Bringin' It
Mike Pinto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I heard that you found someone special
Girl I heard it all and I'm sick of it
Damn you lookin' finer, finer than ever
'Cause girl, you got the legs that just won't quit

Back to the crown that you drag around every now and then
Got you tied down in a relationship
But I bet he wouldn't give you the lovin' that I could

Love that feels so good bite your bottom lip
When it's time to say my name, you'll be singing it
While I'm bringin' it, bringin' it, bringin' it
while I'm bringin' it, bringin' it, bringin' it

You may think that I'm just another man around
You may think that I'm just full of it
If you want a taste of what you're missin'
Come with me and try yourself a little bit
If I'm denied well that's fine, I won't stress none
I'll move on to the next one, and you'll be glad that you can still commit

There'll be a night where your man won't satisfy
You'll realize that you're no longer into it
You'll be wide awake, he'll be fast asleep
Suddenly it'll hit you like a ton of bricks
Then you start to cry and you wonder why
Wonder why you never let me hit that shit
And when that day comes I swear I'll be somewhere
Somewhere bringin' it, bringin' it, bringin' it
Somewhere bringin' it, bringin' it, bringin' it
