You Love It
Roy Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got it going on, got it going on
Got it going on, got it going on
Got it going on, got it going on
In a drop-top 6 on, got it going on

Drop-top in the lot at the spot 'cause I got to pick you up from your pops
'Cause you working at the shop and you're trying to make your money everyday
Because somebody gotta pay
You feeling all these ways
'Cause you thinking of the days when you never had shit
It's okay, admit it, you knew you were finished
I got you those clothes 'cause I knew you in it
Baby do you quit it?
We had it going on from the get-go
You had it going on with the set though
We had it going on when you puttin' on your bra
Before I step up in your room, got to hit it though
I know you really want me to come in it though
I'm seeing through you like a window
You know that I love you, you know that I got you
You know that I need you, you know that I want you
And you love it

Yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah, yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah, yeah girl you love it
Girl you love it
Girl you love it
Girl you love it
Yeah, yeah girl you love it
Oh you love it
Oh you love it
Girl you love it
Yeah, yeah you love it

You know me and you love my shit
She had me and she lost me quick
I've been on the road tryin' find myself
They know me as Roy but don't know me well
I got you again 'cause they never did
Shit, I'm sipping you again
It's all for you at the end of the day
Girl, I gave up my happiness
If it's love then I see you again
If it's not then you mess with your friends
I thought it was good 'til I came back again (damn)
Then she got a little bit of drama with her man
Cheating on her every weekend
I get why you don't see him
But then why you can't see me?
Though you love it, understand that it came to some'

Shawty is this love
Oh, or is this pleasure?
Same ways girl, it's good
'Cause your waters fall like Niagra
Baby, is it love
Or it pleasure?
The seasons turning full
Just tell me

Yeah you love it
Girl you love it
Girl you love it
Girl you love it
Yeah, yeah you love it
Girl you love it
Girl you love it
Girl you love it
Yeah, yeah girl you love it
Girl you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah you love it
Yeah, yeah girl you love it
Yeah you love it
Oh you love it
Girl you love it
Yeah, yeah you love it

You love it
You love it
It'll change when you love it, oh
It'll change when you
Need me
Your love, yeah




Please hurry
So sad, yeah
