In The Meanwhile
Jodeci Lyrics
Sticky, sticky,
Let's get sticky, word
Yeah, I like it
In the mirror
Can you pose in the mirror baby, get sticky
I don't have to be the only one
But we can still have fun
As long as you with me
Baby don't diss me
And we can get busy
I know you have a lot to do
But can I get a second or two
So when you get with me
I can spin you around and we can get busy
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
How you want it (Sticky)
How you like it (Sticky)
How you love it (Sticky)
How you need it (Sticky)
How you want it (Sticky)
How you like it (Sticky)
How you love it (Sticky)
How you need it (Sticky)
You say you wanna do a lot of things
So check the joy I bring
Baby you can hang
If you wanna feel sexy
Baby just call me
And we can get nasty
Come out cha' clothes and play for awhile
Come to my crib and check my style
So baby let me pour you found,
In the meanwhile, in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
Yo DeVante, (Yo what)
This girl tried to get sticky with me, wear it out
And guess what I told her, (What's that) Timbaland
I can rock a party, like Liberace
I can catch a groupie, and all the hotties
Take her out and get sticky right in the lobby
Then get my crew and run a Swing Mobbie
We like Norman, our skills are the beats
People can't wait to get a dub of our tapes
On a hundred and twenty-fifth, catch a whiff
K-Ci my man won't cha' hit a riff (Ooooh)
And show the sticky girls with the ather
Rub her down, lick her thighs now we passed her
All night long, keep you smilin'
All night long, get buck wildin'
All night long, make it sticky
All night long, we're not naked
F-feels, f-f-feels
F-feels, f-f-feels so damn
F-feels, f-f-feels
F-feels, f-f-feels so damn
F-feels, f-f-feels, h-how you want it, h-how you want it
F-feels, f-f-feels so damn, h-how you want it, h-how you want it sticky
F-feels, f-f-feels, h-how you want it, h-how you want it
F-feels, f-f-feels so damn, h-how you want it, h-how you want it sticky
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile
How you want it (Sticky)
How you like it (Sticky)
How you love it (Sticky)
How you need it (Sticky)
How you want it (Sticky)
How you like it (Sticky)
How you love it (Sticky)
How you need it (Sticky)
You know I'm down, in the meanwhile
You know I'm down to make you smile
You know I'm down to make you smile
You know I'm down to make you smile
You know I'm down to make you smile
So I'll be around in the meanwhile

Jodeci is an American musical group, active from 1990 to 1996, whose repertoire included R&B, soul music, and new jack swing. The group consisted of two pairs of African-American brothers from Charlotte, North Carolina: the DeGrates (Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, the group founder/leader, and Dalvin DeGrate) and the Haileys (main lead singer Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey and second lead singer Joel "Jo-Jo" Hailey). The group's name is a combination of the names of its members: Jo-Jo, DeVante and Dalvin, and K-Ci. Read Full BioJodeci is an American musical group, active from 1990 to 1996, whose repertoire included R&B, soul music, and new jack swing. The group consisted of two pairs of African-American brothers from Charlotte, North Carolina: the DeGrates (Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, the group founder/leader, and Dalvin DeGrate) and the Haileys (main lead singer Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey and second lead singer Joel "Jo-Jo" Hailey). The group's name is a combination of the names of its members: Jo-Jo, DeVante and Dalvin, and K-Ci.
If Boyz II Men are portrayed as a clean-cut, wholesome R&B vocal group, then Jodeci's wild, sexual, bad-boy image represents the other side of the coin. Made up of two sets of brothers, the group's name is a consolidation of three members' aliases: "JoJo" Hailey, Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, and Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey; the group also includes Dalvin DeGrate. Natives of Charlotte, NC, all four members toured the South as young boys singing gospel music, even recording albums; both families belonged to the Pentecostal church, and the DeGrates' father was a minister. The boys were able to hear each other's gospel songs played on the radio, and eventually were introduced through girlfriends as teenagers. However, when they did meet, K-Ci was with a girl Dalvin had been dating, and a fight nearly broke out. The Hailey brothers and DeVante started hanging out together, partying and talking about making R&B records together, coming up with the name Jodeci at this time.
At age 16, DeVante ran away to Minneapolis to get a job in Prince's organization, but was refused. He returned to Charlotte, where he wrote a song and recorded JoJo singing it. The two planned on going to New York to shop the demo around by themselves, but both K-Ci and Dalvin decided to tag along at the last minute. By the time they got to New York, they had demo recordings of 29 songs, which they brought to the offices of Uptown Entertainment. They were almost rejected, but rapper Heavy D overheard the tape and talked Uptown president Andre Harrell into hearing the group. Harrell was impressed, and just like that, Jodeci signed a recording contract. In 1991, they recorded Forever My Lady, which featured the gold single "Come and Talk to Me" and went on to sell over three million copies. A minor feud resulted over the band's follow-up album, Diary of a Mad Band; Jodeci, unhappy with their treatment by Uptown, flirted with the idea of leaving for Dr. Dre's Death Row Records, which resulted in almost zero promotion for their new album. It didn't matter much, as Diary went platinum. The group's troubles got worse in 1993; DeVante and K-Ci were involved in an incident with a woman K-Ci met at a club and brought back to DeVante's apartment. The woman filed charges against the two, saying that K-Ci had threatened her and fondled her breast, while DeVante pointed a gun at her. Both pleaded guilty, but that wasn't all; shortly afterwards, DeVante's house was robbed of over 160,000 dollars in jewelry and clothes as the singer was held with guns in his mouth and at the back of his head.
Jodeci's third album, The Show, the After Party, the Hotel, was released in the summer of 1995. DeVante also was afforded the opportunity to work with Al Green, one of his idols, writing and producing the song "Could This Be the Love." ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
