The O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Legs open, I just wanna get between, girl
Love the way you move your body like that (Turn up!)
Ooh damn girl that ass so fat
Back it up, come and ride like a car, girl
Throw it back like it fell in your yard, girl
Go hard 'cause I know you got a kid, girl
Let these mothafuckas know who he is, girl
Don't fuck with him, he ain't tippin' (He broke!)
If he lookin' and he don't pay
Don't dance, baby girl, just wait
Love to watch you on that pole, girl
Firefighter, watch you on that pole, girl
Hit a split, love to watch you go
This girl puttin' on a show
So now I got a couple 1's with me
She lookin' good, this girl is bae, yeah she the one for me
I got some racks and told the waiter bring some 1's to me
She lookin' good, this girl is bae, yeah she the one for me
I love the way you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
I love the way you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it (Turn up!)
Now gon' bust it open, bust it open (Pop, Pop)
Bust it open (Turn up!), bust it open (pop, pop)
I love the way you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
I keep wakin' up with these strippers
I keep tellin' myself I'm gon' change
They keep sendin' me these naked pictures
And I'm about to get 'em all framed
Lord I know she ain't perfect
And I know she off the chain
But every time she disappear
I'm stuck here like David Blaine
Hide her tears when I make it rain
Dancin' so long but never made enough
Fuck with me, she'll never dance again
Fuck with me, we're never breakin' up
Get your cash, get your bread
Shake your ass on your head
Remember when you fell off that pole?
I signed your cast on your leg
But you've got much better since then
I guess that pole dancin' class worked
I guess that yoga class paid off
You got them hoes mad at work
And your lil' cousin, she don't dance
She count your money and hold your purse
Say you only dance to my songs
That's a gift and a curse
I love the way you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
I love the way you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it (Turn up!)
Now gon' bust it open, bust it open (Pop, pop)
Bust it open (Turn up!), bust it open (Pop, pop)
I love the way you do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
It is important to acknowledge the problematic and objectifying lyrics in this song. The song is clearly about a strip club, where the artist is admiring a particular dancer and commenting on her physical appearance and talents. He refers to her as "bae" and declares her the one for him, despite the fact that she is a stripper who likely has no interest in a romantic relationship. The song also includes lines about getting naked pictures from strippers and waking up with them, which perpetuates the idea that women in the sex industry are nothing more than objects for men's pleasure.
Despite the problematic content, it is also important to analyze the flow and delivery of the lyrics. The repetition of "I love the way you do it" creates a catchy hook that is easy to sing along with. The beat is also upbeat and danceable, which makes it popular in club settings.
Overall, the song perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women in the sex industry and should be listened to with a critical and feminist lens.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been thinkin' 'bout a couple of things, girl
I've spent some time pondering about various aspects, my dear
Legs open, I just wanna get between, girl
I desire sexual intercourse with you, in between your legs
Love the way you move your body like that (Turn up!)
I enjoy the way you move your body in a sexually suggestive manner
Ooh damn girl that ass so fat
I find your buttocks particularly voluptuous and attractive
Back it up, come and ride like a car, girl
Move backwards and forward as if you are riding in a car
Throw it back like it fell in your yard, girl
Move your body backwards as if something has fallen in your yard
Go hard 'cause I know you got a kid, girl
Be more intense and enthusiastic because I am aware that you have a child
Let these mothafuckas know who he is, girl
Tell these other men about my presence in your life
So bad she got you trippin'
You are so attracted to her that it is causing you to stumble emotionally and mentally
Don't fuck with him, he ain't tippin' (He broke!)
Do not engage with him, he does not have money to give as tips (he is poor)
If he lookin' and he don't pay
If he is looking at you and doesn't pay you money
Don't dance, baby girl, just wait
Stop dancing, wait for someone who will pay you
Love to watch you on that pole, girl
I enjoy watching you dance on that pole
Firefighter, watch you on that pole, girl
I am fascinated, like a firefighter watching a fire, as I watch you on that pole, girl
Hit a split, love to watch you go
It pleases me to see you perform a split and move in a particular direction
This girl puttin' on a show
You are putting on quite a display
So now I got a couple 1's with me
I now have some one-dollar bills with me
She lookin' good, this girl is bae, yeah she the one for me
This girl looks attractive and is my significant other
I got some racks and told the waiter bring some 1's to me
I have a lot of money and asked the waiter to bring some dollar bills to me
I keep wakin' up with these strippers
I keep waking up with women who strip for a living
I keep tellin' myself I'm gon' change
I keep trying to improve my behavior and decisions
They keep sendin' me these naked pictures
They continue to send me pictures of themselves unclothed
And I'm about to get 'em all framed
I am considering doing something with these pictures like framing them
Lord I know she ain't perfect
I recognize that she is not without her flaws
And I know she off the chain
I know she's unconventional and wild
But every time she disappear
But whenever she leaves my life for a moment
I'm stuck here like David Blaine
I feel trapped like David Blaine, a magician who performs illusions that appear impossible
Hide her tears when I make it rain
She hides her sadness when I shower her with money
Dancin' so long but never made enough
She's been a dancer for a while but has not made enough money
Fuck with me, she'll never dance again
If anyone causes a problem with me, she will no longer dance for them
Fuck with me, we're never breakin' up
If someone has an issue with me, I will never break up with her
Get your cash, get your bread
Get the money you deserve
Shake your ass on your head
Move your behind on top of your head (an absurd command)
Remember when you fell off that pole?
Do you remember the time when you fell off the pole?
I signed your cast on your leg
I wrote something on the plaster cast on your injured leg
But you've got much better since then
You have improved significantly since the time of your injury
I guess that pole dancin' class worked
I suppose the pole dancing class you took was effective
I guess that yoga class paid off
I think the yoga class you attended was worth it
You got them hoes mad at work
You have made other female workers jealous
And your lil' cousin, she don't dance
Your younger female cousin does not dance for a living
She count your money and hold your purse
She counts your earnings and holds your belongings
Say you only dance to my songs
Your cousin mentioned that you only dance to my music
That's a gift and a curse
That is both beneficial and problematic

I'm glad we have Internet now. I remembered having to wait by the radio, listening through the Top 40 charts just to record this song on a casette tape. 😂 Ah... The good old days...
@jameswhipple5658
Yeah, in '84, I think, a song came on the radio & I drove around so I could listen to the whole song before I got home. No YouTube nor Google then...😎😉🎤🎶
@sariefaerie1121
I did the same thing to so many songs!!
@jameswhipple5658
@@sariefaerie1121 HI Sarah, I know you didn't ask, but, the song that I was talking about driving around to hear it in its entirety was Take Me Home Tonight by the late Eddie Money...👌🎤🎤🎶🎶
