Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, you got me
Ooh, you got me
Ooh, you got me
You have to leave, just stay for a while
The longer you stay, the better the time
You listen to your friends, they lie
Feelin's get caught up in the mind
A shootin' star pass by my eye
When I don't know just what to do
She won't blow my high
Don't you stop turnin' me on (ooh, you got me)
I wanna feel like this all night long (ooh, you got me)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (don't you stop turnin' me on)
I wanna feel like this all night long (feel like this all night long, yeah)
Turnin' me on
All night, night, long (oh yeah)
You wanna stay, just stay for long
'Cause you got the sweetest touch I know
You might just dance with them other guys
But I don't mind, I know you're mine
I don't care just what they say
Lovin' you long takes the pain away
So when you look me in my eyes
Will you take some time?
Don't you stop turnin' me on (ooh, you got me)
I wanna feel like this all night long (ooh, you got me)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (don't you stop turnin' me on)
I wanna feel like this all night long (feel like this all night long)
Turnin' me on
It's just, I can't fight this feelin' (all night, night, long)
Woah, oh-oh, ooh-woah, yeah
Ooh-woah, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
I can't fight this feelin'
Woah, ooh-woah, oh, woah, ooh, yeah
Don't fight this feelin'
Don't fight this feelin'
ooh-woah, ooh-ooh, woah, oh
Don't you stop turnin' me on (don't you stop turnin' me on, ooh, you got me)
I wanna feel like this all night long (like this for oh, like this for oh so long)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (don't you stop turnin' me on)
I wanna feel like this all night long (feel like this all night long)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (turnin' me on)
I wanna feel like this all night long (all night, night long)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (ooh, you got me)
I wanna feel like this all night long (ooh, you got me)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (don't you stop turnin' me on, ooh, you got me)
I wanna feel like this all night long (all night, night long, ooh, you got me)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (ooh, you got me)
Feel like this all night long (ooh, you got me)
Don't you stop turnin' me on (ooh, you got me)
Feel like this all night long (ooh, you got me)
The lyrics of Tory Lanez's song, "Ballad of a Badman" describe a man's desire to prolong his time with a woman he is enamored with. He implores her to stay for a while longer because he feels the longer she stays, the better the time they will have together. He acknowledges that her friends may discourage her from spending time with him, but he doesn't mind because he knows that his feelings for her are real. This woman's touch is described as sweet, something the singer finds irresistible. He doesn't care if she dances with other men as he knows that she belongs to him. He wants to cherish every moment with her, to feel the way he does when they're together forever.
The lyrics mention a shooting star that passes by the singer's eye when he doesn't know what to do. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's feeling vulnerable and small. It's like the passing of the shooting star reminds him of the fleeting nature of his feelings and how difficult it is to hold on to them. The chorus, "Don't you stop turning me on" is a plea for the woman not to leave him. The singer wants to feel the way he does when he's with her all night long. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's longing for her.
