I know exactly what you like and, baby, I’m about to take it down
You say you want me, is that right? I think it’s best we get up out here now
Because I saw you in that dress, they can’t handle this
Speeding while I’m tryna steer
You kissing on my neck, I’m feeling on your leg
That yellow light ain’t stopping now, oh yeah
Girl, I ain’t gotta waste the night with you, babe
We doing ninety-five in a thirty-five, baby, you know what to do
We gon’ run some red lights (Yeah)
And you know there ain’t no stopping even when we get home (Yeah)
Girl, we gon’ run some red lights (Yeah)
Push the pedal to the metal, screaming, “Fuck the Five-O” (Five-O)
And, girl, you know it’s key push to start, sex in a car for hours
Your body parts under your hood, it’s power, babe
And I ain’t even tryna gas you up
And we gon’ run some red lights
Yeah, backseat, ghost ride and whip
Hold on, it’s gon’ take long, enjoy this trip
Girl, you got that new car, that new car smell
But we gon’ give this new car a new car smell
Yeah, revving my engine you turning me on
Yeah, shifting your gears, I love how you moan (Yeah)
Love how you moan (Yeah), love how you moan
It was so good that I had to go back for a second so I could just relive the moment
I ain’t gotta waste the night with you, baby
We doing ninety-five in a thirty-five, baby, you know what to do
Baby, we gon’
We gon’ run some red lights (Yeah)
And you know there ain’t no stopping even when we get home (Yeah, oh)
Girl, we gon’ run some red lights (Yeah)
Push the pedal to the metal, screaming, “Fuck the Five-O” (Oh yeah, Five-O)
And, girl, you know it’s key push to start (Oh), sex in a car for hours
Your body parts under your hood, it’s power, babe
And I ain’t even tryna gas you up (Oh yeah)
And we gon’ run some red lights (Woo)
Red lights, all night, baby, yeah
And we gon’ take a midnight sex drive
Don’t think you heard what I said
Fuck every red light
Red lights, all night, baby
Fuck every red light
Midnight sex drive
Don’t think you heard what I said
Fuck every red light
(We gon’)
We gon’ run some red lights (Yeah)
And you know there ain’t no stopping even when we get home (Yeah)
Girl, we gon’ run some red lights (Yeah)
Push the pedal to the metal (Oh), screaming, “Fuck the Five-O” (Five-O)
And, girl, you know it’s key push to start, sex in a car for hours
Your body parts under your hood, it’s power, babe
And I ain’t even tryna gas you up
And we gon’ run some red lights
Red lights, all night, baby, yeah
And we gon’ take a midnight sex drive
Don’t think you heard what I said
Fuck every red light
Red lights, all night, baby
Midnight sex drive
Pushing Boundaries: A Night of Thrill
“Red Lights” by Chris Brown is an electrifying ode to passion and rebellion. The lyrics are charged with themes of desire and spontaneity, using the metaphor of running red lights to symbolize breaking rules for the sake of love and excitement. The song paints a vivid picture of two lovers escaping into the night, letting adrenaline and attraction take the wheel. Chris Brown cleverly intertwines automotive imagery with intimacy, likening the rush of speeding and ignoring boundaries to the heady intensity of a late-night rendezvous. The recurring motif of defying stop signals represents a willingness to let go of restraint and embrace the moment, no matter the consequences.
