Buttons
Sugar & Spice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button

I'm busy throwing hints that he keeps missing
Don't have to think about it
I wanna kiss and
Everything around it but he's too distant
I wanna feel his body
I can't resist it

I know my hidden looks can be deceiving
But how obvious should a girl be?
I was taken by the early conversation piece
And I really like the way that he respect me

I've been waiting patiently for him to come and get it
I wonder if he knows that he can say it and I'm with it
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Catch this opportunity so you and me could feel it
'cause:

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

I'm busy showing him what he's been missing
I'm kind of showing off for his full attention
My sexy ass has got him in the new dimension
I'm ready to do something to relieve this mission

After waiting patiently for him to come and get it
He came on through and asked me if I wanted to get with him
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it
'cause:

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

I've been dropping so many hints
You?re still not getting it
Now that you?ve heard everything I have to say
Where we gonna go from here?

After waiting patiently for him to come and get it
He came on through and asked me if I wanted to get with him
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it
'cause:

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
(i control)

If you're ready for me boy
(for me boy)
You'd better push the button and let me know




Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Buttons" by Sugar & Spice tell a story of a confident and assertive woman who is interested in a man who seems distant and oblivious to her hints. She wants to be physically intimate with him and desires his attention and affection. The repetition of "Push the button" emphasizes her desire for him to take action and make a move.


In the first verse, the woman expresses her frustration with the man's lack of understanding. She tries to make it clear that she wants to be kissed and have a physical connection with him, but he seems oblivious. Despite her hidden looks and hints, she wonders how obvious she needs to be for him to understand her intentions. However, she appreciates that he respects her.


The chorus highlights her impatience and eagerness for him to take the initiative. She wants him to "push the button" and let her know that he wants her. She fears that if he doesn't act soon, she might interpret his silence as disinterest and move on. She warns him that he will miss out on experiencing her sensuality and control.


In the second verse, the woman tries to intensify her efforts to grab his attention. She showcases her attractive qualities and tries to captivate him in every way, aiming to bring him into a new dimension of desire. Finally, after waiting patiently, he approaches her and asks if she wants to be with him. She is ready and knows exactly what she wants, seizing the opportunity.


The bridge suggests that despite all the hints she has dropped, the man still doesn't seem to fully comprehend her intentions. She wonders where they will go from here, implying that it is important for him to communicate his interest clearly and take action.


In the final repetition of the chorus, the woman reiterates her plea for him to push the button and make his intentions known. She warns that if he doesn't, he will miss out on experiencing the passionate and confident side of her personality that she controls. The lyrics convey her determination and readiness for him to finally show his desire for her.

@Kiki-og6yz

What kills me is the fact that they lip synced against each other, and in spite of that, they made a performance together. I love them both so much

@togaprentice9927

I think we all knew they would have to lip synch against each other at some point, I was just REALLY hoping it would be further into the season, and now we all know spice is gonna get eliminated in the design challenge, because sugar is the one who sees for them. Even if spice comes up with an awesome concept, it’ll be hard to recover from now being able to sew

@matsuokei

Spice draws the sketches, but Sugar makes the looks come to life. They're a great duo. Wish I'd had a sibling (not necessarily a twin) I could share artistry with and build this "world of our on". I sort of envy Luca and Cooper in that sense, but that makes me feel like there is hope for these upcoming generations.

@Tetra392

I wish when Sugar left her exit line was like “Spice, I’ll be waiting in the car. See you in five.”

@aveganeverywhere

That would imply that the sister was untalented. Why would she say that?

@Tetra392

@@aveganeverywhere cuz siblings…?

@aveganeverywhere

@@Tetra392 I respectfully disagree.

@Tetra392

@@aveganeverywhere ok.

@jenniferwilliams5478

As a mother of twins the bond that twins have is different then of normal siblings.

@herewaskendra

I am a twin, my mother raise us to stick together NO MATTER WHAT. We have been close like them our entire lives, I completely understand why they feel this way. But I also know growth is mandatory and my sister and I had to learn to be independent of each other. We are still very close but we had to let go of the codependency. It's so necessary.
