Step Aside
Monrose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Straight out the gate boy right from the door
Seen you through the crowd just shining like gold
Wanted to join you doin' that two step but I waited cause,
I saw you were kinda preoccupied
But she had a problem keepin' your eye
I had you more focused on me movin' my body

Tryna' wait for the song to be over
So I can cut in between
Cause she really ain't doin' her thing
What you need is
Some of this what I got right here
For you we can be a better team
And it's all about that time
You go and tell her just ...

Step aside, step aside
This one is mine
If you ain't gonna' handle it
I'd gladly take him here on the floor
Step aside, step aside
Gimme the light
I'm sorry but excuse me miss
His eyes are sayin' I'm what he wants
It's only right let me by step aside, side

It's clear you're the type that comes out to flaunt
Can't help I'm the type to get what I want
Just came to dance have a good time not try to be shady no
See the DJ burnin' it up on the floor playin' them joint That make me want more
Hold up the wall if you want, but let him go lady

Tryna' wait for the song to be over
So I can cut in between
Cause she really ain't doin' her thing
What you need is
Some of this what I got right here
For you we can be a better team
And it's all about that time
You go and tell her just ...

Step aside, step aside
This one is mine
If you ain't gonna' handle it
I'd gladly take him here on the floor
Step aside, step aside
Gimme the light
I'm sorry but excuse me miss
His eyes are sayin' I'm what he wants
It's only right let me by step aside, side

Wish there was nobody else here
So we could lose it
X out the crowd make them disappear
There's nothing to it
Let's start by sending her off to the right
Let the rest take its place in time boy
Before the song is over

Step aside, step aside
This one is mine
If you ain't gonna' handle it
I'd gladly take him here on the floor
Step aside, step aside
Gimme the light
I'm sorry but excuse me miss




His eyes are sayin' I'm what he wants
It's only right let me by step aside, side

Line by Line Meaning

Straight out the gate boy right from the door
I saw you immediately as soon as I walked in


Seen you through the crowd just shining like gold
You caught my attention even in the midst of a crowd


Wanted to join you doin' that two step but I waited cause,
I wanted to join you dancing, but I waited because


I saw you were kinda preoccupied
You seemed to be focused on something or someone else


But she had a problem keepin' your eye
The person you were with had trouble keeping your attention


I had you more focused on me movin' my body
I got you more interested in me by dancing suggestively


Tryna' wait for the song to be over
I was waiting for this song to finish playing


So I can cut in between
So that I can interrupt your dance with her


Cause she really ain't doin' her thing
Because she isn't really impressing you with her dance moves


What you need is
What you need right now is


Some of this what I got right here
Some of what I have to offer


For you we can be a better team
You and I can make a better pair


And it's all about that time
It's the right moment


You go and tell her just ...
You should tell her to move aside


Step aside, step aside
Please move away from him


This one is mine
He belongs to me now


If you ain't gonna' handle it
If you can't handle the competition


I'd gladly take him here on the floor
I'll happily dance with him here on the floor


Gimme the light
Give me a chance


I'm sorry but excuse me miss
I'm sorry, but please move


His eyes are sayin' I'm what he wants
He's looking at me like he wants to dance with me


It's only right let me by step aside, side
It's only fair that you let me dance with him now


Wish there was nobody else here
I wish there was no one else around us


So we could lose it
So we could get lost in the moment


X out the crowd make them disappear
Can we make the crowd disappear


There's nothing to it
It's easy


Let's start by sending her off to the right
Let's start by moving her to the side


Let the rest take its place in time boy
Let's not worry about anything else and just enjoy the moment
