Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop wasting time, come over here to me
He done told you once that he can't stand ya
All you give is time, and a lot Of TLC
He don't, value, you- but
You stay around deal with BS
You don't
Need him
Show ya love , good times, and good sex
Got a nigga cruising thru the city
Tryna get to you I ain't kidding
Girl I'm pulling up where ya living
I can't live without
You next to me sitting pretty
Making love gripping on ya titties
Girl you know I'm young but I'm wit it
Show you I ain't playing
I'll play Marvin Gaye, you get the Chardonnay
And put on your lingerie, show me you wit it
And I won't play no games, me and him not the same
Baby-girl you know I came
To handle my business
I wanna see you, dripping wet
I'll kiss your neck
Slide my tongue right down your chest
To your thighs I'll be licking
Girl I'm the best and yes
I must confess
I came here to get na-ked, baby-girl lets get it
Strip down, yea, yea
To them Victoria Secrets
And I promise I won't tell
Nobody, nobody
Bout the way that we be loving
Imma act like it's nothing when in public
Acting like strangers
Isn't a danger
We know what it is
I can help you feel like you by yourself
Your man ain't shit
You...
Need to come on over
Lay your head on my shoulder
And I promise baby you'll be
Dripping wet
I'll kiss your neck
Slide my tongue right down your chest
To your thighs I'll be licking
Girl I'm the best and yes
I must confess
I came here to get na-ked, baby-girl lets get it
I wanna see you
Youuu (Right down your chest, you gone get wet)
(Imma do it, yeaaaaaaaa)
It's Only1
Ayo!
