Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I wanna do is make you dance right

Another B. Cox joint

Like that, come one, 2003

Latif, yeah, come on

Yeah, come on, yeah, come on

First verse

You're hotter than all your friends

Looking good, do your thing

I couldn't pass ya, had to ask ya

Did you get it from your mama?

I done seen a quite a few girls

None could tie the shoes on you girl

I'm not gaming so don't get me wrong

There's something I think you should know

Are you the one?

You're just something I'm tryna get with tonight

But I want

Nothing serious, tell me are you feeling this

I'll take you home

Bet that, shorty wanna ride with me

So put me on, girl

Put me on, ma

Hey, hey

I know these boys in the club

Been sweating you all damn night

And baby

The way you shake it on the floor

Plus that dress fitting you so right

Hey, hey

So won't you give me a chance

'Cuz I'm not thinking 'bout those other guys

So, slide your body next to mine

Baby, won't you put me on?

We could shake the spot

You and me

This is where I'm tryna be

This pool is calling for your body

Mixing Crissy with Bacardi

You can leave the keys with your friends

Just come and take a ride in my Benz

I'm not gaming so don't get me wrong

There's something I think you should know

Are you the one?

Or are you just something I'm tryna get with tonight

What I want

Nothing serious, tell me are you feeling this

I'll take you home

Bet that, shorty wanna ride with me, what
