Be Your Girl
Teedra Moses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't mean to disrespect but
Thoughts of you rule my world
I even dream of you, I swear
Visions of you and I
See you all around my way
Been meaning to say ,"Hi" but
I gotta make you see this is
More than just a silly crush
(And I) wonder if you even notice me and
(Oh) you gotta feel me
(And I) would love you good
(Just wanna be your girl)
All alone at night
I harbor feelings for you
Holding my pillow tight
Sometimes I even touch myself
Imagining your pleasure, baby
Next time I see you, I'm
Gonna walk right up to you and
Say what's on my mind
I gotta make you see, this is
(More) than just a silly crush
(And I) wonder if you even notice me and
(Oh) you gotta feel me
(And I) would love you good
(Just wanna be your girl)
Just wanna be your girl
I wonder if you even notice me and
Ooh, you gotta feel me
I would love you good
(Just wanna be, just wanna be)
(Just wanna be) your girl
(And I) wonder if you even notice me and
(Oh) you gotta feel me
(And I) would love you good
(Just wanna be your girl)
Ooh
(And I) I wonder, I wonder
(And oh) you gotta feel me, yeah
(And I) I would love you good
(Just wanna be your girl) wanna be your girl
Ooh
Mm
Oh oh, I
(Just wanna be, just wanna be, just wanna be)
(Your girl)

This song was so ahead of its time and I bet you if this song were to be released today, it would still be a hit.
@neelee8512
I agree
@SuperTwinz1422
I would agree. Not only that, I mean she was in the "back of the Maybach" back in 2004. Def ahead of her time.
@KrysStyle
Yesssss I miss this type of music

Back when women loved men.
@issacnoir559
The production on this track was ahead of its time. 🔥🔥🔥
@Christian-eq6pq
For a 2000’s track the panning, backing tracks, and vocal effects are so dope
@aquaticlife9251
One person's "ahead of it's time" is another's "right on time". Perspective. Besides, most of today's music has a problem with good music, just as it did when this came out. Actually this should have came out ten years earlier from when it first debuted. At least it would have gotten more air play and recognition back in the day. Things are devolving. Not all, but most.
