Work It
Drenched Devotion: Jeffrey Osborne's Rainy Romance Revelations
Lyrics
Out here in the pouring rain girl
Expressing determination despite adverse conditions.
I’m right outside your door baby
Proximity and eagerness to connect.
Nothing’s keeping me away...no
Commitment to being present.
I’ll fight through any storm for ya
Willingness to overcome obstacles for the person.
Hey my clothes are soaking wet
Indicating discomfort or inconvenience.
Gonna throw ’em on your floor baby
Intimacy and disregarding personal conditions.
Oh and that’s alright with me yeah
Acceptance of circumstances due to affection.
How lucky can a grown man be?
Expressing gratitude or amazement at the situation.
Chorus
Start of the chorus.
I like the way you work it
Appreciation for the person's actions or behavior.
Like the way you work it
Reiteration of admiration for their actions.
’Cause you’re so damn good
Expressing high praise or admiration.
I wanna say you’re perfect
Desire to express perfection in the person.
I like the way you work it
Repeated admiration for their actions.
Like the way you work it
Reiteration of appreciation for their actions.
Girl you’re hearing it from me now
Emphasizing the direct expression of admiration.
I wanna say you’re perfect
Desire to emphasize perfection in the person.
Oh I’m out here ringing your bell
Continued effort to connect and meet the person.
And you know what I’m coming for
Stating the purpose of the visit.
So hurry up baby right now
Urgency to meet and interact immediately.
Open that door
Direct request to open the door.
Rap
Transition to rap section.
Callin’ I’m trying to reach you
Attempt to establish contact.
Hauling ass down the freeway and girl I’m dying to meet you
Expressing urgency and eagerness to meet.
Back at your spot so we can start doing our grown thang
Desire to engage in adult activities.
C’mon pick up now I know you’re hearing the phone ring
Assumption of the person's awareness of the call.
Last week I was sittin’ out in the pouring rain
Recalling a previous instance of waiting in unfavorable conditions.
Waitin’ for hours while cravin’ all of your sweets it started making me sour but
Feeling impatient and longing for the person.
The way that you work it is so great
Admiration for the person's actions despite difficulties.
I don’t care girl it’s well worth the wait
Emphasizing the value of waiting for the person.
I sent a text I just parked on your street
Notification of arrival at the person's location.
Got no response I just hope you ain’t asleep
Hope for a response or acknowledgment.
Oh there you go
Acknowledgment of the person's awareness.
Now you know
Confirmation of feelings toward the person.
How I feel about ’cha
Reiteration of affection or admiration.
