I see you on the dance floor
You the baddest in the club
I had two shots of patron 
But I may need two more 
To work up my nerves 
And push up on ya
And while I’m getting closer
You dancing naughtier 
You move
Your body like a charm caster
I’m hypnotized by yah whine 
Ya body like Rihanna 
I must push up on yah 
Won’t you twist it
Won’t you drop it low for me
Drop
Pick it up Twerking
Lemme see yah cheeks
Clap
I could be yah solider
I could be ya king (throne)
If what you do in the club
You do in the sheets
You do in the sheets
Baby lemme sing you
Yah body is a song
Ya hips is the rhythm
Yah booty is the drum 
You move
Your body like a charm caster
I’m hypnotized by yah

Got me in a daze
All night I’ve been watching you
Singing yo’ praise
I’m tempted to touch
Every inch of your body
I’m under you spell
And I cannot deny it
If I am Adam
You the snake in my Garden
Give me apple I’ll bite it
Bounce that booty despacito oh

Nobody do it better never (Naw)
After I push up on yah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tone, a collaboration between Tone and Xavier Naidoo, describe the singer's admiration for a woman he sees dancing in a club. Despite having had a few shots of patron, he feels he needs a couple more to build up his confidence to approach her. He marvels at her body movements, describing it as a charm caster and feeling hypnotized. He's entranced by her body, comparing her figure to that of Rihanna's, which causes him to urge her to dance and move her hips for him. The singer reveals that if the woman's dance moves in the club are anything to go by, he wants to be with her in bed as well. The lyrics continue with the singer contemplating his desire to touch every inch of the mesmerizing woman's body, confessing that he's under her spell and that he cannot resist her.


The song's lyrics can be perceived as somewhat problematic because the singer objectifies and reduces the woman's worth to her physical appearance and dance ability. The lyrics suggest that the singer is only interested in a sexual relationship with the woman and not necessarily in getting to know her on a personal level. Nonetheless, the lyrics effectively capture the excitement and thrill of being in a club and meeting someone new.
