Outside
Trey Songz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just want your body on this morning dew
I got these covers laying right for us
Ain't nobody looking, it's just mother nature watching us
I feel like tonight we should switch it up
No couch, no bed, no kitchen floor
Uh, can I take your body on a ride
I basically, wanna do it to you outside
Top down with the stars looking inside
Always wanted to do you in the pool,
And all night all our light is the moon
I don't want nobody more than you
I Just want your body on this morning dew
Now, I got these covers laying right for us
Ain't nobody looking, it's just mother nature watching us
Outside, front seat of my car, underneath the stars
Let's make love
Outside, I don't really care, if anybody sees us
Making love, I want you to keep going baby
Making love, I don't care if they call us crazy
Outside, I don't even care, anyone can stare
While we're outside
If you catch someone looking all you gotta do is close your eyes
Girl don't you say a peep, dig your nails into my spine
We can take it to the roof top baby,
Or the elevator then take it to the roof top baby
With you on top baby, no need to be curious about what I'm gonna do
I wanna make your you know storm tonight
I don't want nobody more than you
Just want your body on this morning dew
I got these covers laying right for us
Ain't nobody looking, it's just mother nature watching us
Outside, front seat of my car, underneath the stars
Let's make love
Outside, I don't really care, if anybody sees us
Making love, I want you to keep going baby
Making love, I don't care if they call us crazy
Outside, I don't even care, anyone can stare
While we're outside
I don't want nobody more than you
Just want your body on this morning dew
I got these covers laying right for us
Ain't nobody looking, it's just mother nature watching us.

I don't desire anyone else but you
Just want your body on this morning dew
I want to be intimate with you on this fresh morning
I got these covers laying right for us
I prepared the bedding for our intimacy
Ain't nobody looking, it's just mother nature watching us
We have privacy because there are no observers, apart from nature
I feel like tonight we should switch it up
I want to do something different tonight
No couch, no bed, no kitchen floor
I want to be intimate at a different location
Uh, can I take your body on a ride
May I explore your body?
Take you to the park, then hit it on the slide
I want to take you to the park and be intimate on the slide
I basically, wanna do it to you outside
I want to be intimate with you in nature
Top down with the stars looking inside
Being intimate with the convertible top down, with the stars shining above us
Always wanted to do you in the pool,
I have always wanted to be intimate with you in the pool
And all night all our light is the moon
Our light source for the night will be the moon

Intimacy in the front seat of my car with the stars watching

While we're outside
During our intimate session in nature
If you catch someone looking all you gotta do is close your eyes
If someone is observing us being intimate, we can ignore them and focus on each other
Girl don't you say a peep, dig your nails into my spine
Don't make a sound, grip me tightly
We can take it to the roof top baby,
We can be intimate on the rooftop
Or the elevator then take it to the roof top baby
We can be intimate in the elevator, then go to the rooftop
With you on top baby, no need to be curious about what I'm gonna do
You don't need to worry about what I will do when you are on top
I wanna make your you know storm tonight
I want to please you greatly tonight

I just came to say this is still slapping in 2022 👏🏾🔥 Trey stayed way ahead of his time

This is one of those times where I REALLY understand why everyone loves to hear him sing about sex. His voice... his passion... his unique ability to speak into a microphone and bring chills to my body with the words that come from his lips... its mindblowing. It's very rare that a singer can capture that pure feeling... and Trey does it the best, no doubt.
