Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you want to float, yeah
Float on, float on, float all your love
Float on, float on, float all your love
I call my baby's name
She gives me everything
She plays with my desire
She knows my pleasures on
And works it all night long
Her love is slow and slick
Told me don't come too quick
Every day I pray our love
Floats on and on and on
Hear me calling out to you girl
It's all that I can do girl
Float on, float on, float all your love
Float on, float on, float all your love
I know what's on his mind
He wants it all the time
He's always at my door
Keeps asking me for more
Says he can't get enough
Sometimes he likes a rub
Ya know I'm gonna treat him right
Gonna do it day and night
Every day I pray our love
Floats on and on and on
Hear me calling out to you boy
That's all that I can do boy
Float on, float on, float all your love
Float on, float on, float all your love
Float on, float on, float all your love
Float on, float on, float all your love
Do you want to float on
Do you want to float on
Float on, float on, float all your love
Float on, float on, float all your love
