Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna hang on your neck just like a verdilac
Take you for a ride in my Cadillac
Well I tried, I tried but I can't make you understand
Baby can't you see I'm more than just a man

If you don't bring me coffee in my favorite cup
You're make it necessary for me to conjure up

I'm gonna hang on your neck just like good luck
Take you for a ride in my Cadillac
Well I tried, I tried but I can't make you understand

If you don't bring me coffee in my favorite cup
You're make it necessary for me to conjure up
