Tamia & Red Café Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This one is for the club
This one is sexy
Tamia, that's what's up
(Where you at?)
On my way
You know it's a party
You know it's a party
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
(Can't spell Tamia without the T-M)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You know it's a party
Tonight, I'm ready to get it on
Move a little to all my favorite songs
If you don't already know, I'm the one
But I just came out to have some fun
Seen him looking, so he made his way up to me
I was at the light, he was in back of me
He was cute, but I didn't have time to speak
I got somewhere I gotta be
On my way
You know it's a party
In my powder blue coupe with Chanels on
You know it's a party
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
(Can't spell Tamia without the T-M)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You know it's a party
At the spot, with my girls, guess who I see?
Same dude that was parked in back of me
He asked me if I wanted something to drink
I told him I came out so I can dance
I ain't really trynna kick it, I got a man
The DJ's on point, so move your feet
Stop talkin' me to death, your game is weak
Boy, you're really making me wanna have a seat
On my way
You know it's a party
In my powder blue coupe with Chanels on
You know it's a party
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (c'mon)
(Can't spell Tamia without the T-M)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You know it's a party
Who you wit'?
Trackmasters
Get on the floor
When you hear this in your speakers
If you're at the bar
Go and put your drink up
Stop posing and wake up
Don't be afraid to mess up your makeup
Let's get it on tonight
Let's get it on tonight
And move your body like
T-M, we get money all day with Red Cafe
Ayy yo, Chef Boy-izzy
From your city
I'm a bad boy, I don't even know Diddy
Tone with me, mojo with me
I fly out of town
I don't bring no clothes with me
I licky, licky on your tig ol' bitties
In my Timbs and my Dickie
How they do it out in Philly
Bada boom, bada bing, bada bang
I done had a lotta lips on my pinky ring, bling
Permanent pimp, I don't smoke no cheeba
I just chase fools like "arriba"
According to Poke, I'm a champagne flow-er
If I get up in your juice, I can make a mimosa
See my approach is nothing like a player
It's more like a coach, but we never fly coach
My Cadillacs will give you cataracts
Red Cafe, Tamia, where you at?
On my way
You know it's a party
In my powder blue coupe with Chanels on
You know it's a party
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (c'mon)
(Can't spell Tamia without the T-M)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You know it's a party
On my way
You know it's a party
In my powder blue coupe with Chanels on
You know it's a party
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (c'mon)
