NIGHTS LIKE THIS by I.O.U. (2024)

On a night like this
A drive would be nice
Into the woods we go
On a night like this
Turn the radio off
Two black cats
Crossed our path
And how we laughed

Oh, we laughed
On a night like this
Can't forget that night
On a night like this

Can't forget that night
Sometimes I wish it was all a dream

In "Nights Like This," I.O.U. talks about his luxurious lifestyle while he is with a woman who is trying to keep up with him. He sings about how he wants his nights to be different from his past experiences. He wants the lights to hit him when he walks in so everyone can see his wealth. He emphasizes the importance of keeping his affairs private and keeping those who might disrupt his timing at arm's length. He knows the woman likes him and wants him to buy her diamond and emerald jewelry but won't reveal her intentions to him. Despite that, he makes it clear that he can provide her with everything she wants.

Throughout the song, I.O.U. boasts about having money and living the life he wants. He and his friends sit at a table, feasting, while the song plays in the background. He emphasizes that he isn't choosy, but he prefers a specific type of woman. He wants a woman who can keep up with his lifestyle, and hence he desires a 'two piece.' I.O.U. drops various sexual innuendos throughout the song, talking about getting in the 'coochie' and giving the 'scooby.' However, he combines these sexual references with romantic ones, referring to his woman as someone who needs a king and how he wishes to find a queen.

Nights like this ain't like before
Tonight is different than any other night

Lights should hit when I'm in this
The lights should shine bright when I'm around

I might go off
I might lose control and go wild

Keep it silent
Keep our activities discreet and quiet

I keep it minimal private
I try to keep things between us as minimal and private as possible

So they don't mess up the timing
So that nobody interferes with our plan

I know she like it but she won't tell me the deal
I know she enjoys our relationship, but she won't talk about it

Girl I get you the diamond
I can get you what you want, such as diamonds

Emerald green it look way better on me
I look good in emerald green

I want the diamonds in peach
I want peach-colored diamonds

Take it or leave
You can accept or reject it

All of my nigg*s get free
All of my friends get free stuff

Sit on the table then feast
We sit at the table and enjoy our meal

This ain't for the weak
This is not easy, it requires strength

So this ain't what you want
This is not what you are looking for

But baby what you need cos I got what you want
You might not know it, but I have what you need

I ain't picky or choosy
I'm not difficult to please

But I prefer me a two piece
But I prefer a woman with a nice body

Stand on the money like uzi
I have a lot of money

Ima get big bank rolls
I'm going to make a lot of money

The money fill up the jacuzzi
I have so much money that I can fill up the jacuzzi with it

My baby looking like a snack
My woman looks very attractive

I can't be mad Ima give her the scooby
I can't be mad at her, I'll give her something nice

Ima give her the ruby
I'll give her a ruby (a valuable gem)

Diamonds that's fresh from the pool
Diamonds that were recently mined

Ima dig in the coochie
I want to have sex with her

I live the way I wanna live
I live my life on my terms

You know I get high off life
I enjoy life to the fullest

Adrenaline rush
I feel excited and energized

When my adrenaline pump I'm fuelled with fire
When I feel excited, I feel powerful and ready to take on anything

Keep us going it's more then you know it
Our relationship is deeper than what you might think

Girl don't lose your sight
Girl, don't forget what's important

Just tell me how you want it
Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you

Please baby don't do it
Please don't do anything foolish

Your so clueless what your like
You don't know how amazing you are

This ain't what you need
This might not be what you need

Girl what you need girl I'll provide
But I'll give you what you truly need

Tell me like who do it better
Tell me who does it better than me

I treat the box like a treasure
I treat her body like a treasure

I told you never say never
I told you to never give up

Give you the salt with the pepper
I'll give you everything

I just wanna go row and row the boat
I just want to enjoy life

Baby but can you get low and low
Can you dance and have fun?

Girl what i see you live in a dream
I see you living in a fantasy world

That's what it seems
That's how it appears

She need her a king I need a queen
She needs a strong man and I need a strong woman
