Do You Remember
Montell Jordan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby
What do you do
When I'm not there
Question been on my mind
Letting you know I'm coming
But before I get there
Tell me do you
Do you play the music low
And burn your candles
Do you touch yourself
Pretending that you're me
Do you think of me
With toys and things inside you
Do you wish your hands
Were my hand
Making you scream
Oh baby
Do you
Do you think of me
Do you wish I was there
Killing you softly
Do you
Do you
Do you

Do you still close your eyes
Every night and fantasize
Baby tell me
Do you
Do you lick your lips
Remembering how it tasted
Do you miss the tender
Kisses down below
Do your fingers do the walking
When you hear our favorite
Song again
I want to know
How do you please yourself
When you're all alone

Chorus 2X

Tell me what do you do
When I'm not there
Do you massage your own body
Do you wash your own hair




Do you caress your own thighs
Do you
