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.

Tamia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're sitting down
Time to get up
Sippin' on something
Drink it up, Hit the floor
And rock your body
Wil'out 'cause its a party HEY!

I saw you for the first time

When you were walking on to th block
You had a fine throw-back, timberlands to match
And now I don't see you no-more
And I'm tryin to find out where you at
'cause you would look so much better next to me
OHH-wait you sexy baby come back this way

[CHORUS x2]
And now I know I'm looking good and no need to frontin'
All eyes on me
I must be working somethin'
'Bout to hit the floor so tell me who want it
You looking at me so won't you come & get it?
Playa's what's crackin
I'm asking who's dancin' with me tonight?
UHH DJ don't stop playin my song!

[CHORUS x2]
I'm hot but I don't get sweat on my hair
It's still gettin atcha
Girls roll with me, but I can't find 'em
Gimme a second & let me locate 'em
Tell me watcha doin after we close
We're going where everyone goes
On the west is hot spot, and the east is the copshop, south the waffle house
Baby come dance with me!

[CHORUS x2]
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo whooooooo step step step step
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo whooooooo rock rock rock rock
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo whooooooo bounce bounce bounce bounce

Hit the floor and rock your body
Wil'out 'cause it's a party HEY!

[CHORUS x2]

If you're sitting down
If you're not having fun or dancing

It's time to stand up and dance

Sippin' on something
Drinking a beverage

Drink it up, Hit the floor
Drink your beverage and dance

And rock your body
Move your body to the sound of the music

Wil'out 'cause its a party HEY!
Have fun and let loose because it's a party

I saw you for the first time
I noticed you for the first time

When you were walking on to th block
When you were approaching the area

You had a fine throw-back, timberlands to match
You looked good wearing vintage clothes and matching Timberland shoes

And now I don't see you no-more
I can't find you anymore

And I'm tryin to find out where you at
I'm trying to locate you

'cause you would look so much better next to me
I think we would look good together

OHH-wait you sexy baby come back this way
I want you to come back and talk to me because I find you attractive

And now I know I'm looking good and no need to frontin'
I know I look good and don't need to pretend otherwise

All eyes on me
Everyone is looking at me

I must be working somethin'
I must be doing something right

'Bout to hit the floor so tell me who want it
I'm about to start dancing, who wants to dance with me?

You looking at me so won't you come & get it?
You're staring at me, do you want to dance with me?

I'm hot but I don't get sweat on my hair
I'm feeling good and confident, but I'm not sweating enough to mess up my hair

It's still gettin atcha
I'm still feeling good

Girls roll with me, but I can't find 'em
My female friends are with me, but I can't locate them

Gimme a second & let me locate 'em
Hold on for a moment while I find them

Tell me watcha doin after we close
What are you doing after this event is over?

We're going where everyone goes
We are going to a popular spot

On the west is hot spot, and the east is the copshop, south the waffle house
There are popular places on the west, a police station on the east, and a Waffle House in the south

Baby come dance with me!
Come dance with me!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo whooooooo step step step step
Making sounds to the beat of the music

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo whooooooo rock rock rock rock
More sounds to the beat of the music

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo whooooooo bounce bounce bounce bounce
Even more sounds to the beat of the music

Hit the floor and rock your body
Start dancing and moving your body to the music

Wil'out 'cause it's a party HEY!
Have fun and let loose because it's a party
