Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen to the people screaming out more, and more
'Cause I create the feeling that keep 'em coming back
Yeah, I create the feeling that keep 'em coming back
So captivating when I get it on the floor
Know y'all been patiently waiting
I know you need me, I can feel it
I'm that monster in the mirror
The headliner, finisher
I'm the closer, winner
Best when under pressure
With seconds left I show up
If you really want more (more), scream it out louder
Get on the floor (floor), bring out the fire
And light it up (up), take it up higher
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more
If you really want more (more), scream it out louder
Get on the floor (floor), bring out the fire
And light it up (up), take it up higher
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more
Get up both your hands, I'm in the zone tight
Put 'em in the air, if you more (and) more
'Cause I can't wait to feel it
I go hard, can't stop
But if I stop just know that I'mma bring it back
Never quittin' don't believe in that
Know y'all been patiently waiting
I know you need me, I can feel it
I'm a beast, I'm an animal
I'm that monster in the mirror
The headliner, finisher
I'm the closer, winner
Best when under pressure
With seconds left I show up
If you really want more (more), scream it out louder
Get on the floor (floor), bring out the fire
And light it up (up), take it up higher
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more
If you really want more (more), scream it out louder
Get on the floor (floor), bring out the fire
And light it up (up), take it up higher
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more
Oh (I give you more)
Oh (I give you, I, I give you more)
Oh
Gotta push it to the limit, give it more
Oh (I give you more)
Oh (I give you, I, I give you more)
Oh
Gotta push it to the limit, give it more
If you really want more (more), scream it out louder
Get on the floor (floor), bring out the fire
And light it up (up), take it up higher
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more
If you really want more (more), scream it out louder
Get on the floor (floor), bring out the fire
And light it up (up), take it up higher
Gonna push it to the limit, give it more
Oh
Oh
Oh
Gotta push it to the limit, give it more
