Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gone, she got me gone
Girl you know you got me gone

Nelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Boy you know you got me gone

Remember that chick that used to live right up the block from me
I seen her yesterday and she still fly
She still right, still tight, still fine
Yep I still wanna make her mine
And I, I want much more than just a moment
See I ain't tryna lease or tryin' to rent I'm tryna own it yeah
This time I'll make my move, this time I'll show improve
To prove that I'm really irreplaceable

Plus I don't know if she's ever been told
But I got whatever she needs, yeah
And whichever way we go
No one could ever take what we've got right here between one another
Don't care what they say, you gon' be my lover
And if its in love baby, I wanna fall
Just promise me baby you'll be here, through it all

I'll do it again if I have to
Throw this money at you
Girl you know you got me gone

I'll do it all again if I had to
You ain't gotta ask boo
Boy you know you got me gone

Kelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Girl you know you got me gone

Nelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Boy you know you got me gone

You know I still got the love for you baby (baby)
You still be driving me crazy (crazy)
And all of my heart will forever be yours
And no one could ever break what we've got right here between one another
Don't care what they say, you gon' be my lover
And if its in love baby I wanna fall
Just promise me baby, you'll be here through it all

I'll do it again if I have to
Throw this money at you
Girl you know you got me gone

I'll do it all again if I have to
You ain't gotta ask boo

Kelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Girl you know you got me gone

Nelly got me gone, gone, gone, gone
Boy you know you got me gone

Look shawty I've done told you once
Pay attention I'mma tell you twice
I've been around the world but I've never met a girl like you in my whole life
There's some you need to know
You make me wanna get physical
You make me wanna get intimate, into it
I'm fixing the plug

All my heart and all my time
I give you everything that you wanted baby, just name your price
Mine is yours and yours is mine
Trust me that's a fact girl
You ain't gotta ask 'cause
I don't know if you've ever been told
But I've got whatever you need, girl
And whichever way we roll
No one could ever take what we've got right here between one another
Don't care what they say, you gon' be my lover
And if its in love baby, I wanna fall
Just promise me baby you'll be here through it all

I'll do it again if I have to
Throw this money at you
Girl you know you got me gone
