Can't Get Enough
St. Paul Peterson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'mma reach out right
I want you at home to know my hand is touching your hand
In this country, all over the world
Reach it out

As we proceed to give you what you need (As we proceed, what you need)
Set your circuits free this evening, touch your neighbor if we all in agreement (la la la la la)
Two toasts to the serenity served in hi-fidelity
And the body electric (swings to) the melody (of our) entelechy

This for all my fellas out there who are looking for a Mrs
Now all my ladies answer back like "can i get a witness?" (Ah yeah)

I know that you can feel it in your bones
Dealing good feelings through your earphones (Ah yeah)
Ladies, fellas...

Old money looking down on the valley like "let 'em eat cake" (let them eat cake)
But they'll never have bond like made, make the kinda bread that we break
They'll co-op what we make, distribute all the singles, foresake the mixtapes
But till then cut loose, girl...

Y'know, once it leaves the hood its on it's way to Hollywood, you know that right?
It always starts off as a nice dime store groove and turns into a penthouse symphony
But its cool, just hold on to me
And the body electric (Swings to, of our)

For all my fellas out there who are looking for a Mrs
Now all my ladies answer back like "can i get a witness?"(Ah yeah)

I need to know if you're out there
I hope to stay with you, I hope that I stay in your hair (Ah yeah)
(Ah yeah)
Yes Indeed (Ah yeah)
They not really accustomed to this but we gon' do it anyway
Break it down... 1-2... good God

(Swings to, of our)

This for all my fellas out there who are looking for a Mrs
Now all my ladies answer back like "can i get a witness?" (Ah yeah)

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
I can't hear ya (Ah yeah)
Yeah, I know that you can feel it, babe (Ah yeah)
And girl I wanna know, can you give it right on back to me




Like I gave it to you (Ah yeah)
Baby, Baby, Baby
