Let Me Ride
jacksoul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me call you, baby
Let me call you, sweetie pie
Say you wanna be my lady
'Cause you're more than a friend o'mine

Say you'll be my sugar dumplin'
My hugga-nugga love divine
Tell me that you wanna be my baby

Till the end of time

It's five o'clock in the morning
And we're up lounging with the moon
Day is fast approaching
And I'll be leaving soon

It's not long till it's on again
And you're calling, calling, calling to me
And I know I won't be leaving
'Cause I can't let you be

Let me call you, baby
Let me call you, sweetie pie
Say you wanna be my lady
'Cause you're more than a friend o'mine

Say you'll be my sugar dumplin'
My hugga-nugga love divine
Tell me that you wanna be my baby
Till the end of time

Can I tell 'em that I'm down with you?
Can I tell the world you love me to?
I just wanna know how it is
Ain't nobody gonna mess with this

I don't wanna play around no more
Here's my heart
Now tell me what it's for

Tell me that you wanna be my baby
Till the end of time
Tell my that you wanna be my baby
Till the end of time

I just wanna call you, baby
I just wanna be your man
I just wanna call you, baby
I just wanna be your man

Let me call you, baby
Let me call you, sweetie pie
Say you wanna be my lady
'Cause you're more than a friend o'mine

Say you'll be my sugar dumplin'
My hugga-nugga love divine

Tell me that you wanna be my baby
Till the end of time
