Mess
Marques Houston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light bulbs start to flicker
Anatomy's getting bigger

As we make our way up to the
I stop you in the hallway
Kissing all over your body
We damn near fall through the door
Now we both holding on
So

When I get you in that bedroom
Knocking stuff over
Have me ripping off your clothes girl
When I bend you over
Before our night is done girl
I'm gone make you come girl
You gone make me come
You gone be saying yes yes yes
We just made a mess (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)

Now we both breathing heavy
The time has come are you ready
Buttons dropping off your blouse
While you was up in my pants
You pull it out
You push me against the wall
And put it in your mouth
I'm about to blow
You better stop now
Open up the door
Pushing you down on the bed
Like I said

When I get you in that bedroom
Knocking stuff over
Have me ripping off your clothes girl
When I bend you over
Before our night is done girl
I'm gone make you come girl
You gone make me come
You gone be saying yes yes yes
We just made a mess (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)

I only one question right now (right now)
Which one of us is going to get the towel (girl we both are down)

When I get you in that bedroom
Knocking stuff over
Have me ripping off your clothes girl
When I bend you over
Before our night is done girl
I'm gone make you come girl
You gone make me come
You gone be saying yes yes yes
We just made a mess (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)
We just made a mess yeah (eh eh eh eh ess)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marques Houston's song Mess describe a steamy sexual encounter between two people in a bedroom. The start of the encounter is suggested by the light bulbs flickering and the "anatomy getting bigger", creating a sense of anticipation and excitement. They make their way to the bedroom, but can't even wait to get there before they start kissing all over each other's bodies. They almost fall through the door in their passion and are holding on to each other tightly. Then, the scene shifts to the bedroom where they continue their lovemaking, knocking stuff over and ripping each other's clothes off. The song emphasizes the physical sensations of sex, with the lyrics suggesting that both partners will reach orgasm ("I'm gone make you come girl / You gone make me come"). The chorus repeats the phrase "We just made a mess", suggesting that they had a wild and messy time in bed.
