Ayy, girl
Usher is addressing the girl he finds attractive.

What's your name? Baby, what's your number?
Usher wants to know the name and phone number of the girl he's interested in.

'Cause, girl, you got me (got me), got a brother wondering If you want a (want a) homie and a lover (and a lover) I can be your friend 'til the end
Usher is expressing his interest in the girl and offering to be her friend and lover.

Now, girl, what's up? I'm going crazy Ayy, girl, what's up?
Usher is excited about the girl and asking what's up.

'Cause I wanna know if I can love you Yo, girl, what's up? (What's up? What's up?) Yo, won't you be my lady, yeah?
Usher is asking the girl if she will be his girlfriend.

Uh, I wanna know who you are What's your name? I wanna know who you are What's your name? I wanna know who you are And make you a star Girl, I'm giving you everything 'Cause my love is yours
Usher reiterates his desire to know the girl more and make her famous, as he's willing to give her everything.

Damn, your double deed is making Willie mumble, yo Jilie jolies, I'm a rock it, yo, like we get dumb What's your digit? Put it in my phone (what's your name?) Hit me when you're all alone (what's your number?)
Will.i.am is trying to impress the girl, and asking for her phone number to call her later.

We'll flirt through technology, girl
Will.i.am proposes to flirt with the girl through technology.

Would it, should it be a problem If I holler, "Cómo se llama?" Would you bother, like Donna Summers? Girl, give me this last dance (yeah) Until we soul escaping, babe, don't wanna float away
Usher asks if it would be okay to ask for the girl's name in Spanish, referencing Donna Summer's song "Love to Love You Baby." Usher wants to dance with the girl until they forget their surroundings and escape into another world together.

'Cause we got the light, you be the ball, and I'ma be the chain, babe Now, rotate ('round and 'round and 'round) You got nowhere to go, babe (girl, I didn't get your number) Illuminate and create a new thing (pop, pop, pop, pop, pop) Let them paparazzi this you and me thing But we can't do a thing 'til I know your name
Usher compares their connection to a ball and chain, and asks the girl to dance in circles with him. He wants to be with her while avoiding the paparazzi, but he needs to know her name before they can go any further.

Ayy, bitch, let's get with it 'Cause you ti-tick did it Mami make a brother wanna di-di-dig it The honey put it on me now I'm speaking like th-this Just like th-this I'm a ling ging starter Take silicon and I'm a ling ging starter My ding ding dotter On my ding-dong, she could love anything taller Ma jaba jaba jee

Now, girl, what's up? Oh, I'm going crazy, yeah Now, girl, what's up? (What's up? What's up?) I wanna know if I can love you Girl, what's up? (What's up? What's up?) Won't you be my lady, yeah? Yeah, girl, what's up? (What's up? What's up?) Uh, I wanna know who you are

Ayy, girl Ayy, ayy Ayy, girl Ayy, ayy Ayy, girl Ayy, girl Ayy, ayy Ayy, girl Ayy, ayy
