Ashley
Lido & Santell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pull up to the strip club, 'bout 2: 30 AM
Still let the crew pop bottles cause they know who I am
And they all on me, thing is I don't want none of them
Cause she got my attention
Ooooh
Now she the only one with some clothes on
But she the only one I want to undress
She took us to our table (yea)
She said she couldn't stay though (why not?)
Cause she just the waitress

Ooooh I could have had Candy, Paris, Sabrina
I could have had Bambi, Coco, Katrina
They could have had Crystal, Mercedes, or Keisha
But they ain't you
None of them like you, oooh no

I just want Ashley
How'd I fall in love in this club?
I just want Ashley
She the only one I would fuck

I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper
I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper
I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper
I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper

Now I might be a little fucked up
But I know I'm feeling you babe
I ain't even fronting'
This booty in my lap mean nothin, to me
I would trade this VIP I'm sitting in
For a dog and picket fence
Ain't not Dom Perignon
Just you and your Sunday dress on waiting for me at home

Ooooh I could have had Candy, Paris, Sabrina
I could have had Bambi, Coco, Katrina
They could have had Crystal, Mercedes, or Keisha
But they ain't you
None of them like you, oooh no

I just want Ashley
How'd I fall in love in this club?
I just want Ashley
She the only one I would fuck

It just ain't fair
The feelings I'm feeling, her position yeah
I wish she was up there
All these bands all mean nothing if I can't spend them on her
If she hit that pole, then I'd be going broke

I just want Ashley
How'd I fall in love in this club?
I just want Ashley
She the only one I would fuck

I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper
I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper
I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper




I just wanna tip her, tip her
Even though she not a stripper, stripper

Overall Meaning

The song "Ashley" by Lido & Santell tells the story of a man who visits a strip club with his friends and is initially surrounded by women trying to get his attention. However, he only has eyes for the waitress, Ashley, who stands out to him because she is fully clothed and not a stripper like the other women in the club. He finds Ashley more attractive than any of the other women because she is not trying too hard to get his attention, and he wishes he could have her instead of the other women. The chorus repeats that he only wants Ashley and wonders how he could have fallen in love in the club.


The lyrics show a contrast between the superficial relationships with the strippers who are trying to impress him with their bodies and Ashley, who he finds attractive because she is different and seems more genuine. He recognizes that his situation is not ideal and that he is not in the right place to build a serious relationship with Ashley, but he cannot help falling in love with her.


Overall, the song is a commentary on love, desire, and the superficiality of modern hookup culture. It shows how even in an environment like a strip club, where everything seems to revolve around lust and instant gratification, a deeper connection can still be found.
