You sure look good to me
Now would you please

I stepped off in a club on a Friday night
Lookin' for a man that would do me right
First move that I made was on the dance floor
But got down one time, then I went down for mo'
Physical action was happening at
Saw this young playa dip through the crowd
Looked over to my left and told my girl, hey
If I see him again I'mma have to say
And I'mma have to say

Shorty swing my way
You sure look good to me
Now would you please

Lookin' all around doing all I can, damn

Then I saw him again standing at the bar
So far everything is going my way

Got to get up the nerve to get my swerve on
Gotta do it fast or he'll be gone
'cause of the beat, just my luck
That somebody else will scoop him up
Can't have that
Want to be that girl that
Find herself a perfect match
Didn't want to come off as bein' too fly
Got contact eye to eye
Then I walked over to him slowly
I know that you don't know me
But this might be my only shot at
A tenderoni
He told me that we can do this
'cause a girl like you I can't resist
Got straight to the point, no time to play
Didn't need no game, just had to say

Shorty swing my way
You sure look good to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KP & Envyi's song "Swing My Way" describe a woman who enters a club on a Friday night with the intention of finding a man who can do her right. She spots a young player on the dance floor and tells her girl that if she sees him again, she’s going to have to say something. As fate would have it, she sees him again standing at the bar, and she decides it’s time to make her move. She dances seductively with him, and then they talk. The chorus repeats several times throughout the song, with the woman asking the man to swing her way. The lyrics express the woman's desire to be with the man for the night and to show him what she’s capable of.


On the surface, the lyrics of "Swing My Way" seem objectifying, with the woman treating the man like a piece of meat, but a closer look reveals that it's just a song about sexual empowerment. The woman is confident in her sexuality and is not afraid to express her desires. The song is a celebration of women who know what they want and go for it.

Anybody else feel good listening to this and yet immediately get
super nostalgic and sad at the same time Its like one minute im vibing then suddenly it hits me that these times
are forever gone.

I vividly remember flying down from NYC, and being picked up from the air port in atlanta,
by my now deceased Aunt to go to my now deceased grandparents. I can smell the leather, i can hear the heavy rain
hitting the windshield, i can remember this song playing on the radio along with other classic 90 songs, ahhhh man.
i remember the arcades the skating place i think of all my childhood cousins, classmates, friends, the climate and atmosphere of the 90s,
television shows, and the most important all my deceased loved ones.

sigh such painful nostalgia listening to this !
