Nu Sounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are a bad bad Mrs.
In them skin tight britches
Runnin' folks in ditches
Baby about to bust the stitches, yeah
Skin tight, skin tight
Hold tight
You are a real fine lady
Though your walks a little shady
Step on the strip on time
There's money you're bound to find, yeah
Skin tight, skin tight
Skin tight, skin tight
Skin tight, skin tight
Hold tight
Gone, gone, gone with your bad self
Walk that walk, talk that talk mama
Skin tight
Hold me barely back girl
Keep on steppin' to me baby
The song "Skin Tight" by Nu Sounds is a funky R&B classic that exudes confidence and sensuality. The lyrics celebrate a woman who is confident in her skin and knows how to command attention with her tight-fitting pants. The opening lines set the tone for the song as the singer praises the woman, calling her a "bad bad Mrs." and acknowledging the effect she has on others with her attire. The second line, "runnin' folks in ditches," suggests that the woman's sex appeal is so powerful that it causes people to lose control.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the woman's physicality with the repeated phrase "skin tight." This is a reference to her clothing, but it also suggests that she feels comfortable in her own body and is confident enough to show it off. The line "baby about to bust the stitches" adds a playful touch, implying that the woman's pants are so tight that they might actually bust. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of admiration and respect for a woman who knows how to rock her look and turn heads wherever she goes.
