Hol’ up
Oh, it’s 2:30 AM, yeah, I said I know (I know)
All that’s on my mind when I’m all alone
Comin’ home to you (To you)
All I wanna do (I do)
Is lay up with you, babe
No, no, no, babe
Wait, slow it down, down
I need you right now, now
I’m doin’ like 105 (Woo)
So baby, keep the door unlocked (Woo)
Wait, slow it down, down (Yeah)
You know I know every spot
Makin’ sure I drive you ready
Ride me all night, night
Make you feel so good
If I swing by, swing by
All the things we would do
Baby, won’t you let me swing by?
Got me on this 3-AM drive
Wanna be with you all night
So I pull up like skrrt, I pull up like skrrt (I pull up like skrrt)
Pull up like skrrt, oh yeah-yeah
Got me on this 3-AM drive, hey-hey-hey
Got me on this 3-AM drive
I pull up like skrrt
Take off my shirt, lift up her skirt
Then I go on down
It’s what you prefer, it’s what you deserve, yeah
Ooh, you hotter than summer
Screams louder than the thunder
Stamina like a marathon runner, yeah, yeah
Said you need a real one, real one
Well, you got a real one, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rev the engine up
Baby, make you growl
Once I pull up, once I pull up
You know what’s up
Can’t get enough, not gassin’ you up
Baby, I’ma let you drive, drive
Make you feel so good
If I swing by, swing by
All the things we would do (Ooh)
Baby, won’t you let me swing by?
Got me on this 3-AM drive (Up all night)
Wanna be with you all night (You)
So I pull up like skrrt, I pull up like skrrt (Yeah)
Pull up like skrrt, oh yeah-yeah (Ow!)
Girl, you know I put you first
Been through the worst
Hurt your feelings
Now I’ma listen, I’ma let it sink in
And the Lord as my witness, I’ma start facin’ my fears
With this heartbreak, yeah
Oh, no
Never thought, never thought I’ll ever grow, oh-oh-oh
And I love it when you give it to me, nice and slow
Already said I’m sorry, said my bad
And it troubles me not to think about the past
Baby, won’t you let me swing by?
Got me on this 3-AM drive
Wanna be with you all night (You)
So I pull up like skrrt, I pull up like skrrt (I pull up like skrrt)
Pull up like skrrt, oh yeah-yeah
Late-Night Desires and Vulnerability
Chris Brown’s “3AM” captures the raw emotion of longing and late-night connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a restless drive, fueled by the desire to reunite with a lover in the quiet hours of the night. Brown uses car metaphors and evocative imagery—”pull up like skrrt,” “rev the engine up”—to mirror the urgency and excitement of his feelings. Amidst the sensual undertones, there’s a deeper layer of vulnerability as he promises to put his partner first and confront his past mistakes. This blend of passion and introspection gives the song its relatable, heartfelt edge.
