You Come First
Zak Abel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They'd say you had a lot of selfish lovers
Get what they want, hit and run away (ay)
Not gonna lie, if I was your guy
I would never treat you like the others
If you wanna ride, I'mma take you all the way (that's it)
So let me go down, down, down, down
I'mma go round, round, round, round
'Til you've had enough
Let me go down, down, down, down
You know that it makes me happy
Hearing you loud, loud, loud, loud
When you feel my love
Darling, yo-o-ou come first
Let me give you what yo-o-ou deserve
If I'mma love you, make you
Feel like you're the only one
Then yo-o-ou come first, uh
Come, come yo-o-ou
Come, come yo-o-ou
Wanna adore ya, let me explore ya
Bring ya right back to mother nature
I wanna know how to get you to that place (ay)
So what do you like? Tell me your vice
I don't wanna love in moderation
If you wanna ride, I'mma take you all the way (that's it)
So let me go down, down, down, down
You don't even need to ask me
I'mma go round, round, round, round
'Til you feel my love
Darling, yo-o-ou come first
Let me give you what yo-o-ou deserve
If I'mma love you, make you
Feel like you're the only one
Then yo-o-ou come first
Look, uh
I be going back and forth if I should keep you
You know I'm careful who I go and give the keys to
I need a man to be around when I need him
Make sure that I come first in the sheets too (ha-ha)
Every night you probably pray for this
But understand you ain't dealing with no basic bitch
I be H-I-G-H spank in this
Now you see why Saweetie don't play with tricks
'Cause I be onto the next, if you don't come correct
Nah I'm all 'bout respect, like the ice on my neck
I be running up a cheque, watch a bitch work
Try and keep up baby but I finish first
Oh, I'll be patient with your body
I wait forever and a day
And if I ever fail you darling
Let me know, so I can learn from my mistakes
'Cause darling, yo-o-ou come first
Let me give you what yo-o-ou deserve
If I'mma love you, make you
Feel like you're the only one
Then yo-o-ou come first
