Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Chorus]
Hey girl, you want to be with me?
Because I need someone to be with, someone to talk to
You cold want to be with me
Because you need someone to be with, someone to talk to
You want to be with me?
You cold want to be with me
Because you need someone to be with, someone to talk to
Because the way I live nowadays
People are different, they act real funny towards me
They say, I think, I'm nice
Why, because I'm makin' records? But I'm still the same Doctor Ice
The same with me, they make me laugh
People gettin' jealous (cause we be signin' autographs)
I try to figure it out, no doubt
(But the way things are goin') I'm ready to jet out
Word, gettin' a girl is hard, it ain't funny
Kangol don't know if she want me or my money
So I'm bein' picky, cause I ain't sure
And I'm livin' a life you might call insecure
I want a nice individualistic that's not materialistic
Not bein' egotistic, ???I decide consentualistic???
The body artistic, a little bit of lipstick
Those the type of girls that make the Doc lovesick
Well, I'm definitely a lover, hard when I'm undercover
I'll do kinky things to you if you swear not to tell your mother
I'll push, but I won't shove ya, as long as I'm above ya
When I leave just promise me, "Kangol ???? I love ya"
I want a girl with action, 'control' like Janet Jackson
I hate the dark, I'm on the light so I can see reaction
Against all relaxin', prepare for steady waxin'
When you leave you must pay E for what? Satisfaction
[Chorus]
Tired of these girls tryin' to play the role
Every time I see em, they're on a stroll
Teasin' the fellas, wearin' tight pants
Leadin' us on after a slow dance
But in search of love that's how I'm livin'
I want a girl to give me the same thing that I am givin'
To her, from now till the day I depart
But she's got to be a redbone, a beautiful work of art
That is the way this pisces views
Like Gigi Williams on the Eye-Witness News
I hate a girl that knows every guy
Before you introduce, he already says hi
I feel like punchin' her dead in the grill
But that's ill, so Doc just chills
'Cause if it's meant to happen, that's how it'll be
She wants to be with me and I know this for sure
I can tell as soon as she walks through the door
Swings and sways and shakes her stuff like Jello
Waitin' for EMD to say hello
Skin-tight clothing with everything left hangin'
And all the boys admit that she's well worth bangin'
She only talks the talk, never walks the walk
She must be the most ???? up in all New York
Acts like an angel, pretends that she's a saint
A least that's the pretty picture she would love to paint
She's extraordinary, definitely rare
And anyway you want me, baby, I'll be there
I make you feel 'protect', fill you with bliss
'Send a chill up' your body with just one kiss
But if you don't show, I won't be stunned
Give your mother my number, I know she'll come
[Chorus]
I want a girl that'll turn me on
When I say 'go', I want to hear her say 'gone'
When I say 'leave', I want to hear her say 'left'
And if I say 'was it good', she better say 'def'
'Cause that's the kinda girl that I am lookin' for
I really don't think there are anymore
But if one appears one day
I walk up to her and gently say
I've been starin' at you a while
And every time you see me starin' you crack a smile
You cold want to be with me, it's true
If you didn't, I wouldn't be next to you
So please stop perpetrating
Girl, I'm tired of waiting
For you to hurry up and make your so-called move
That you been talkin' about makin', girl, show and prove
There's really no need to talk about it
You know what I want, so what about it?
We can either go fast or slow
Cause I'll be in and out before you know
You say you're resisting
But yet you're still kissing
Everybody know that I been wantin' you to kiss
Hey girl, here's a spot you missed
So cold
The lyrics to O.L.D.F.I.X.'s "Be With Me" describe the struggles of finding genuine love amidst fame and materialism. The song starts with the artist expressing his desire for someone to be with, to talk to, and asking if the listener would want to be with him. He describes how people treat him differently because he's a recording artist and how challenging it is to find a genuine person to connect with. He then goes on to explain that money and fame come with their own set of problems, making it hard to know if someone is being sincere or just after his wealth. He knows what he wants in a partner, someone who is not materialistic, egotistical but rather individualistic, with an artistic body. Despite his struggles, he hasn't given up on the possibility of finding love.
In the second verse, the artist expresses his frustration towards girls who play games and lead men on. He wants a girl who is honest and does not play games. He describes the perfect girl as someone who 'turns him on', someone who is not afraid to say 'def' when he asks whether the encounter was good. He concludes by telling the girl he's interested in to show and prove and not just talk about making a move.
Overall, the song highlights the universal struggle of finding genuine love in a world where materialism and superficiality are the norm. The artist's honesty in describing his own struggles gives the song a relatable quality that many listeners would resonate with.

Ya cold want to be with me
You really want to be with me
[Chorus]
Repeated chorus
Because the way I live nowadays
Due to the way I live my life now
People are different, they act real funny towards me
People behave strangely towards me because I'm different
They say, I think, I'm nice
They claim I'm kind
Why, because I'm makin' records? But I'm still the same Doctor Ice
Is it because I'm making music? But I'm still the same person
The same with me, they make me laugh
The same thing happens to me, they make me laugh
People gettin' jealous (cause we be signin' autographs)
People get jealous because we're signing autographs
I try to figure it out, no doubt
I try to understand it, without a doubt
(But the way things are goin') I'm ready to jet out
But with the way things are going, I'm ready to leave
Word, gettin' a girl is hard, it ain't funny
Getting a girl is difficult, it's not amusing
Kangol don't know if she want me or my money
Kangol doesn't know if she wants me or my money
So I'm bein' picky, cause I ain't sure
So I'm being selective because I'm unsure
And I'm livin' a life you might call insecure
And I'm living a life that could be considered insecure
I want a nice individualistic that's not materialistic
I want a unique and non-materialistic person
Not bein' egotistic, ???I decide consentualistic???
