Girl, let me get this tripod, make sure that the angle’s right
Don’t know if you know your lines, so this might just take all night
Baby, get up on the bed, I’ll do all the things you like
Everything that I wanna do to you
Girl, your wardrobe is the same suit that you wore on your birthday
Baby girl, ooh, I want you, want you in the worst way
Now I’m gonna film you, I wanted to since the first date
Now I got a chance to, baby, I got plans for you
Me, you take one, cut cut
Me, you take two, cut cut
Me, you take three, same scene
It’s us in between the sheets, oh, ah
Me, you take four (Four)
From the bed down to the floor (Floor)
Baby, you so good, I feel like you deserve an award
From the way you put that thing on me, girl, it’s a dream
And I know all the things to do
So, baby, we can make a film, watch it over and over again
And I will play the lead to you (I’ll play the lead to you)
We’ll make a movie, movie
You’ll play the starring role and I’ll direct you on where to go
We’ll make a movie, movie
Up and down and ’round and ’round, baby
Just you follow, I’ll show you what to do
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh
We’ll make a movie and I’ll let you do me, do me, oh
Baby, let’s do role play, I can be anything you like
Use your imagination, now just gon’ and close your eyes
Puedo ser tú corazón (Yes), y tal vez tú profesor (Yes)
I can be your doctor (Yes), girl, bet I make it better
Me, you take one, cut cut
Me, you take two, cut cut
Me, you take three, same scene
It’s us in between the sheets, oh ah
Me, you take four (Four)
From the bed down to the floor (Floor)
Baby, you so good, I feel like you deserve an award
From the way you put that thing on me, girl, it’s a dream
And I know all the things to do
So, baby, we can make a film, watch it over and over again
And I can play the lead to you (I’ll play the lead to you)
We’ll make a movie, movie
You’ll play the starring role and I’ll direct you on where to go
We’ll make a movie, movie
Up and down and ’round and ’round, baby
Just you follow, I’ll show you what to do
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh (Yeah)
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh (Oh-oh)
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh (Yeah)
We’ll make a movie and I’ll let you do me, do me, oh
The award for the best love scene in a movie, movie (Movie)
Goes out to you, oh-oh
Girl, you’re the best really and truly, truly
For the things that you do, oh-oh
We’ll make a movie, movie (Whoa)
You’ll play the starring role and I’ll direct you on where to go
We’ll make a movie, movie (Whoa)
Up and down and ’round and ’round, baby
Just you follow, I’ll show you what to do
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh (Whoa)
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh
We’ll make a movie, movie, oh (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
We’ll make a movie and I’ll let you do me, do me, oh (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Behind the Scenes: Intimacy as Art
“Movie” by Chris Brown turns the bedroom into a film set, using cinematic metaphors to describe an intimate relationship. The lyrics are playful and vivid, casting the lovers as lead actors and the room as their stage. Brown’s references to tripods, takes, and awards cleverly transform a private experience into a Hollywood production, suggesting that true connection is worthy of its own spotlight. The repetition of “we’ll make a movie” emphasizes not just the act itself, but the collaborative nature of love, with each partner taking on both starring and directing roles.
Role Play and Fantasy
The song delves into themes of fantasy and role play, inviting the listener to embrace creativity and spontaneity. Whether it’s trying on different personas or reenacting favorite scenes, Brown encourages the idea that romance thrives when partners are willing to explore and perform for each other. The playful tone and mix of English and Spanish lines add to the song’s seductive, adventurous vibe.
