[Missy Elliot]
Yeah, uh huh
See, me and Timbaland
We got the [shit] that hits from here
From here to overseas
Where SWV is
Check it, one time, uh huh, uh huh.
See, um, um, me, I'm Super Fly
Super duper fly
Rub your hands up my thigh
And go super duper high
'Til you see my apple pie
Tell me if you like
Tell me if you like

Baby got me tipsy, tipsy
On the real need you're love
Tasty, baby
You send me crazy, crazy
Can not be a lady
I love the things you say to me
I like it when you're talking dirty

[Chorus]
Can we get kinky tonight
I got so many things on my mind
I never seen a guy so fine
I like it when you do me, do me
Can we get kinky tonight
I got so many things on my mind
I wanna feel you squeeze me tight

Oooh honey, got me
So high, so high
I can't lie
About the way you play me
If you want me, take me
Send me crazy, crazy
Baby, I love the way you taste me
You're so tasty like pastry

[Chorus]

[Lelee]
Spend the night with me
Spend the night with me-ee-ee-ee
(Spend the night)
Spend the night with me
Don't care what we do
Just as long as I'm with you
Oohhh-hhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhh-hhhh!!!!

[Chorus]

[Missy Elliot]
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yeah
Can we get kinky tonight
I got so many things on my mind
I never seen a guy so fine
I like it when you do me, do me
Oh, uh huh, uh huh
Can we get kinky tonight
I got so many things on my mind
I wanna feel you squeeze me tight

(Rap)
We can sit in the back of my 300
We kissing and we fondling
We high and we blunted
Take me if you want it
To the (Ho-Jo)
Up all night like (No-Doz)
Yes, I got the feeling
(Feel me flow)
Don't ask me if I'm nasty, Freaky Deaky
See, y'all can't see me
Me, Timbaland and SWV
We hit you with the He He
Now shall we? Ha, ha
Check it out





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song Can We is a collaboration between the R&B girl group SWV and rapper Missy Elliot. The lyrics are directed toward a romantic partner and explore sexual desires and fantasies. Missy Elliot begins her verse by flaunting her confidence and attractiveness, inviting her partner to touch her body before delving into the idea of being adventurous in bed. She expresses a desire for her partner to explore and experiment with her body, urging him to let her know if he likes what he sees. The chorus repeats the question of whether or not they can get "kinky" tonight and highlights the singer's desire to feel wanted and physically desired.


Lelee takes over from here, and she pleads with her romantic partner to spend the night with her, regardless of what they choose to do together. She is passionate in her request and indicates that the only thing that is important to her is being close to her partner, and that she does not care what they do, as long as they are together. Missy Elliot's rap verse follows, and it incorporates some humor that largely contrasts with the sexually charged chorus. The song ultimately celebrates an erotic and uninhibited love experience. The lyrics recognise that everyone has different ways of expressing their love and that, whatever that may be, it is okay to express it.
