Come on
Zapp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You girl!
You got my mind messed up (yes you have)
When I look at you girl
My heart starts to flutter
And my mind goes wild
You sassy, sassy thing you
How can you be, what makes you be
How come you act so mean
Wearing those skin tight Calvin Klein Jeans
Shucks
Come on, and give it to me, Come on!
Why don't you common and give it to me!
You got to know your legs can
make the best of men slip
How do you keep your head straight
And still move your hips?
I dont know, but it sure looks good to me
Looks so good to me.
Got to be the girl in his blessing
You turned around a no-good man (yes you did)
And I wanna keep you any way I can
I dont want to loose your love (2x)
Come on baby,
Come on sugar,
Come on honey.
I need your loving
I want your loving, girl

Come on! Yeah.
Shucks, now
Don't be so mean
Don't act so mean
You wear your skin tight jeans




And you don't know
What you are doing to me

He acknowledges that she wears her "skin tight jeans" with confidence, but also seems to be confounded by their effect on him.


Overall, the lyrics to "Come On" are a light-hearted and playful exploration of the power of attraction, particularly when it comes to the female form.
