Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Bad Boy, bitch
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it (It feels good to be back, I missed ya)
Relax your mind, let your conscience be free
And I roll with the sounds of B-B-E
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it (You know what time it is, report to the dance floor)
It's bad boy, bitch (Talk to 'em)
See you out the corner of my eye
Leaning on the wall, looking fly
I want you to come be with me
You're the only one I wanna talk to
But I don't wanna rush
I'm here, when will you make your move?
I see you, I am me, I want cha, why don't cha
Come to me? I can be what you need, uh baby
I'm standing, been waiting, I'm yearning, I'm burning
Get to know me, come and get to know me
Come to show me that you wanna know me
You know who it is, I'm back in the building
Security strapped, still stacking a million
It's doubt with the stallion, somethin' Italian
Or maybe Puerto Rican, you can catch me in Paris
I'm in it to win it but willing to carry
The game, if you think I'm not, look at the carats
I buck clean about in a Phantom
The people go screaming like an opera anthem
I did it before, do it again
I got it to blow, got it to spin
Lies before, cool as the wind
Got hits go back like juice and gin, yea
Shine the best and diamond necklace
My extravagant taste, the style perplexes
They know I'm the ish, they wanna get next
That's why she had to fit 'cause she wanted to get next
I'm here, when will you make your move?
I see you, I am me, I want cha, why don't cha
Come to me? I can be what you need, uh baby
I'm standing, been waiting, I'm yearning, I'm burning
Get to know me, come and get to know me
Come to show me that you wanna know me
Anywhere I appear, they all stop and stare
Admire your body language, speaking loud and clear like (I want you to come be with me)
She be waiting, anticipating for oh so long
Fantasizing wild thoughts of me coming on like (I'm here, when will you make your move?)
She digging my style, my swag, my suede, my swerve
My way with words, the Boy's absurd for sure
You can't fall till my aura called
I make miracles like I walk on water
What you want, mama, order, it's on my tab
I'm so bad with the cash, I dropped the whole bag
Where you at, girl?
I'm here, when will you make your move?
I see you, I am me, I want cha, why don't cha
Come to me? I can be what you need, uh baby
I'm standing, been waiting, I'm yearning, I'm burning
Get to know me, come and get to know me
Come to show me that you wanna know me
I'm here right now, can't wait no more, no
You were the one who stole my heart
Can't you see the wait is over?
I need you to come closer
Please believe is getting stormy
You really got me hot
I see you, I am me, I want cha, why don't cha
Come to me? I can be what you need, uh baby
I'm standing, been waiting, I'm yearning, I'm burning
Get to know me, come and get to know me
Come to show me, it's Bad Boy bitch (Do it, do it, do it, do it)
The song "Come to Me" by P. Diddy featuring Nicole Scherzinger is a declaration of attraction and desire. The lyrics paint a picture of two people across the room from each other, one longing for the other to come over and start a conversation, to get to know each other on a deeper level. P. Diddy takes the lead in the verses, boasting about his wealth, style, and his way with words. Nicole Scherzinger steps in for the chorus, singing a sultry invitation to come to her, to be with her, promising to be all that the other person needs. The song is both confident and vulnerable, expressing the feeling of being drawn to someone even when there's uncertainty about how the other person feels.
The opening line of "Come to Me" sets the tone for the song and establishes P. Diddy's character. "It's Bad Boy, bitch" is a reference to his record label, Bad Boy Entertainment. The phrase is repeated throughout the song as a way of reminding listeners of P. Diddy's success and power. The chorus sung by Nicole Scherzinger is the most memorable part of the song, with its repetitious melody and simple but effective lyrics that express the longing of two people who are meant to be together.
One of the interesting facts about the song is that it samples the drum beat from the song “The Winstons – Amen, Brother,” which is often regarded as the “Amen Break”. The tune debuted at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, making it P. Diddy's highest new entry and Scherzinger's first appearance in a solo artist's song. The song was later sampled in Timbaland and Nelly Furtado’s hit “Promiscuous”. It is also one of the most successful tracks of P. Diddy's career, charting at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as topping the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Tracks charts.
Chords: Unfortunately, the chords aren't available as the song is predominantly electronic, with no instrumentals that can be played on an acoustic guitar, piano, or other traditional instruments.
In summary, "Come to Me" is a song about longing, desire, and attraction, with P. Diddy and Nicole Scherzinger as its protagonists. It is a perfect example of how the combination of rap and pop could be successful. The song has an infectious chorus that has garnered a legion of fans and led to its recognition as one of the most successful collaborations in the late 2000s.
