1) Tamia Washington-Hill (born May 9, 1975 in Windsor, Ontario) is a Canadian R&B singer. She is noted for her spinto mezzo-soprano, a rangy three octaves, capable of both dark contralto depths and angelic soprano highs. Tamia has released numerous albums since her discovery by Quincy Jones in 1995, at the age of 19. Her first three albums, 1998's Tamia, 2000's A Nu Day, and 2004's More, all achieved moderate success on R&B charts and urban radio, but failed to achieve mainstream success.

As a result of the disappointing performances of her albums, Tamia split from her label and released her next record, Between Friends, independently. As of 2019, Tamia has released a further three studio albums through her own label, Plus One Music Group - 2012's Beautiful Surprise, 2015's Love Life, and 2018's Passion Like Fire.

She has been married to the NBA basketball player Grant Hill since 1999, with whom she has two children.

2) Tamia is an experimental/avant-garde vocalist who has collaborated with Pierre Favre.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You made me want it, want it, want it
Early in the mornin', mornin', mornin'
I could use another round, another round, oh,
Come take it, take it, take it, oh,
We pimpin', baby, baby,
Love how that sounds, how that sounds

Oh, I want it, I need it

Say you'll never let me go
We go over and over just thought I'd let you know
How I feel when you're not around
Falling for you more
My anything, my everything,
I'll never tell you no

And you ain't going nowhere, nowhere,
No how, no way, no bae, no bae
I'm crazy over you, it's too late, it's too late
And this ain't going nowhere, nowhere,
No how, no way, oh bae, oh bae
I'm crazy over you, it's too late, it's too late
Oh babe

Silly, silly, silly
Like really, really, all because I'm missing you
Look at what I do
Trippin', trippin', trippin'
I'm flippin', flippin', flippin' out on you
Look what your love's made me do
(Look what your love made me do)

Oh, I want it, I need it
Say you'll never let me go
We go over and over just thought I'd let you know
How I feel when you're not around
Falling for you more
My anything, my everything,
I'll never tell you no

And you ain't going nowhere, nowhere,
No how, no way, no bae, no bae
I'm crazy over you, it's too late, it's too late
And this ain't going nowhere, nowhere,

And I'm all about you,
And I know you're all about me, too
And I buried your love in my heart
And no matter what they say,
Can't tell me nothin' 'bout my baby
When your love is side-by-side,
You can't tell it apart (you can't tell it apart)
And I'm all about you,
And I know you're all about me, too
And I buried your love in my heart
And no matter what they say,
Can't tell me nothin' 'bout my baby
When your love is side-by-side,
You can't tell it apart

Oh, I want it, I need it
Say you'll never let me go
We go over and over just thought I'd let you know
How I feel when you're not around
Falling for you more
My anything, my everything,
I'll never tell you no

And you ain't going nowhere, nowhere,
No how, no way, no bae, no bae
I'm crazy over you, it's too late, it's too late
And this ain't going nowhere, nowhere,
No how, no way, oh bae, oh bae

I'm crazy over you, it's too late, it's too late
