Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think about me now and then
Been missing my lover friend
Let's say we have a second round again
Yo
Usher, baby
I love all my friends
Girl it's been a while
So I thought I'd hit you up
You never left my mind
Let's pick it up where we left off
The last time I loved you fiercely baby
So let me feel you up
Yeah it's been a minute
I know you miss the way we touch
You can think about you don't want it
You don't wanna come across too anxious
Come see if you're ready for a second round
Girl I'm in your town, come over
Girl don't let me down, I won't be here for long
I'll show you a good time, one that we'll both remember
Girl give me your best, expect none less, girl
Said you wouldn't but you did it, oh girl
I can tell you don't regret it
'Cause you ain't been touched like this
Since the last time
The feeling that I get every time we connect, oh there it is
One more kiss, let 'em out, but I'll be back around
Baby you can hang around if you want to
But I gotta be out, have some B-I
When I get back, get ready for a second round
Girl I'm in your town, come over
Girl don't let me down, I won't be here for long
I'll show you a good time, one that we'll both remember
Girl give me your best, expect none less, girl
Girl, girl, girl
Girl, girl, girl
Girl
Just touched down in town again
You think about me now and then
Been missing my lover friend
Let's say we have a second round again
Girl I'm in your town, come over
Girl don't let me down, I won't be here for long
I'll show you a good time, one that we'll both remember
Girl give me your best, expect none less, girl

You can stay with me if you desire
But I gotta be out, have some V-I
I need to leave, as I have some other plans
When I get back, be ready for a second round
When I return, be prepared to have another intimate moment with me
