Monifah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, yo
Somebody felt my ass?
Yo who felt my ass?
Alright
That's the way y'all want to play
I got you
Yo Mo uh-huh TR
Yo Mo the verse, ah

I feel you checkin' me
I'm all up in your steez
My favorite jam is on
Don't make me wait too long

So what you gonna do?
I'll back it up for you
If you can do me right
You can take me home tonight

This is just a taste I'll give you
On the dance floor
Let me feel you right
Maybe you'll get some more

And to my surprise I feel your rise
Your story's hot
Meet me at the bar
We're gonna handle ours
Come on

Rescue me
Take me out this club
I'll be your fantasy
Be my destiny

Take me home with you
Do all the things you do
We'll go on and on
Till the break of dawn

You know I'm with my crew
But I'll go home with you
You see it's been so long
I want to see you take it off

Listen close to me
This how it's gonna be
We're gonna dance some more
Then we're sneakin' out the door

As we dance I see you sweatin'
And it turns me on
Hmm I can't wait, to come in out this storm
When you take me home

Don't waste no time
Don't need no bed, don't need no lights
Just make me moan
'Cause I gets my freak on and on

Rescue me
Take me out this club
I'll be your fantasy
Be my destiny

Take me home with you
Do all the things you do
We'll go on and on
'Til the break of dawn

Rescue me
Take me out this club
I'll be your fantasy
Be my destiny

Take me home with you
Do all the things you do
We'll go on and on
'Til the break of dawn

I'll meet you at your car
I'll follow you home
(So we can bone)
My fantasy

Five hundred is fast
Take me home, take me home
Once inside
I'll be your ride

Come on
(Yeah)
Can you handle it?
Just come tonight

Can't you see my eyes?
It's on

Rescue me
Take me out this club
I'll be your fantasy
Be my destiny

Take me home with you
Do all the things you do
We'll go on and on
'Til the break of dawn

Rescue me
Take me out this club
I'll be your fantasy
Be my destiny

Take me home with you
Do all the things you do

We'll go on and on
'Til the break of dawn

I can feel you getting aroused

I want to see you undress

Listen close to me
Pay attention to what I'm about to say

This how it's gonna be
This is what's going to happen

We're gonna dance some more
We're going to keep dancing

Then we're sneakin' out the door
Then we'll leave quietly

As we dance I see you sweatin'
As we dance, I notice you're sweating

And it turns me on
I find it sexy

Hmm I can't wait, to come in out this storm
I can't wait to get out of the club and into a more intimate setting

When you take me home
Once we get to your place

Don't waste no time
Let's not waste any time

Don't need no bed, don't need no lights
We don't need a bed or lights to have fun

Just make me moan
Just pleasure me

'Cause I gets my freak on and on
Because I love to be wild and adventurous

I'll meet you at your car
Let's meet at your car

I'll follow you home
I'll follow you to your place

(So we can bone)
(So we can have sex)

My fantasy
My dream come true

Five hundred is fast
Your car is fast

Take me home, take me home
Bring me to your place

Once inside
After we're inside your place

I'll be your ride
I'll be your partner for the night

Can you handle it?
Can you keep up with me?

Just come tonight
Just be with me tonight

Can't you see my eyes?
Can't you tell how much I want you?

It's on
It's happening, let's go
