You're the one I want to spend this night with
Trying to get in them drawers and bang it out 'til the morning (the morning)

Rubbing that body on me
The song "Body on Me" by Akon feat. Ashanti & Nelly is a classic R&B love song that talks about the instant attraction and desire felt towards someone. The lyrics describe the physical attraction between two people, praising the woman's body and sensuous walk, and the man's intense need to have her overnight. The song's lyrics also suggest a strong desire to take the relationship to the next level, beyond just a casual fling.
The chorus portrays the desire to be close to each other, with the woman shaking her body and rubbing it on the man. The verses talk about the man's need to know more about the woman and to build a real connection with her, beyond just physical attraction.
The lyrics use a lot of sexual innuendo, but it ultimately conveys a message of respect and desire for a deeper connection. The song's melody is catchy, and the vocals of all three singers complement each other beautifully, making it a classic R&B love song that many listeners can relate to.
