That Girl
Shaggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What she got is a little something
That kind of girl
Maxi Priest just make them know, yeah
She's the kind of woman who let's you know
When she knows what she wants she won't let go
Takes you to a place of your fantasy
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (gangsta kind of lover)
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (smooth type of girl)
No matter who you are or what you do
She knows how to click in everything you do
She can make you hot when it's cold outside
Take you on a high, even make you fly
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (gangsta kind of lover)
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my love life rolling
She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my that, that, that girl
To make you break your silence and speak
Just a glimpse upon the silhouette, my knees get weak
Mh-mmh baby baby so unique
A reggaemantic lover, lover make her life complete
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (that kind of lover)
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (say what)
She's the kind of woman who knows the street
And even under pressure she's smooth and sweet
No complications just attitude
Believes in what she's got and she won't get used
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (sexy kind of lover)
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
Well, I'm weak to her touch
So vulnerable to her blush, love struck
That girl I got an instant crush
You can call me a lush, infatuation or just lust
The girl possess the stuff to make the man them, oh, ah
Holy Moses, Lord it could have been me
Caught up in this trap I didn't wanna be (I know)
But I ain't no fool I was one step ahead (yeah)
I had to let go cause I was over my head
That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (gangsta kind of lover)
That girl ooh that kind of girl
('Cause she's a Shaggy kind of girl)
That girl ooh (I gotta let her know)
That kind of girl (sexy kind of lover)
That girl ooh (let them know)
That kind of girl (Maxi kind of girl)
Say she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my love life flowin'
She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
She's the kind of girl to keep my that, that girl
That girl ooh, I got to let her know (that kind of girl)
She's the kind of girl that captivates your soul (that kind of girl)
That kind of girl (a rude girl type of lover, chuh)
that girl ooh, that kind of girl
(Shaggy and Maxi Priest definitely deh pon on di girls dem case)
that girl ooh (that girl) that kind of girl
