Want You
Lloyd feat. Andre 3000 & Nas Lyrics

I said, "What time you get off?"
I asked her what time she finishes work

She said, "When you get me off"
She responded by saying she finishes when we finish having sex

I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
I laughed at her response but then started coughing

'Cause I swallowed down the wrong pipe
The cough was because I had swallowed something down the wrong pipe

"Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right"
I said that phrase as a joke, even though I don't really know the meaning

"So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in Paris"
I felt ashamed and embarrassed standing there in Whole Foods

"I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but"
If we were in a different location, I would have kissed her

"We in the middle of whole foods, and those foods"
We were in the busy Whole Foods store

"Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think they hated tofu"
The people in Whole Foods were arguing and causing a scene, even though the store is known for healthy and non-confrontational food choices

"Check-in line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy"
The lines at the check-in got chaotic and my vision became blurry

"I started seeing circles like some Audi Emblem"
I began to see circles, similar to the Audi car emblem

"I'm hearing them say, come on man"
I could hear them telling me to move on

"Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man"
They were telling me to do what I need to do in my own time and to leave them alone

"I walked out, hm, I got bout"
I left the store and walked towards my car

"Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout"
When I was halfway to my car, I heard a woman shout

"Three thousand, forgot your credit card, smart move"
The woman recalled my name and told me I forgot my credit card

"By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
She told me that her sister is a fan of a cartoon I had worked on

"Well, here's my name and numb"
I gave her my name and phone number

"If I ain't the one, lose it, if I am, use it"
If I'm not the one she's interested in, she can throw my information away. If she's interested, she can use it to contact me

"If a man chooses, and he can, do's it"
If a man wants to pursue something, he can choose to do it

"And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped"
If he doesn't choose to pursue it, don't take it personally. He could be busy with other things

"With making mozzarella, no, making worlds better"
He could be busy doing something that is improving the world, like making cheese

"Cheese will come, believe me, I'm, never focused on the cash"
I believe that success will come naturally, I'm not always focused on money

"Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass, ion"
As an exclamation, I'm saying that I'm not too concerned about something. Similar to saying 'I'm about to pass out'

"Stop, baby bring that thang back"
I'm telling her to stop and bring that thing (her body) back to me

"You know where my heart at"
She knows where my true feelings are

"Shorty, show your boy some love"
I'm asking her to give me some affection

"'Cause I'm about to lose it"
I'm telling her that I'm about to lose control

"With the way you move it"
I'm referring to the way she's dancing/moving

"It's been making me do it"
Her dancing is a contributing factor to why I'm losing control

"Girl tell me what it do"
I'm asking her to tell me what's going on between us

"I'll change the game for you"
I'm willing to do something different for the sake of our relationship

"I'm a player, yes it's true, but"
I'm admitting that I'm a player, but there's more to me than that

"Can I be for real?"
Can I be honest and real with you for a moment?

"This is how I feel"
I want to express how I truly feel

"I'm in need of love"
I'm admitting that I'm looking for love

"So let's dip up out of here"
Let's leave this place and go somewhere else

"Ooh, you just my type"
You're exactly the kind of person I've been looking for

"Everything's so right"
Everything between us feels perfect

"And I just wanna chill"
I just want to relax with you

"Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah"
This part is just the musical interlude, without any specific meaning

"She's fine too, but I want you"
While there may be other attractive women around, I'm only interested in her

"I'll admit it, this just ain't no game"
I'm willing to admit that I'm serious about this

"These just ain't words that I'm spittin'"
I'm not just saying things for the sake of it, these are real feelings

"If you could see the thoughts that's in my head"
If she could read my thoughts, she would understand how serious I am

"I'm trippin', I'm a player yea it's true"
I'm feeling torn between my player lifestyle and my desire for a deeper connection

"But I'll change the game for you"
I'm willing to do something different for the sake of our relationship

"I wanna see what it do, ooh"
I really want to see where this could go with her

"Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah"
This part is just the musical interlude, without any specific meaning

"She's fine too, but I want you"
While there may be other attractive women around, I'm only interested in her

"Yeah, Nas be in the crib low, strip pollin' it"
Nas is relaxing at home and enjoying looking at women

"Cold Guinness, bitter taste, slim waist, I'm gon' hit it"
He's drinking Guinness beer and finds a slim-waisted woman attractive

"We low-key baby, like a baritone"
We're keeping things low-key, like a deep male singing voice

He's saying that love and sex are the same as pimping, and he doesn't want to rest with any of them

"I would leave every one of em, you just say it"
He would leave all of his other partners just for her

"Just leave it the way it is, he ain't aware that sleepin' dogs lie"
She should leave things as they are and not worry about her current partner finding out

"But keep a sharp eye on him, cause I'm the wrong guy"
She should still be cautious about her current partner, but she should know that Nas is not the one to mess with

"To wanna put this four-five on em, let's get it on, ma"
Nas is saying that he's willing to fight her current partner over her, and suggests they have sex

"You got my nose wide open"

"You already locked down and rot down, but so delicious"
She's already in a committed relationship, but Nas still finds her attractive

"If he get suspicious, bring up his old mistress"
If her partner becomes suspicious, she should bring up his ex to throw him off

"I ain't dry-snitchin', but why should you be feelin' bad"
Nas isn't telling on her, but he wonders why she should feel guilty

"Cause I be killin' that, huh?"
He's saying that he's great in bed, so why worry about anything else?

"Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah"
This part is just the musical interlude, without any specific meaning

"She's fine too, but I want you"
While there may be other attractive women around, I'm only interested in her
