Sherlock Tones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm looking for something original /
She like to hang out where the stars be /
Nah, she ain't never been in no Ferrari /
We dressed up for the all white party /
But when we got there it was an all white party /
I told her baby girl i'm sorry /
I mean i love all kind of girls /
But to fit in ya clothes you ain't gotta go starving /
Ok the show is starting /
Put ya cellphones on vibrate /
And don't worry if i'm late on the time /
First i gotta find me a date with the same frame of mind /
I'm lying, she just gotta be fine /
She make the other girls fall in line /
If she the top pick, she gotta mine /
That one there, one of a kind /
I thought i'd let you know, thought i'd let ya know /
I'm looking for something original /
Oh didn't you know?, oh didn't you know/
I'm looking for something original /
So original, i mean she got her own style /
And if you wait a while, she might give you the right number to dial /
Wow!, that's what the homies say /
Every time she walk pass the homies way /
Ay!, and we came to party, so d-dj let the record play /
And we gone it to the morning /
On the dancefloor with the champagne pouring /
Lights and the scene fresh outta magazine /
Like the cover of that rolling stone man /
Breakout the camera, capture to the moment /
We laughing and joking, this girl got me open /
Caught me scoping her body in motion /
She so fly, man i swore she was floating /
Way up high, in the sky /
Caught my eye, i know why /
They call her a standout girl /
'cause she stand out anywhere in the world /
And she do it so different /
Independent, unassisted /
And homie if you don't pay attention /
You might miss it , Ms. It /
I thought i'd let you know, thought i'd let ya know /
I'm looking for something original /
Oh didn't you know?, oh didn't you know/
I'm looking for something original /
So original, i mean she got her own style /
And if you wait a while, she might give you the right number to dial /
Wow!, that's what the homies say /
Every time she walk pass the homies way /
Ay!, and we came to party, so d-dj let the record play /
I thought i'd let you know, thought i'd let ya know /
I'm looking for something original /
Oh didn't you know?, oh didn't you know /
I'm looking for something original /
