Where I'm Coming From
Little Nikki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me something that I can use for real
More than just a taste of how you feel
If it's only once then that's the deal
But I know when I go, you'll be crying out for more

Take a little trip to the other side
If you make a slip I can let it slide
More than just your average amplified
And I know when I go, you'll be crying out for more

Heey
Hold on to me real real tight
Let me go and see if I
Come back around or leave you on the ground floor

Take it leave it, I don't care
Just say I was playing fair
Nothing to be stressed about, cause
That's where I'm coming from
Everybody wants a piece
So mind your manners when you leave
Nothing to get vexed about, cause
That's where I'm coming from

I heard that you like bad girls, well hey
Rude boy, this could be your lucky day
Listen carefully to the words I say
Cause I know when I go, you'll be crying out for more

Bet you never knew it could be so sick
I will disappear if you miss a trick
So easy to start and so hard to kick
But I know when I go, you'll be crying out for more

Heey
Hold on to me real real tight
Let me go and see if I
Come back around or leave you on the ground floor

Take it leave it, I don't care
Just say I was playing fair
Nothing to be stressed about, cause
That's where I'm coming from
Everybody wants a piece
So mind your manners when you leave
Nothing to get vexed about, cause
That's where I'm coming from

You won't ever see me on your street
So find a little place for us to meet
If I gotta keep it short well at least it's sweet
And I know when I go, you'll be crying out for more

Heey
Hold on to me real real tight
Let me go and see if I
Come back around or leave you on the ground floor

Take it leave it, I don't care
Just say I was playing fair
Nothing to be stressed about, cause
That's where I'm coming from
Everybody wants a piece
So mind your manners when you leave




Nothing to get vexed about, cause
That's where I'm coming from

Overall Meaning

In "Where I'm Coming From," Little Nikki sings about a casual relationship with no strings attached and how she knows her partner will want more from her, despite the agreement to keep things limited. She wants her partner to be honest with her, and even though she enjoys the thrill of their time together, she knows that it will only last for a little while. Nikki suggests that they should take a leap and try something new, and if they make a mistake, they should let it slide because it's easy to get started but hard to stop. She also tells her partner to mind their manners when they leave because everyone wants a piece of her.


As the song continues, she tells her partner that he may have misunderstood her, but she's not looking for a long-term commitment. She prefers to keep their relationship short and sweet and keep it a secret, so she won't ever be seen in his neighborhood. Nikki invites him to find a place for them to meet, and she will disappear if he misses a trick. She reminds him that she's playing fair and not to stress, but if he wants more, she's not the one to give it to him.


Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of being upfront and honest in relationships and knowing when to let go.
