Steve Lacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, baby, I'm on the playground
Hop on up, get on down
And wiggle that thing that's so round
Somethin' in the way you treat me like you do
Two can play the game when it feels so right next to you
And we can leave up out of here, bring your body hereTwo can feel the same on nights where love is the plan
Know you wanna play 'round
Well, baby, I'm on the playground
Hop on up, get on down
And wiggle that thing that's so round
Know you wanna play 'round
Well, baby, I'm on the playground
Hop on up, get on down (get on down, get down, get down)
And wiggle that thing that's so round
Remember all the days you left me by the phone
You love to hesitate, now you are the second place
You must have saw me out holdin' hands with someone else
Baby blink without a doubt, I see the signs you keep givin' me
Yeah, shake on, shake it down like what
Shake on, shake it down, that bridge
Shake on, shake it down like what
Shake on, shake it down, that bridge
Sometimes people say
We just run away
But we keep comin' back
To ya
Our mistakesMake us great
We shine, you're gold
Know you wanna play 'round
