Give to me
Timbaland Furtado Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what you're looking for
I'm the type of girl that'll look you dead in the eye (eye)
I'm real as they come if you don't know why I'm fly
Seen ya try to switch it up, but, girl, you ain't got to
I'm the Wonder Woman; let me go get my ropes
I'm a supermodel, and, mummy, si mummy
You love my ass, and my abs, and the video called Promiscuous
My style is meticulous
If you see us in the club, we'll be acting real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Wanna see you work your body
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
When Timbo is in the party, everybody put up their hands
I get a half a mill for my beats, you get a couple grand
Never gonna see the day that I ain't got the upper hand
I'm respected from Californ-i-a way down to Japan
I'm a real producer, and you just the piano man
Your song gonna top the charts; I heard 'em; I'm not a fan
Niggas talkin' greasy, I'm the one that gave them they chance
Somebody need to tell 'em they can't do it like I can
If you see us in the club, we'll be acting real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Wanna see you work your body
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Could you speak up and stop the mumbling?
I don't think you came in clear
Sitting on the top; it's hard to hear you from way up here
I saw you tryin' to act cute on TV; just let me clear the air
We missed you on the charts last week
Damn, that's right, you wasn't there
If sexy never left, then why's everybody on my shit?
Don't hate on me just because you didn't come up with it
So if you see us in the club, go on and walk the other way
'Cause our run will never be over; not at least until we say
If you see us in the club, we'll be acting real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Wanna see you work your body
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
If you see us in the club, we'll be acting real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Wanna see you work your body
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
If you see us in the club, we'll be acting real nice
If you see us on the floor, you'll be watchin' all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Wanna see you work your body
So give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
