Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got you got you got (whooo)
Come on baby and show me what you got
Come on baby (don't be shy, no don't be shy)
Let the music hypnotize you (whooo)

You got me feelin' good
From head to feet like I knew you would
Baby heaven must have broken the fall

Cause girl your love is out of control

And it's caught up
In you
Cause don't don't nobody do me like you do
Yeah

You hit me
You knock me out
Yeah you hit me
You knock me out

And it's caught up
in you
Cause don't know nobody do me like you do

Come on come on baby Whoo
Come on come on baby
Come on Whoo
(Dance with me baby,
Dance with me baby)
Oh
Come on baby

Like the father's house on Sunday morn
You give me joy
Like victory after the war
I'm coming home baby to ya girl

In this corner
In you
Cause can't nobody do me like you do
You hit me
Said you knock me out
You hit me
Girl you knock me out

In this corner (I'm the champ)
In you
Cause can't nobody do me like you do

Dance with me baby
Dance with me baby [Repeat: x3]
Come on dance with me baby

Listen to me
Hey

The Melody
Oh girl

Cause can't nobody do me like you do

You hit me
Girl you knock me out
Yes you did
You hit me
Oh baby
You knock me out
Whoa

In this corner (I'm the champ)
In you
Can't nobody do me like you do

Like a speed train in the way

You hit me baby
You knock me out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to R. L. Kelly's song Out are about the power of love and the impact it can have on a person. The first verse talks about the music taking over and how the person feels good from head to toe because of their love. The chorus talks about how the person is caught up in their love and nobody can do things the way they do. The second verse continues the theme of being knocked out by love, and that no one else can compare to the person’s lover.

The song is about being in a relationship with someone who makes you feel like the only person in the world. They are the only person who can knock you out, and your love for them is so strong that it’s like being hypnotized. When they’re around, everything else fades away, and all that’s left is the two of you.

In terms of musical style, the song has a bit of a retro feel with its soulful sound and use of the word "whoo" throughout the song. It’s a fast-paced song that makes you want to dance, with a catchy chorus and strong vocals from R. L. Kelly.
