Out Of Sight
Them Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got your high-heel sneakers on
You know you're steppin' new
Got your high-heel sneakers on
You know you're steppin' new
Oh Lord, you're alright, you're alright
You know you're outta sight

The way you shake that thang, baby
The way you're steppin' too
The way you shake that thing, mama
The way you're steppin' too
Oh Lord, you're too much
You know you're outta sight

Yeah, hey, hey

Woo!

You're a crazy little mama
And in our neighborhood
Yeah, crazy little mama
'Round about our neighborhood
You know you're alright, you're alright
Lord, you're outta sight

Yeah, hey, hey
You're all right, yeah, yeah
All right, all right, all right
You're outta sight, baby
You're out, you're outta, outta sight




You're out, outta sight
You're all right; you're outta sight
