How Many Times
Tinashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was thinking to myself
While I was staring at your body
Over me, that I don't need nobody else
I love your kisses when they're long
And they're deep, run your fingers through my hair
The way you touch me, I know it's meant to be
We can do it anywhere
I make your wishes baby one, two, three

How man times can we make love in one night
(One night)
How many times can we make love in one night
How many times can we make love in one night
(Turn, up, turn up, turn up, turn it up)

As I look in to your eyes
It's like I'm staring in another Galaxy
I don't know what's on your mind
But it's like you don't thinking about me
We're having breakfast in the bed
Know I love the way you scramble in the sheets
I'm 'bout to take it your head
I'm making wishes baby one, two, three

How man times can we make love in one night
(One night)
How many times can we make love in one night
How many times can we make love in one night
(Turn, up, turn up, turn up, turn it up)

Hit ya from the back seat
Smokin' hot pot beat
I'mma hit ya hard
I'mma put your face in the pillow
Split you like a cigarillo
Kiss you like till you catch a feeling round your nipple
Turn up on a nigga
(Straight Up)
Turn up, turn up, in your mouth
(Straight Up)
Bend you over on the couch
Baby get in her knees
Young Fi make you tick
Fuck you like real dick
Shit bitch, lick, lick

How man times can we make love in one night
(One night)
How many times can we make love in one night




How many times can we make love in one night
Turn it up

Overall Meaning

In Tinashe's How Many Times, the singer is describing her intimate relationship with her partner. The lyrics are quite self-explanatory, in the sense that the singer finds the physical connection with her partner fulfilling and doesn't need anyone else. The entire song consists of her imagining her lovemaking with her significant other and wondering how many times they could do it in one night. The second verse illustrates the passion and heat between them further, showcasing their intimate moments such as eating breakfast in bed and making wishes together before engaging in sexual activity. The third verse primarily focuses on the physicality of their relationship, describing in detail how they enjoy each other’s bodies.


Overall, the song is about the singer's intense sexual desire for her lover and their ability to fulfill that desire. The question she keeps asking about the number of times they could make love is almost hypothetical as she knows that even if it’s endless, it wouldn’t be enough. The sensual and seductive language used in the lyrics emphasizes the singer's yearning for their physical relationship.
