Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thirsty, baby bring it over here
Ching, ching, gettin' paid over here
Ching, ching, gettin' paid over here
Thirsty, baby bring it over here
Thirsty, baby bring it over here
Ching, ching, gettin' paid over here
I wanna kiss you, girl, I wanna kiss you
Girl, I wanna love you
Oh, am I moving too fast?
Fuck that (Well, well, well)
Your momma must have taught you well
'Cause you taste so purified
Need to get it while it's hot cause I'm cold at times
Open up to me and drop your guard, I need the proof
Constantly to know if you still have a heart
'Cause a nigga done fucked up I feel like I lucked up at north side
But hop in your car and bring it to me
Promise to love you, and obey
And hit it more than once a day
Girl I say that genuinely
Fuck that bitch, it's what you say
Bring it over
Bring it over
Baby bring it over
Bring it over to me
Now, baby, bring it over
Bring it over
Baby bring it over to me
Bring it, bring it
But does he kiss you, girl?
Does he kiss you, girl, does he love you?

Am I moving too fast?
Fuck that (My, my, my)
I thought you were always mine (Yea, I thought some shit)
I'll play my role, just give me the script
Time to let go, tell him give you your shit
Hop in your whip, girl
I'm back in the 6, girl
Still need a bad bitch who thirsty
Shawty holla at me if you heard me
Promise to love you, and obey
And hit it more than once a day
Girl I say that genuinely
Fuck that bitch, it's what you say
Bring it over

Baby bring it over
Bring it over to me
Now, baby, bring it over
Bring it over
Baby bring it over to me
Bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it
The song "Thirsty" by PARTYNEXTDOOR is about the singer's desire for a woman whom he believes is pure and refined. He sings, "Your momma must have taught you well 'cause you taste so purified." However, he also expresses his impatience and desperation for her companionship, urging her to come to him with the repeated line "Thirsty, baby bring it over here." He promises to love and obey her, and to have sex with her multiple times a day if she comes to him.
The second verse features the singer questioning whether the woman's current partner treats her as well as he could, and urging her to leave him and be with him instead. He raps, "Tell him give you your shit, hop in your whip, girl, I'm back in the 6, girl," which seems to suggest he's in Toronto and willing to take the woman away from her current life.
Overall, the song is about a man's attraction to a woman and willingness to treat her well, but it also reveals some problematic attitudes towards women as objects to be won over and claimed.
