Tonight
Summer Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta get it right
I gotta get it right, yeah

You say, you say
You say, you say
You say, you say
You're in search in this body of mine?
Do you wanna be a good friend of me?
Why won't you pour up that Hennessy?
Light up a few blunts and we could get high, yeah
No need to rush, but take your time

I know it's been too long
I've been on the road too much
Had to get back to ya
Back to you
Can't even play it cool
Thinkin' about them nights I would've rather been with you
Tonight
I wanna have some good fun tonight
I wanna get into somethin' tonight
I just wanna make up for lost time

I like to taste it when you
Run down my back, arched and relaxed
Oh, touch me like that
Please, nice and slow

I know it's been too long
I've been on the road too much
Had to get back to ya
Back to you
Can't even play it cool
Thinkin' about them nights I would've rather been with you
Tonight
I wanna have some good fun tonight
I wanna get into somethin' tonight
I just wanna make up for lost time, tonight

I know it's been too long
I've been on the road too much
Had to get back to ya
Back to you





(We got London On Da Track)

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Gotta get it right, I gotta get it right" suggest that Walker is trying to do things differently this time around and get their relationship back on track. The repeated phrase "You say, you say" could be interpreted as the lover trying to convince Walker to give them another chance, but she wants to make sure that they are on the same page before moving forward. The line "I know it's been too long, I've been on the road too much, had to get back to ya" indicates that Walker has been on tour, possibly neglecting the relationship, and is now making an effort to prioritize it.


The lyrics also contain sexual undertones, as Walker sings "I like to taste it when you run down my back, arched and relaxed" and "touch me like that, please, nice and slow." These lines suggest that the couple is physically intimate and that Walker enjoys being touched in a certain way. Overall, the song expresses Walker's desire to reconnect with her lover and make up for lost time, both emotionally and physically.
