Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey, (Hey hey)
Hey Mickey (Hey, hey)
Oh, Mickey, you're so fine (You're so fine and you're mine)
I'll be yours till the end of time
'Cause you make me feel
Yeah, you make me feel
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time (Touched for the first time)
Like the one in me
That's O.K.
Let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes
Let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Na na na come on
Na na na na na, come on, come on, come on
'Cause I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex baby,
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex (Alright)
Let's talk about sex (A little bit, a little bit)
Let's talk about sex, baby
Baby, all through the night, I'll make love to you,
Like you want me too
(And I) And I guess it's just the woman in you,
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me
It feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time
It's going down fade to Blackstreet
The homies got at me collab creations bump, like acne
No doubt, I put it down never slouch
As long as my credit could vouch, a dog couldn't catch me, straight up
Tell me who could stop when Dre making moves, attracting honeys like a magnet
Giving them eargasms with my mellow accent
Still moving this flavour with homies Blackstreet and Teddy
The original rump shakers (Shorty get down)
Good Lord
Baby got them open up all over town
Strictly biz she don't play around
Cover much ground got game by the pound
Getting paid is her forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can't get her outta my mind
I think about the girl all the time
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, baby
(Girl)I like the way you work it,
No diggity, I got to bag it up, baby,
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, baby
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up , babe
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
We out
"The Riff" by Woody & Lee is a mashup of various popular songs, so the lyrics are a mix of different songs' lyrics. Each paragraph represents a different set of lyrics.
The first paragraph starts with the iconic line "Oh, Mickey, you're so fine," which is from Toni Basil's hit song "Mickey." The lyrics express admiration and infatuation towards someone, Mickey, who has a captivating effect on the singer's mind and emotions. It conveys a sense of excitement and the feeling of being attracted to someone who makes them feel special and new.
The second paragraph incorporates Madonna's song "Like a Virgin." It talks about feeling like a virgin, experiencing something for the first time, and being filled with a sense of innocence. The lyrics also mention the willingness to explore and discover new aspects of oneself, as well as inviting the other person to engage in a challenge or confrontation. The phrase "hit me with your best shot" could be interpreted as asking the partner to show their true self or give their best effort in the relationship.
The third paragraph mixes lyrics from Rihanna's song "S&M" and Salt-N-Pepa's "Let's Talk About Sex." It introduces the theme of sexuality and pleasure, stating that the singer is unapologetic about their desires and enjoys the thrill and excitement of sexual exploration. It suggests that the person finds satisfaction in engaging in unconventional activities that others may view as strange or taboo. The lyrics also discuss the importance of open communication and discussing all aspects of a sexual relationship.
The final paragraph brings together lyrics from multiple songs. It starts with Foreigner's song "Feels Like the First Time," which conveys the intense emotion and excitement of experiencing something as if it were the very first time. Then it transitions into Dr. Dre's collaboration with Blackstreet in their hit song "No Diggity," which is about a woman who is alluring and has a strong influence on the singer's mind. It emphasizes the woman's attractiveness, business-mindedness, and the singer's inability to stop thinking about her. The repetition of "No Diggity" reflects a sense of admiration for her and a desire to show appreciation for her work or character.
