R. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swear I want more
You deserve an encore
Back stage VIP shopping
Now it's raining
Won't you come and tell me how you with it
What you want girl you can get it
These clubbers won't treat you like I treat you
Somebody say you looking for me, girl here I go
Oh look at oh my god
Who do we have
Up in the club dancing for me?
Girl let me help you chase your dreams
You're so beautiful
(How can I make you understand)
Ooh that I want to rub, I want to touch,
Every little inch of your body
(Body)
Girl if you go with me
You're incredible, girl
(Oh yes you are)
Baby see the exit, exit, see the exit, let's go, out this club
Exit, exit, exit, see the exit, let's go out this club, exit
Now baby girl if that's your man forget about it go on and dance
And I really didn't mean no harm
It's just a player's charm
Any girl and I do it rather well,
Closing every bar like a professor baby
Kells gives sex seminars
When you walk by so slow make me whistle
(You've got pretty teeth)
And I feel so good when you smile at me yea
I'm about to write you everything
Baby girl please just go with me
I've got a big house in the mountains lets go
And I've even got a stripper pole
Excuse me miss somebody says you're looking for me, girl here I go
Oh look oh my gosh who do we have up in the club dancing for me
Why you upstaging these chicks?
Girl you've got the dance... order
How can I make you understand?
Ooo that I want to rub
I want to touch every little inch of your body (body)
Girl you need to go with me
It's the last call, for alcohol girl
(yes it is)
Girl can you see the exit, exit,
See the exit, lets go out this club
Exit, exit, exit see the exit
Lets go out this club, exit
When you see me,
Tour bus your block,
Back of maybach
Black shades on down low in your hood
Smoking on that good
Go take a picture, autograph,
Crack some jokes, make me laugh
Take some shots baby now
Come to my hotel
Girl I love the way you're teasing me,
You and your girlfriend on the dance floor
I'm thinkin' menagitwa
So wantchu jump up off of my car
Girl it's so pretty, leather interior, custom made for me,
Let the top of that go back, then pull up the the club real slow
So the fans can take a flick,
Girl I get a kick out of splurging on you
Nordstrom, Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Vicki Secret too
Baby skies the limit where we go from here
Once were in the Benz, now take me serious when I say
I'm gonna walk out of here with you
When you see the exit, exit, see the exit, lets go out this club
Exit, exit, exit see the exit lets go out this club
Exit (exit)
(yea)
In R. Kelly’s song “Exit,” he uses his smooth singing voice to persuade a woman in a club to leave with him. He promises the woman an encore, VIP treatment, and big gifts as he describes how much he admires her beauty. Kelly then apologizes to the woman’s current partner, explaining that he didn’t mean any harm by flirting with her. He continues to woo the woman with promises of a luxurious lifestyle that includes a house in the mountains and a stripper pole. Kelly seems to be obsessed with the woman’s beauty, repeatedly mentioning how he wants to touch every inch of her body. He also suggests that a threesome with another woman might be in their future. The song ends with Kelly urging the woman to leave the club with him and join him on his tour bus.
One interesting interpretation of the song is that it speaks to the culture of hyper-masculinity in the music industry. Kelly, who has been accused of sexual assault and misconduct multiple times, is essentially objectifying the woman and treating her as an accessory to his glamorous lifestyle. He wants to take her away from her own life and make her his “pool star” while giving her expensive gifts. In essence, he is using his fame and wealth to manipulate her. Another interpretation could be that the song is a commentary on the way that men are socialized to expect women to be submissive and to fulfill their desires. Kelly seems to expect the woman to simply accept his advances and leave with him, without taking into account her own desires or needs.

I mean there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with sharing your truth in regards to a situation if you really did get raped, abused, or whatever the case maybe. Everyone isn't lying in every case when they come forward with those type of accusations. But when I started watching the Surviving R Kelly Documentary. I felt that practically everyone on there was lying. When a couple of the women was sharing their experience. They kept shifting their eyes toward the camera to see if they got an angle of them crying. Then it didn't make sense to me about these so called adults that was around him at the time, and just watched it happening. They basically helped him commit these acts, and supposedly not in trouble for commiting their part in these crimes. So, this is why I believe it was lies myself. Wendy Williams and John Legend was behind that mess. You see all the drama Wendy is supposed to be going through. You reap what you sow. You don't tarnish someone name like that period.
