(feat. Keri Hilson, D.O.E.)

I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we can be the perfect soul mates
Talk to me girl
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go and touch, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like, I like, I like

I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Talk to me girl


Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I are?)
I don't need the G's or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are

Baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house I rent a room in a house
Listen baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat but I can float your boat




So listen baby girl, once you get a dose of D.O.E. you're gonna want some more
So listen baby girl, when I make it I want you back, want you back, yeah

Overall Meaning

The Way I Are by Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson and D.O.E. is a song that highlights the struggles of not having material possessions and the expectation of having to impress someone with them. The song begins with Timbaland admitting that he does not have any money or car to take his loved one on a fancy date, but he believes that they could be perfect for each other. He then asks his partner to talk to him while Keri Hilson jumps in to reassure him that it is alright not to have these things and that they could work things out together. She tells him that he doesn't need to flaunt his wealth; they can still work things out just between the two of them without any perks.


The chorus sees Timbaland expressing his attraction to his partner, stating that if she becomes a stripper, she can get a tip because he likes her just the way she is. He doesn't need a fancy car or any other expensive gifts; he likes his partner for who she is. He encourages her to strip and bring out her true self, and in return, she will receive a monetary tip. The song concludes with D.O.E. offering his perspective to his girlfriend, stating that he may have a smaller house or no motorboat, but he can still be there to support her and make her happy. He is confident that once his partner has a taste of him, she will come back for more, and when he makes it big, he will get his partner back.
