Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(initiate radar)

Your eyes say it all (all)
All
They're fixed upon an object of desire
You can't control (control)
No (No)
But gravity compels you to ignite (ignite)
And explode (explode)
Oh
Til our time and space combine you'll fantasize (size)
The unknown
Ooh

Girl it's taking off the ground
You know how I put it down
Have you seeing stars baby

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love
And find out whose in control
Mars verses Venus
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love
Lets find out who can tame desire

Seduce and analyze
Yeah
Objective is to conquer deep
And I, make paradise

Girl it's taking off the ground
You know how I put it down
Have you seeing stars ooh

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love
And find out whose in control
Mars verses Venus
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love
Lets find out who can tame desire

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love
And find out whose in control
Mars verses Venus
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love
Lets find out who can tame desire
Mars verses Venus

Pitch black
Across amidst the galaxy between the sheets
Want that only you and I
Generate when we collide
Hold that
Don't make my emotions peak
If I let go then I'll be weak
Your control is my defeat
I repeat never never never never
Will I give up no no no no
(I ain't givin' up no)

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love
And find out whose in control
Mars verses Venus
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love
Lets find out who can tame desire
Mars verses Venus

This is the big bang so unpredictable
Sex, love
And find out whose in control
Mars verses Venus
But when the worlds collide
This is the big bang
Step into the ring of fire
Sex, love
Lets find out who can tame desire
Mars verses Venus

But when the worlds collide

I don't know if I win
But I know that I wanna do it again

I don't know if I win
But I know that I wanna do it again

I don't know if I win
But I know that I wanna do it again, yeah





I don't know if I'll ever win
Mars verses Venus
