Timbaland
Timbaland Ft. Keri Hilson Ft. D.O.E. Lyrics

Yeah!
An exclamation of enthusiasm or excitement.

Remember the time, baby, yeah!
Asking the listener to recall a time in the past.

I ain't got no money
Expressing the lack of wealth.

I ain't got no car to take you on a date
Acknowledging the lack of a vehicle to facilitate dating activities.

I can't even buy you flowers
Bemoaning the inability to gift flowers due to a lack of funds.

But together we be the perfect soul mates
Despite financial shortcomings, implying the spiritual compatibility of the two individuals.

Talk to me, girl
Requesting conversation with a female.

(Oh) baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta floss for me
Assuring the listener that they do not have to pretend to be more affluent than they are.

If we go and touch, you can still touch my love; it's free
Offering affection and intimacy for free regardless of the listener's material possessions.

We can work without the perks, just you and me
Suggesting they can enjoy the relationship without the usual trimmings of luxury.

Thug it out till we get it right
Enduring the hardships of life until success is achieved.

Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
Proposing that the listener can receive payment for nudity.

Cause I like you just the way you are
Assuring the listener they are appreciated as they are.

(I'm about to strip, and I want it quick
Agreeing and expressing readiness to strip nude and requesting prompt payment.

Can you handle me the way I are?)
Asking if the listener can accept them for who they are.

I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Stating that material wealth is not essential in a relationship.

Boy, I like you just the way you are
Reiterating that the listener is appreciated as they are.

Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
Encouraging the listener to proceed with stripping for payment.

I ain't got no Visa
Pointing out a lack of purchasing power via a specific financial instrument.

I ain't got no Red American Express
Identifying a high-end credit card which they do not possess.

We can't go nowhere exotic
Acknowledging a lack of resources to fund travel to exotic locations.

It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Reassuring the listener that material wealth does not affect the love they have for them.

Baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house; I rent a room in a house
In contrast to the luxurious lifestyle expected of hip-hop artists, admitting to renting a room in a house.

Listen, baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat, but I can float ya boat
Perceived as rhyming with the previous line and insinuating sexual innuendo.

Once you get a dose of D.O.E., you gon' want some mo'
Suggesting that the listener will desire more interactions with D.O.E.

When I make it, I want you there, want you there, yeah
When they achieve success, the listener will be there with them.
