Omarion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark clouds were rolling
And you told me to pull over, told me to get over
Don't need falling, girl it's too thick to see throw
Stop and then get rolling
Girl ain't no need to speed throw
Now they can't see ya
But even if they could still couldn't see us
Girl you know I need ya
Why you think to let it go
Hands off my but you could put it back on my neck
I love your steam
Rising on your body like a dream
How we know it's small?
Even if they come close
They never know
Come, feel so lonely
Bring your body close,
Baby I can keep you worm
But if you don't take off your close we'll never know
I like the way you ride
You like the way that I drive it
It complement my ride don't know what's going on inside it
You said the love is a crime
That's why you feel so exciting
Girl you cannot denied it
Well you should let me inside
Got you open, unedifying
It's cold in here,
I love your steam
Rising on your body like a dream
How we know it's small?
Even if they come close
They never know
Come, feel so lonely
Bring your body close,
Baby I can keep you worm
But if you don't take off your close we'll never know
I love your steam