Not being egotistic, ???I choose consentualistic???
The body artistic, a little bit of lipstick
An artistic body, with a touch of lipstick
Those the type of girls that make the Doc lovesick
Those are the type of girls that make me lovesick
Well, I'm definitely a lover, hard when I'm undercover
Well, I'm definitely a lover, especially when I'm discreet
I'll do kinky things to you if you swear not to tell your mother
I'll do adventurous things to you if you promise not to tell anyone
I'll push, but I won't shove ya, as long as I'm above ya
I'll be assertive, but not aggressive, as long as I'm in control
When I leave just promise me, 'Kangol ???? I love ya'
When I leave, just promise me that you'll say 'Kangol ???? I love you'
I want a girl with action, 'control' like Janet Jackson
I want a girl who is active and in control like Janet Jackson
I hate the dark, I'm on the light so I can see reaction
I dislike darkness, I prefer light to observe reactions
Against all relaxin', prepare for steady waxin'
Despite any relaxation, be ready for intense activity
When you leave you must pay E for what? Satisfaction
When you leave, you should leave satisfied
[Chorus]
Repeated chorus
Tired of these girls tryin' to play the role
I'm tired of girls pretending to be someone they're not
Every time I see em, they're on a stroll
Whenever I see them, they're just hanging out
Teasin' the fellas, wearin' tight pants
Teasing the guys, wearing tight pants
Leadin' us on after a slow dance
Giving us false hope after a slow dance
But in search of love that's how I'm livin'
But I'm looking for love, that's how I live
I want a girl to give me the same thing that I am givin'
I want a girl who can reciprocate what I give
To her, from now till the day I depart
To her, from now until the day I leave
But she's got to be a redbone, a beautiful work of art
But she has to be a redbone, a stunning work of art
That is the way this pisces views
That's how I, a Pisces, see it
Like Gigi Williams on the Eye-Witness News
Like Gigi Williams on the Eye-Witness News
I hate a girl that knows every guy
I dislike a girl who knows every guy
Before you introduce, he already says hi
Before you introduce, he already greets her
I feel like punchin' her dead in the grill
I feel like punching her directly in the face
But that's ill, so Doc just chills
But that's wrong, so I'll just calm down
'Cause if it's meant to happen, that's how it'll be
Because if it's meant to happen, that's how it will be
She wants to be with me and I know this for sure
She wants to be with me and I'm certain of that
I can tell as soon as she walks through the door
I can tell as soon as she enters
Swings and sways and shakes her stuff like Jello
She moves and shakes like Jello
Waitin' for EMD to say hello
Waiting for EMD to greet her
Skin-tight clothing with everything left hangin'
Wearing tight clothes with everything exposed
And all the boys admit that she's well worth bangin'
And all the boys agree that she's worth pursuing
She only talks the talk, never walks the walk
She only talks but doesn't back it up with actions
She must be the most ???? up in all New York
She must be the most ???? up girl in all of New York
Acts like an angel, pretends that she's a saint
Acts like an angel, pretends to be a saint
A least that's the pretty picture she would love to paint
At least, that's the ideal image she wants to create
She's extraordinary, definitely rare
She's extraordinary, truly unique
And anyway you want me, baby, I'll be there
And however you want me, baby, I'll be there
I make you feel 'protect', fill you with bliss
I make you feel protected and bring you happiness
'Send a chill up' your body with just one kiss
I send a shiver through your body with just one kiss
But if you don't show, I won't be stunned
But if you don't show up, I won't be surprised
Give your mother my number, I know she'll come
Give your mother my number, I know she'll be interested
[Chorus]
Repeated chorus
I want a girl that'll turn me on
I want a girl who can excite me
When I say 'go', I want to hear her say 'gone'
When I ask her to go, I want to hear her saying 'I'm gone'
When I say 'leave', I want to hear her say 'left'
When I tell her to leave, I want her to say 'I'm gone'
And if I say 'was it good', she better say 'def'
And if I ask her if it was good, she better say 'definitely'
'Cause that's the kinda girl that I am lookin' for
Because that's the type of girl I'm searching for
I really don't think there are anymore
I really don't believe there are any more
But if one appears one day
But if one appears someday
I walk up to her and gently say
I approach her and say gently
I've been starin' at you a while
I've been staring at you for a while
And every time you see me starin' you crack a smile
And every time you notice me staring, you smile
You cold want to be with me, it's true
You really want to be with me, it's true
If you didn't, I wouldn't be next to you
If you didn't want to, I wouldn't be next to you
So please stop perpetrating
So please stop pretending
Girl, I'm tired of waiting
Girl, I'm tired of waiting
For you to hurry up and make your so-called move
For you to hurry up and make your supposed move
That you been talkin' about makin', girl, show and prove
That you've been talking about, girl, show and prove
There's really no need to talk about it
There's really no need to discuss it
You know what I want, so what about it?
You know what I want, so what do you say?
We can either go fast or slow
We can either go quickly or gradually
Cause I'll be in and out before you know
Because I'll be gone before you realize
You say you're resisting
You say you're resisting
But yet you're still kissing
But yet you're still kissing
Everybody know that I been wantin' you to kiss
Everybody knows that I've been wanting you to kiss me
Hey girl, here's a spot you missed
Hey girl, there's a spot you missed
So cold
