U Got Me
T-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All in Los Angeles California
From the drive lanes to the open seas baby
To all my beautiful ladies
[Akon]
(I see)
The first thing I noticed when I walked in the club girl was you watching me (me, me, me)
You got me in the middle of the dance floor, just searching for you girl
I'm steady looking for you baby
I ask my myself where you created in this world, by the beauty in you girl
And I can't believe that you got me
[Chorus]
You got me so, you got me so
You got me so high and confused
I don't know what to do
So, you got me so
You got me so high and confused
I don't know what to do
[T-Pain]
Now you got me all in the club like I aint got none better to do than look for you (you, you)
Yeah
Cause I'll be all night searching, do what I gotta do till I find you (you, you)
You got me in the middle of the dance floor, just searching for you girl
(I said I'm searching for you girl)
You got me sweating, got me weak in the knee
Cause I've been working for you girl
It's so hard because I'm so
[Chorus]
[Akon]
Now I'm looking in the back while I'm looking in the front
While I'm standing in the middle like where are you? (Are you, are you)
I couldn't sworn that she walked right past me baby
Make her sip on jack and tack
And the blunt got me looking at ladies, where are you? (Are you)
I couldn't sworn that she look right at me
Cause I'm looking for you
You got me in the middle of the dance floor, just searching for you girl
And I'm tryin' to find you baby
I ask my myself where you created in this world, by the beauty in you girl
The beauty got me going crazy
Come on and find me
[Chorus]
Don't know if I can go on through this night without you
The song "U Got Me" by T-Pain featuring Akon is a hip-hop and R&B track that talks about being smitten by a woman in the club. The song starts with T-Pain singing about how he is all over the club searching for this girl who is watching him. He is unable to find her in the crowd and wonders where she created cause of the beauty in her. The chorus, which is repeated several times throughout the song, talks about how she has him so high and confused.
Akon then takes over the second verse, continuing the theme of searching for this girl. He says that he is looking everywhere, in the back and in the front, but he can't seem to find her. He wonders if she walked right past him, and as he sips on some jack, he looks at other women, hoping to see her. The song ends with both T-Pain and Akon lamenting that they cannot go through the night without seeing the girl they are looking for.
The lyrics of the song depict a common theme in hip-hop tracks, which is being smitten by a girl in the club. The combination of T-Pain's and Akon's voices, as well as the catchy chorus, makes the song very popular for club-goers. The repetition of the "You got me so high and confused, I don't know what to do" chorus is also very infectious and tends to leave a lasting impression on the listener.

Make her sip on jack and tack
I'll have a drink and keep searching for you

As I smoke a blunt, I continue searching for you
I couldn't sworn that she look right at me

I'm putting in effort to locate you
The beauty got me going crazy
Your beauty is driving me wild
Come on and find me
Please come find me, I need you
[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus
Don't know if I can go on through this night without you
I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through the night if I don't find you
