And this it right here
Queen B, yeah, yeah
I'm the king, y'all know that (Usher, baby)
She the queen, came right back
(Oh, remix) yeah, man
Now, baby girl, there ain't nothin' more that I can say
You know by now I want it more than anything
If I walk away and just let you leave
You'll be stuck in my head like a melody
I know you want it (yeah)
But I'm hesitating (why?)
You must be crazy, I got a man, you got a lady
I know we here together
So this must be something special
'Cause, you could be anywhere you wanted
But you decided to be here with me
No coincidence it was meant to be
Don't be shy, gon' let ya boy get in
So you can tell all of your friends you was on the remix like
In this club (oh), in this club
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time?
If you ain't scared then say, "What's up?"
In this club, in this club
They can keep watchin', I ain't stoppin', baby, I don't give a
In this club, in this club
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time? (Yeah, yeah)
If you ain't scared then say, "What's up?" (Yeah)
In this club, in this club (yeah, hey)
They can keep watchin', baby, I don't give a
In this club
And baby, you know I'd be down
But we can't have all these people staring, standin' around
This right here is only for your eyes to see
But you getting carried away, saying we can do it wherever (ay, yeah, yeah)
The way you touching me (hey)
Like no other
I'ma make you feel insane, ohh, yeah
You're trying your hardest to make me give in
But I'ma be down to give you what you wantin' if you keep it up
I strongly doubt this velvet rope would hold me up
And I don't want security rollin' up on us (I got you)
I'm not hesitating, I just don't wanna rush
'Cause you could be anywhere you wanted
But you decided to be here with me
No coincidence it was meant to be
I guess if I mess around, I let you get in
You gon' tell all of your friends you was on this remix like
In this club, in this club (ohh)
Fellas, can I put this love up on you one time?
If you ain't scared then say, "What's up?"
In this club (in this club), in this club
They can keep watchin', I'm not stoppin', baby, I don't give a
In this club, in this club (I wanna make love)
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time? (I wanna)
If you ain't scared then say, "What's up?" (I wanna make love)
In this club, in this club (baby, put it on me, make love tonight)
They can keep watchin', baby, I don't give a (in this club, club)
In this club
Ahem, shawty want a thug, it started with a hug
And the rest went like this
I gave her neck a kissy kiss
She gave my neck a kiss back
I said, "We could do it like a stack"
I mean we could do it like a G
On the couch in V.I.p
Shawty, we can get it on
I'm like, "Shout out to the DJ
For playin' this song"
Girl, we could act like two damn fools
Have everybody think we doin' a dance move
Call me, so I can make it juicy for ya
Meet me in the bathroom and you could be my secret lover, yeah
And it started with a hug but now we makin' love in this club
And we not gonna stop just because
The people in the crowd are watching us
'Cause we don't give a damn what they say, this is
Th-the remix, baby
Come a little closer let daddy put it on ya
Need you to know, what happens here stays here
Well I'm, ready and willing
Mama's good to go, got you standing at attention
Keep it on the low
Ain't nobody watching
Don't worry they can't see us
I know I got you hot now let me in
You in the club or the car, wherever you are
Run and tell the DJ
Run it back on replay
In this club, in this club
Ladies, can I put this love up on you one time?
If you ain't scared then say, "What's up?"
In this club, in this club
They can keep watchin', baby, I don't give a (baby, I don't give a)
In this club, ay

Yeah, man (hey)
If we make love in this club (ay) (what would music be without Soundz?)
In this club (ay), in this club
Nobody will know, baby
Love In This Club Part II is a song by Usher featuring vocals from Beyoncé and a rap verse from Lil Wayne. The lyrics focus on the desire to make love in a club setting. The opening lines suggest that the song is geared toward women, as Usher acknowledges his female audience and also asserts his commitment to keeping the song “hood.” He then proceeds to invite a woman to experience the type of romance that she’s been searching for. Usher places emphasis on catering to the woman’s needs, as he asks about her drink of choice and promises to satisfy her all night long.
The chorus repeatedly echoes the desire to make love in the club, with the implication being that Usher and the woman are already in the club setting. He figuratively whisks her away from the crowd, focusing his attention solely on her while also recognizing the presence of her friends. Throughout the verses, Usher points to his physical attraction to the woman, but also makes clear that there are emotional as well as cognitive aspects to their attraction. He sees himself as a potential cure for her unfulfilled romantic needs.
Lil Wayne’s verse offers a contrasting perspective, focusing more overtly on the sexual nature of the relationship. He brags about his sexual prowess, comparing himself to medicine and suggesting that he’s able to provide for her in every way possible. He also offers more explicit details about the physical location of their encounter.
Overall, Love In This Club Part II offers a fantasy of a romantic encounter that takes place in a public setting. The lyrics are suggestive, but they don’t depict anything that is explicitly sexual or crude. The main narrative emphasizes the way that Usher sees himself as the answer to the woman’s romantic woes, while still paying attention to the physical details of their encounter.
