Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So sick of saying yes sir, yes sir
You're such an instigator, you wanna play the game
Take it or leave it, that's her, that's her
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving
You're body rocking, keep me up all night
Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep up all night, this is what it sounds like
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million, my lucky strike
Stuck in her elevator, she take me to the sky
And I don't wanna go down, go down
She said I'll feel you later, go ahead and fantasize
She'll make me want her right now, right now
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving
You're body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike
Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep up all night, this is what it sounds like
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million, my lucky strike
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
You're shaking like an earthquake
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
You're shaking like an earthquake
Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep up all night, this is what it sounds like
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million, my lucky strike
My lucky strike, my lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million

You're such a motivator, I gotta get you here
You inspire me so much that I can't wait to have you by my side
So sick of saying yes sir, yes sir
I'm tired of constantly agreeing to everything
You're such an instigator, you wanna play the game
You love to create chaos and stir things up
Take it or leave it, that's her, that's her
She's resolute and won't change her mind
And I can't wait another minute
I'm eagerly anticipating her arrival
I can't take the look she's giving
Her gaze is making me weak in the knees
You're body rocking, keep me up all night
Your moves are so intoxicating that I can't sleep
One in a million, my lucky strike
You are unique and special, like a rare find
Got me so high and then she dropped me
She made me feel great and then brought me down
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Regardless, I'm still under her spell
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She brought me to her place and then blew my mind
This is what it sounds like
This is what it feels like to be with her
(Oh) My lucky strike
I'm grateful and lucky to have her
You're shaking like an earthquake
You're so powerful and intense, like an earthquake
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
Being with you is like a healing balm, erasing all my troubles
