red light remix
Usher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's crazy
I can't believe that you
Would be the one to do
Do me like you do
Get back here baby

Girl you let me
Have my way and I was thinking I could get it again
Baby we could be friends if you're lonely
And you show me
Just how quick your tires could spin
You were off in the wind
Tell me were did you go

When you left (oh)
I'm thinking which way did she go
I should have known that you would lead me on girl
I'm in the wind on cruise control
I gotta be dreaming 'cause I never felt like this before

It was supposed to be
Just a one night
In and out and I'm out the door
But she's got me sitting here
At the red light
Driving 'round looking out for her (for her)

It was supposed to be
Just a one night (one night)
In and out and I'm out the door
So why am I sittin' here at the red light (sittin' here)
At the red light (looking crazy)
Driving 'round looking out for her (looking out for her)

Now it's raining
And I'm looking over at the passenger side
Thinking back in my mind how you set me off
She was stopping and dropping me
Switching from fast to slow
But that ain't have nothing on how you got
When I got you home

When you left (oh)
I'm thinking which way did she go
The way you touched yourself had me up the wall
I'm in the wind on cruise control
I'm searching for you 'cause I can't seem to let you go

It was supposed to be
Just a one night (one night)
In and out and I'm out the door
But she's got me sitting here
At the red light (looking crazy)
Driving 'round looking out for her (for her)

It was supposed to be (supposed to be)
Just a one night (one night)
In and out and I'm out the door (the door)
So why am I sittin' here at the red light
At the red light (looking crazy)
Driving 'round looking out for her (looking out for her)

You know
I really only thought
That this would be a one night stand
What you doing to me
Come on
What you doing to me

Maybe (maybe)
She's running home to someone else (what you doing to me, what you doing me))
Or maybe (or maybe)
She lost my number in her cell
(Oh babe)
(What you doing to me)
Or maybe (or maybe)
She's never done like this before (what you doing to me, what you doing to me)
'Cause I can't see (can't see)
Her not coming back for more (what you doing to me, don't stopit )
More

It was supposed to be
Just a one night (just a one night)
In and out and I'm out the door (and I'm out the door)
But she's got me sitting here
At the red light
Driving 'round looking out for her (got me going crazy)

It was supposed to be (supposed to be)
Just a one night (one night)
In and out and I'm out the door (in and out the door)
So why am I sittin' here at the red light
At the red light (red light)
Driving 'round looking out for her (ooh crazy)

It was supposed to be
Just a one night (one night)
In and out and I'm out the door (the door)
But she's got me sitting here
At the red light (red light)
Driving round looking out for her

It was supposed to be
Just a one night
In and out and I'm out the door
So why am I sittin' here at the red light




At the red light
Driving 'round looking out for her (looking out for her)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Red Light" by Usher Featuring Lil' Jon & Ludacris tells a tale of a man who cannot believe that the woman he was with for just one night could have such a significant impact on him. He did not expect anything beyond just a one-night stand, but now he is sitting at the red light, driving around and looking out for her because he can't forget her. He is amazed at her ability to have her way with him and is intrigued by her sexual prowess. The experience has left him dreaming and feeling things he never felt before. However, the woman has disappeared, leaving him at a red light searching for her.


The lyrics are a reflection of the passion, excitement, and unpredictability that can come with a one-night stand. The song is about the power of sexual attraction and how it can leave people feeling both exhilarated and unfulfilled. The man in the song is unable to forget the woman he was with, and he is driving around looking for her, hoping to find her again. The lyrics are also an ode to the thrill of the chase, the thrill of the hunt.


Line by Line Meaning

It's crazy
The situation is unbelievable and unexpected


I can't believe that you
I am surprised that you would act this way


Would be the one to do
I didn't expect you to do what you did


Do me like you do
Treat me with such disrespect or play me


Get back here baby
Come back to me, I want to talk to you


Girl you let me
You allowed me to


Have my way and I was thinking I could get it again
I thought we could have another encounter like that


Baby we could be friends if you're lonely
If you are feeling lonely, we could be friends


And you show me
And you demonstrate for me


Just how quick your tires could spin
Show me how fast your car can go


You were off in the wind
You left quickly and without warning


Tell me were did you go
Where did you run off to


When you left (oh)
When you disappeared


I'm thinking which way did she go
I am trying to figure out which direction you headed


I should have known that you would lead me on girl
I should have realized that you were going to deceive me


I'm in the wind on cruise control
I am driving aimlessly


I gotta be dreaming 'cause I never felt like this before
I must be imagining this because I have never been in this situation before


It was supposed to be
It was agreed that it should have been


Just a one night
Just a single night of passion


In and out and I'm out the door
A quick hook-up without any emotion or attachment


But she's got me sitting here
But now I am stuck here


At the red light
Stopped at a traffic light


Driving 'round looking out for her (for her)
Cruising around searching for her


Now it's raining
The weather has changed and now it is raining


And I'm looking over at the passenger side
I am glancing over to the side where the passenger seat is


Thinking back in my mind how you set me off
Recalling how you provoked me


She was stopping and dropping me
She was alternating between being interested and dismissive of me


Switching from fast to slow
Changing moods or levels of excitement quickly


But that ain't have nothing on how you got
But that was nothing compared to how you reacted


When I got you home
When we were together in private


The way you touched yourself had me up the wall
Watching you pleasure yourself made me go crazy with desire


I'm searching for you 'cause I can't seem to let you go
I am actively looking for you because I cannot seem to forget about you


You know
You understand what I am saying


I really only thought
I believed


That this would be a one night stand
That we would only have one encounter


What you doing to me
How are you making me feel this way


Come on
I need an explanation or response from you


Maybe (maybe)
Perhaps


She's running home to someone else (what you doing to me, what you doing me))
She could be going back to another person she is seeing


Or maybe (or maybe)
On the other hand


She lost my number in her cell
It is possible that she deleted my contact information


(Oh babe)
An exclamation of frustration or disappointment


She's never done like this before (what you doing to me, what you doing to me)
She has never behaved this way previously


'Cause I can't see (can't see)
I don't understand


Her not coming back for more (what you doing to me, don't stop it )
I can't imagine that she wouldn't want to see me again


It was supposed to be
We had planned that it was going to be


Just a one night (just a one night)
Just a single night of fun


In and out and I'm out the door (and I'm out the door)
Casual sex without commitment and with a quick exit


Driving round looking out for her
Going in circles trying to find her


(got me going crazy)
Making me feel insane or irrational

I believe it was on Usher's re-release of "Confessions." I love "Red Light." Probably my favorite song by him in terms of vocals and production by Lil' John.
