Uh-huh
Hey hey
Hmm

lately, I been tryin' to ask you boy
If maybe, I can get much closer to you
I like the way that you move
Oh yeah

And you're so innocent
Please don't take this wrong 'cause it's a compliment
I just wanna get with your flow
You've gotta learn to let go

Oh baby, won't you

Work it a little
Get hot, just a little
Meet me, in the middle
Let go, just a little bit more (just a little bit more)
Gimme just a little bit more

(Just a little)

Let me, I'll do anything if you just let me
(Come on baby)
Find a way to make you explore
I know you wanna break down those walls
Yeah
And its so challenging
Getting close to you, what I'm imagining
I just wanna see you get down
You gotta let it all out

Oh baby, won't you

Work it a little
Get hot, just a little
Meet me, in the middle
Let go, just a little bit more (let go just a little)
Gimme just a little bit more (gimme just a little bit more)

Work it a little
Get hot, just a little (just a little bit)
Meet me, in the middle
Let go, just a little bit more (oh , just a little bit more)
Gimme just a little bit more

(Just a little)

It's so exciting, the way your inviting me
(I know you really like it like that, ah)
I can't get enough, won't you satisfy my needs
Will you? will you?

Work it a little
Get hot, just a little
Meet me, in the middle
Let go, just a little bit more (just a little bit more)
Gimme just a little bit more
(Just a little bit more, just a little bit)

Work it a little
Get hot, just a little
Meet me, in the middle (in the middle let go)
Let go, just a little bit more
Gimme just a little bit more (oh , just a little bit more)

Work it a little
Get hot, just a little
Meet me, in the middle (in the middle let go)
Let go, just a little bit more
Gimme just a little bit more (oh , just a little bit more)

lately, I been tryin' to ask you boy
If maybe
I like the way that you move




Gimme just a little bit more
You've gotta let go

Overall Meaning

The song “Just a Little” by Play is about a woman who wants to get closer to a man she is interested in. The lyrics are full of sexual innuendos, suggesting that she wants to explore more intimately with the man. The woman finds the guy innocent, and it becomes a compliment because of his shyness. She encourages him to let go of his inhibitions and work it a little, i.e., improve his style or dancing technique.


Throughout the song, the woman tries to convince the man to let himself go physically and emotionally, hence the repetition of ‘just a little bit more’ in the chorus. She wants him to meet her in the middle, indicating that they can have a mutual understanding and fulfill each other's desires. The woman knows that the man has walls up that she wants him to break down. She can't get enough of him, and she implores him to let her explore him further.


The song is catchy, upbeat, and full of energy. It encourages listeners to let loose and have fun without holding back. The lyrics are playful, daring, and flirtatious, which makes it a perfect song for parties and celebrations.
