Read My Lips Lyrics

[Bridge 1]
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby, get up all in this
La la la la la la
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby, get up all in this
La la la la la la

[Verse 1]
So we’re stayin in tonight
Everybody’s goin out
Can we sit this one out, baby?
I got something else in mind, close the blinds, dim the lights
And you better bring your appetite
I’ll make you something real nice
If you like a lot of heat
Better come up in my kitchen, baby
Got everything that you like, why don’t you have a little taste?
Don’t let nothing, don’t let nothing go to waste

[Pre-Chorus]
Down down, but you gotta savor it, savor it
I know it’s your favorite dish
Down down, you better put yo feet up
You ain’t leavin til you eat it all up
[Chorus]
I just wanna take care of you, baby
You’re the only one I wanna give it to
This is all for you
I just wanna take care of you, baby
Read my lips, boy
That's all you gotta do
This is all for you

[Bridge 2]
On the kitchen floor, tonight you know it’s going down
If you want some more baby you know I can throw it down
Turn my oven on and it ain’t gon be no slowin down
This is how it’s going down, this is how it’s

[Verse 2]
You can call it dinner time, we ain’t gotta go out
You got a home cooked meal right here
Come on and take another bite, that’s right, that’s right
Keep on going til you’re satisfied
It’s the best you ever had, once you taste a piece of that
You can never go back baby, yea
There’s nothing else like this around town
Boy I got that sugar that can make you fall down

[Pre-Chorus]
Down down, but you gotta savor it, savor it
I know it’s your favorite dish
Down down, you better put yo feet up
You ain’t leavin til you eat it all up
[Chorus]
I just wanna take care of you, baby
You’re the only one I wanna give it to
This is all for you
I just wanna take care of you, baby
Read my lips, boy
That's all you gotta do
This is all for you

[Bridge 2]
On the kitchen floor, tonight you know it’s going down
If you want some more baby you know I can throw it down
Turn my oven on and it ain’t gon be no slowin down
This is how it’s going down, this is how it’s

[Bridge 1]
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby get up all in this
La la la la la la
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby get up all in this
La la la la la la
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby get up all in this
La la la la la la
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby get up all in this
Baby get up all in this
Read my lips
[Chorus]
I just wanna take care of you, baby
You’re the only one I wanna give it to
This is all for you
I just wanna take care of you, baby
Read my lips, boy
That's all you gotta do
This is all for you

[Outro]
Read my lips, read my lips
Baby baby Read my lips, read my lips
Read my lips
Baby baby Read my lips, read my lips
Read my lips
Baby baby Read my lips, read my lips
Read my lips eh eh eh eh eh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

In this catchy, sex-and-culinary-inspired song from Ciara’s eponymously-titled fifth studio album, CiCi suggests to her lover that instead of going out, they stay in and make some heat of their own. She not so subtly implies that she likes it down low, and so will whoever gets a taste. They’ll definitely want seconds.
