Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah baby
You got to make your mind up
Yeah
Kut Klose, help me out

(You know you want my lovin') you know you want my lovin' baby
(You got me twisted over you) girl you got me twisted over you
(I know I got what you need) I got what you need right here baby
(So what you wanna do?)

Baby, baby I know
Baby I love you so
But you don't feel like I do
Tell me what can I do

(But I gotta be strong) but I gotta be strong
(Did me wrong) girl you did me wrong
(When I thought we were really down) I thought we were down
(So you say you want me) now you say you want me girl
(Make up your mind) ooh make up your mind
('Cause I'm not gonna be here for long) I'm not gonna be here for long

(You know you want my lovin') you know you want my lovin' baby
(You got me twisted over you) girl you got me twisted over you
(I know I got what you need) I got what you need right here baby
(So what you wanna do?)

Baby, baby in time (baby in time)
Baby I know you'll find (I know you'll find)
That what you needed was here (oh no no, no no no)
Think about it my dear

(But I gotta be strong) but I gotta be strong
(Did me wrong) girl you did me wrong
(When I thought we were really down) I thought we were down
(So you say you want me) now you say you want me girl
(Make up your mind) ooh make up your mind
('Cause I'm not gonna be here for long) I'm not gonna be here for long

(You know you want my lovin') you know you want my lovin' baby
(You got me twisted over you) girl you got me twisted baby
(I know I got what you need) I got everything you need tonight
(So what you wanna do?)
Break it on down

You got me twisted thinking about the way that things use to be
When it was you and me girl I was so free, see
You had my heart from the start like Cupid
And I was just downright foolish and stupid
But now I know the reason for the pain and the headaches
You left me all alone now I can't even concentrate
I guess I'll wait for the day until you come back
Because my heart is where your love is at
You got me twisted

(You know you want my lovin') you know you want my lovin' baby
(You got me twisted over you) girl you got me twisted baby
(I know I got what you need) I got everything you need tonight
(So what you wanna do?) What are you gonna do baby?
(You know you want my lovin') you know, I can make you feel real good if you let me baby
(You got me twisted over you) girl you got me twisted baby
(I know I got what you need) I got everything you need tonight
(So what you wanna do?) What are you gonna do baby?
(You know you want my lovin') you know you want my lovin' baby




(You got me twisted over you) girl you got me twisted baby
(I know I got what you need) I got everything you need tonight
