And then I understand. mm

The lyrics of Nelly's song Paradise describe a romantic encounter between two people where their feelings for each other become more evident through their physical interaction. The first and second stanzas of the song talk about a woman who holds the singer's hand, and then he understands what she wants. Her eyes are filled with desire, and they end up sharing a heavenly kiss. The singer is unable to resist her advances, and as she dims the lights, she holds him tight, leading to a series of fond caresses that ultimately takes him to "paradise."
In the third and fourth stanzas, the gender roles are reversed, and it's the singer who holds the hand of his lover. He also understands what his partner wants and responds with a passionate kiss. She also responds, and as he dims the lights, she embraces him tightly, leading to a series of caresses that would take her to paradise. The song describes the emotional and physical connection that two people can share when they're in love. The idea of paradise is used to symbolize the perfect union and the realization of their love.
