The way U are
Timbaland ft Keri Hilson & D.O.E. Lyrics

Yeah!
Expression of excitement and enthusiasm

Remember the time, baby, yeah!
Reminiscing about the past with fondness

I ain't got no money
Declaring lack of financial resources

I ain't got no car to take you on a date
Acknowledging lack of a vehicle for transportation

I can't even buy you flowers
Expressing inability to provide romantic gestures

But together we be the perfect soul mates
Believing that the relationship is based on more than material possessions

Talk to me, girl
Asking for communication and connection

(Oh) baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta floss for me
Assuring that material possessions are not a requirement

If we go and touch, you can still touch my love it's free
Offering love freely without expectation

We can work without the perks, just you and me
Proposing a relationship that does not require any added benefits

Thug it out till we get it right
Suggesting that they will work hard to make the relationship succeed

Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
Offering monetary compensation for stripping

'Cause I like you just the way you are
Expressing that physical appearance is not important

(I'm about to strip, and I want it quick
Suggesting readiness to engage in stripping

Can you handle me the way I are?)
Asking for acceptance of one's true self

I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Declaring that material possessions are unnecessary

Boy, I like you just the way you are
Affirming acceptance of one's true self

Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
Offering monetary compensation for stripping

Baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house; I rent a room in a house
Admitting living in a small space

Listen, baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat, but I can float ya boat
Suggesting that they still have fun without expensive activities

Once you get a dose of D.O.E., you gon' want some mo'
Promoting self-confidence

When I make it, I want you there, want you there, yeah
Expressing desire for continued companionship in the future
