Lyrics
What kind of cologne are you wearing?
Inquiring about the specific cologne someone is wearing
I could smell it on the way home, yeah
Notices the scent on the way home
What kind of cologne are you wearing?
Repeats the question, emphasizing curiosity about the cologne
Smells so good that I'm writing this song
Expressing that the cologne smells so good, it inspired the song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
Continued repetition of the question, highlighting the significance
What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne? I need to know, yeah
Expressing urgency in knowing the type of cologne
Baby, I can smell your cologne from across the room (room)
Claims the ability to smell the cologne from a distance
But I know it ain't Axe
Specifying that it is not a common brand like Axe
And this is something that I don't usually do (do)
Admits unusual behavior of asking about the cologne
But I had to ask
-What are you wearing?
Reiterates the question about the cologne
'Cause I ain't never smelled nothing like that before
Expresses fascination with the unique scent
I smelled that shh when you hit the door
Recalls smelling the cologne upon the person's arrival and wanting more
And now it's got me wanting more, yeah
-I know it ain't Dior
Eliminates possibilities of known cologne brands, but expresses captivation
Know it ain't Baccarat
-I know it ain't Versace ('Sace)
-But whatever it is, you got me
-I just want to know
Reiterates the desire to know the specific cologne
What kind of cologne are you wearing?
Repeats the central theme of wanting to know about the cologne
(What kind of cologne are you wearing?)
-I could smell it on the way home, yeah (yeah)
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-(What kind of cologne are you wearing?)
-Smells so good that I'm writing this song
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
Continued repetition of the question, reinforcing the curiosity
What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne are you wearing?
-What kind of cologne? I need to know, yeah
-(What kind of cologne are you wearing?)
