R. Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a flirt
Soon as I see her walk up in the club (I'm a flirt)
Winkin' her eyes at me, when I roll up on them dubs (I'm a flirt)
Sometimes when I'm with my chick on the low (I'm a flirt)
And when she's wit her man lookin' at me, damn right (I'm a flirt)
So homie don't bring your girl to meet me 'cause (I'm a flirt)
And baby don't bring your girlfriend to eat 'cause (I'm a flirt)
Please believe it, unless your game is tight and you trust her
Then don't bring her around me 'cause (I'm a flirt)

Now swear to tell the truth
And the whole truth
When it comes to hoes I be pimpin' like I supposed to
Rollin like I supposed to
Shinin' like I supposed to
In the club, fuckin' wit' honeys like I supposed to
I don't understand it when a nigga bring his girlfriend to the club
Freakin' all on the floor wit his girlfriend in the club
And wonder why all these playas tryin' to holla at her
Just soon as she go to the bathroom, nigga I'm goin' holla at her
A dog on the prowl when I'm walkin' through the mall
If I could man I probably would flirt wit all y'all
Yeah, yeah homie u say she ya girlfriend
But when I step up to her I'm be like cousin
Believe me man, this is how them playas do it in the Chi
And plus we got them player-ette flirters in the Chi
Now the moral of the story is cuff yo bitch
'Cause hey I'm black, handsome, I sing plus I'm rich and (I'm a flirt)

Hey homie, if you ain't gettin' no money
You better keep her away from me ya dig

Well if u love ya girl
And wanna keep ya girl
Don't be walkin' up and askin' me to meet ya girl
'Cause I'm well enough a flirt when I speak to girl
She winked her eyes on the slide

Better eat ya girl like another man will
'Cause u leave your wife
And I see ya wife

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I'm A Flirt" by R. Kelly vs Broken Social Scene depict a man who is unabashedly flirtatious, he relishes the attention he gets from women and can't help but flirt with them regardless of their relationship status. From the first line of the song, "I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a flirt," the singer declares his intentions. He zeroes in on women as soon as they walk into the club, winking at him or even when he's with his girlfriend. He tells his male counterparts to beware lest he steal their women. He emphasizes the need to treat their women correctly and take better care of them or risk losing them. The chorus is repetitive, driving home the idea that the man is a flirt.


The message of the song is clear-cut; flirting can be fun, but it can also lead to hurt feelings and broken relationships. The man in the song seems to relish his skills at flirting and the attention he gets from women. In contrast, it highlights the importance of trust in relationships and how an outside force can quickly disrupt this trust. The message is that it is essential to keep your eyes open and keep your relationship healthy, or you might end up with an unfaithful partner.
