Neptune
Nikolay Krivin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude
But you ain't looking at no other dudes cause you love me
(I'm sorry but. so sexy)
So you think about a chance
You find yourself trying to do my dance
Maybe cause you love me
(Uh, you do it well)
So then we tried - singing it slow now
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched (fast we touched)
Then we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gonna tear your ass up (tear your ass up)

I know that I'm carrying on, nevermind if I'm showing off
I was just fronting (you know I want you babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya (you should stop fronting babe)

Trying to be the best girlfriend you could be
But still you sneak and look at me, and girl I love it
Then you give your other girl a shove
Tell her you gonna call her ass how it was
And she's gonna love it
(whoa-oh whoa, yeah yeah)
So then we tried - singing it slow now
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched
(fast we touched)
Then we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gonna tear your ass up (tear your ass up)

We got another one Pharrell!
I call you "for real" cause you the truth
Young, great Hova
Let me talk to 'em
I'mma keep it real

Every time your name was brought up
I would act all nonchalant in front of an audience
Like if you was just another shorty I put the naughty on
But uh, truth be told you threw me for a loop, this Hov
I'm too old to be frontin' what I'm feeling
Denzelin', acting like you ain't appealing when you are
Stuntin' like you ain't my only girl, when you are (I was just fronting)
I'm ready to stop when you are

Dance, ooooooh ooooh
Whoa-oh, oh ohhhh




Dance, ooooooh ooooh
Whoa-oh, oh ohhhh
