Now I get to show you all the things
That I been wanting to show you for such a long time
Don't say nothin'
Picture this you and me in the kitchen babe, on the counter
Feeding each other fruits babe
Straight from there walk into the bedroom babe
And girl tonight we'll be making sweet love
[Chorus]
Girl tonight we'll make sweet love
Until the rain comes falling down on you and me
All of these things and etcetera etcetera etcetera
Wanna kiss you places you want me to
Promise girl that I'll do all of these things
And etcetera etcetera etcetera
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Doing you pretty much all night long babe
'Till I hear you screaming my name babe
In the pool you and me skinny dipping darlin' Kelly's rules
No playing hard to get now tell me what the deal 'cause
Girl tonight we'll be making sweet love
[Chorus]
Put on some clothes and lets go to the IHOP, baby

[Chorus]
In R. Kelly's song Etcetera, the singer expresses his excitement about finally showing his partner all the things that he has been keeping for a long time. He paints a picture of them together in the kitchen, feeding each other fruits and moving to the bedroom where they make love. The chorus of the song emphasizes the intimacy between the two lovers as they make sweet love to each other in the rain. He promises to kiss her wherever she wants him to and do all the things that she desires. He ends the song by refusing to go for food at the IHOP because he is still thinking about her body.
