Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's up ladies? this is j.p. and I just
Wanna know... have you ever been sung to while
Being made love to?

Baby won't you have a seat
Give me a second while I start this beat
I've been goin thru much doin what I do
But now that I'm home I'm gunna do it for you
See the bed is my stage girl
But the spotlight shines on you
We made love a 1000 times but tonite this is
What I'm gonna do

I'm gonna make your body sweat
With a performance that you won't
Forget
I'm gonna give you a private show
And show you how low these vocals go
Do you mind if I sing to you while I
Make love to you baby
Do you mind if I sing to you while I
Make love to you baby

I been around the world and I've seen pretty
Face after pretty face
Sung my heart out on stages
But it seems like it was such a waste
Now don't get me wrong I love my fans
And I thank god for the voice that brought me
Fame
But instead of the girls in the front row
Now I can you screamin my name

Would you mind if I
Take my time
Touchin you kissin you, you're so fine
Start from your head, down to your toes
1000 kisses till you can't take no more

Come here girl give daddy a hug tonite your gonna
Be loved by a thug




I'm on top of you, you on top of me, I'm freakin
You, you are freakin me
