Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that own you been so good to me (You stupid for this) if this world were mine
Whoop! Camay we gon take back like polka dots holla
Wicked!

Boy, want you put the needle on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)
I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets grab a glass lets make a toast wit me (Turn Da Lights Off)

You and I in the room so dark
Hold me tight all night lights off
Kiss me everywhere I can never dream boy
It's like heaven, heaven (when we yeah) yeah

You gotta put the needle back on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
Then lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)
I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets grab a glass and lets make a toast (Turn Da Lights Off)

Here we are you and me just us two yeah, yeah

Don't hold back let it go show me how you feel yeahah
Ride all night all night like a want it you gotta put

You gotta put the needle back on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
Then lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)
I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets grab a glass and lets make a toast (Turn Da Lights Off)

Hit the switch to the lights to night make it right like a first class flight
We igniting like smoking a pipe turn it up like we rockin the mic
You get me hyper feel horny and trife so polite you might make me your wife

And if I let you go feel on me you gon have to play this one more time.

You gotta put the needle back on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
Then lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)
I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets grab a glass and lets make a toast (Turn Da Lights Off)

You gotta put the needle back on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)
Then lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)




I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)
And lets grab a glass and lets make a toast (Turn Da Lights Off)
