Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
OK, we don't need to downplay
We can keep it on the low
I know how to play the roll
Mind games, ain't no time for mind games yeah
I know you know what I want though
Show me, if you think you know me
Take me out the comfort zone
Find it, take your time and find it yeah
So baby when you hit the road just call my phone
I'ma send you my location
You can take time, I ain't going nowhere
I'ma get the smoke ready, you already know baby
I been on your FaceTime now it's no phones
Been making you wait too long, I know
When you pull up i'ma be here, on my bed
Waiting for you call, waiting for you call oh oh oh
My head, my God, my feelings
Come give my body some meaning
No better place than in me tonight
I need you to set me up
Give you complete submission
Come put me in to position
No, tell your boys you're with me tonight
Cos' I need you to set me up
I need you to set me up
I know you got what it takes to keep a woman like me
Every guy just wanna take some, they don't wanna please me
You know ways to get me open, so open
You got me soft for you no lotion
Uh uh, I hear your engine I'll unlock the door
Pretend I don't know what you're coming for
I'm yours now you got it
No doubt about it
And you should know oh oh oh
The lyrics to Kelly Kiara's song Set Me Up are about the desire for intimacy with a partner who can take control and provide a sense of security. The singer wants the person to "set her up" by taking her out of her comfort zone and putting her into a submissive position. She wants complete submission, as she feels that the other person has what it takes to keep someone like her. However, she also wants to keep the relationship on the low, playing mind games and not giving in too quickly. Consequently, she tells the other person to call her when he is ready, promising to be waiting for him.
The opening lines present the singer as a person who wants to feel needed but also doesn't want the relationship to be too public. However, she also has an understanding that this kind of relationship might involve mind games. The phrase "mind games, ain't no time for mind games yeah" indicates that she is aware that these kinds of relationships can be tricky, but she is willing to play along. The following lines express her desire to be taken out of her comfort zone, exploring new experiences and sensations that she is not used to. She is willing to let go of her inhibitions if it means being with the partner she wants.
The chorus is where the singer expresses her desire for submission and intimacy with the partner. She wants him to take control and set her up in a position that will allow her to feel meaningful. The lines "I need you to set me up/Give you complete submission" demonstrate her willingness to submit to the other person completely. The last verse is an exchange between the singer and her partner, where she encourages him to come over and unlock the door. She wants to feel completely owned by the other person and has no doubt about his ability to set her up.
