And I gotta keep it hood
Where we at Polo? Aye

Yo Keith nigga you was right
We just gettin' started, yeah man

Well, come here, baby
And let daddy show you what it feel like
You know all you gotta do is
Tell me what you sippin' on
And I promise that I'm gonna keep it comin'
All night long
Lookin' in your eyes while you on the other side
And I think that shorty I've got a thing for you, yeah

Make love in this club, yea, in this club, yea, in this club
Listen, you got some friends rollin' with you
Baby, then that's cool
You can leave them with my niggas
Let 'em know that I got you
If you didn't know
You're the only thing that's on my mind
'Cause the way I'm starin' at you
Got me wantin' to give it to you all night
Lookin' in your eyes while you on the other side
I can't take it no more
Baby, I'm comin' for you
You keep doin' it on purpose windin' and workin' it
If we close our eyes it could be just me and you
I wanna make love in this club
Make love in this club, yea, in this club, yea, in this club

He got you trapped, I'll set you free
Sexually, mentally, physically, emotionally
I'll be like your medicine, you'll take every dose of me
It's goin' down on aisle 3
I'll bag you like some groceries
And every time you think about it
You gon' want some more of me
About to hit the club
Make a movie, yeah rated are
Pulled up like a trap star
That's if you have yo' regular car
You ever made love to a thug
In the club with his sights on
'87 jeans
And a fresh pair of Nike's on
On the couch, on the table
On the bar or on the floor
You can meet me in the bathroom
Yeah, you know I'm tryin' go
Might as well give me a kiss
If we keep touchin' like this
I know you scared baby
They don't know what we doin'
Let's both get undressed right here
Keep it up girl then I swear
I'mma give it to you non stop
And I don't care who's watchin'
Watchin', watchin'
Watchin', watchin', ohh
In this club, on the floor

Yea, yea, ey, ey
Love, crunk, in the club, what you want, gonna dig this babe
In the back, in the side, in the front
Back, right, love, that, crank that, crank that, yea
The opening lyrics frame the song as a love letter to women, but with a commitment from Usher to maintain his authenticity and not fall into a cliché trap in his delivery. The references to keeping it “hood” and directing the question of “where we at” are nods to the core of Usher’s musical identity. The lyrics evolving into a pickup line, as Usher offers to “do you right” while asking his female target what she’s sipping on, is a classic R&B trope, but his promise to keep the drinks coming “all night long” is a throwback to Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long”. The first verse sets the stage for the rest of the song, as Usher pursues a woman he is attracted to and attempts to convince her to consummate their relationship in the club.
The chorus is simple and repetitive, which is characteristic of many club anthems, and is a clear articulation of Usher’s desires. The second verse shifts slightly but stays on theme, with Usher attempting to convince his lady that she should let her friends go home with his friends so that they can pursue their connection. He reinforces the idea that he is thinking of her constantly, and that his desire to have sex with her is all-consuming. The bridge foregrounds Lil Wayne’s presence, as he offers a more explicit and aggressive come-on than Usher’s, with references to their sexual activities taking place not just in the club, but potentially in public spaces like a grocery store. Wayne’s presence is also noteworthy because of his fan base, which reaches beyond R&B and hip hop lovers to include a more mainstream pop audience.
