
You’ll never get my besos, besos
(Bridge)
I’ve been through only one occasion
When I left my guard down
So save it please
Sorry I don’t have the patience
I know what you’re aiming for
Watch how you’re getting me
So what? You’re born to win
Let me fill you in
I need a gentleman, baby you should think again
Yea yea yea
I hope you get the memo
You’ll never get my besos, besos, besos, besos
(Hook x2)
You like my dernier cus it bounce like jello
Hands to yourself, now don’t make me get ghetto
Actin like that, boy you can talk to my back
You’ll never get my besos, besos
I swing my pony tail cus you’re not my type of fellow
You don’t want a taste of 4 inch stilettos
Save all of that, boy you can talk to my back
You’ll never get my besos, besos
In the song "Besos" by JoJo, the singer is speaking directly to a man who is trying to pursue her. She starts off the first verse by announcing that she is "winning" and making money. She also mentions that she is "hard but sweet like candy," which refers to her tough exterior but gentle heart. In the second verse, JoJo makes some bold statements about the man's character, calling him a "dominator" and "Terminator." She reiterates that he is not her type and she is not interested in him.
The pre-hook and hook of the song drive home the main message: JoJo is not interested in this man's advances. She tells him to call her name all he wants, but it won't change anything. She also mentions her physical appearance and the fact that the man is not worthy of her "besos" or kisses. In the bridge, JoJo reflects on a past situation where she let her guard down and is urging the man to understand he needs to be a gentleman if he wants to pursue her.
Overall, the song is a clear message to a persistent man trying to pursue JoJo despite her lack of interest. It is an empowering message, as she is declaring her worth and not settling for someone who is not right for her.
