What’s up with you? What you doin’ tonight?
Said I hope it’s me tonight, then I book you a flight
Oh, what a night, sleepover like it’s junior high
We gettin’ high, high ceilin’s lookin’ at your life
Rain, snow, or shine, she there every time
Hit you with that nonchalant “I’m fine,” crazy sex drive
Left you feelin’ right, middle of the night
Midnight, do ya like semi-pics? Triple X
Baby, know it’s on sight, so
Tell me how to get there
Send me your address
Tell me how to get there
Started with a text message
Ended up with sex, yes, it’s true
I wanna be on you
Started with a text message
Ended up with sex, yes, it’s true
I wanna be on you
LOL, smiley face, the emoji with the tongue out
Now I’m kissin’ you, touchin’ you, freakin’ you over at your house
Girl, we started on the floor, now we face-to-face (Face-to-face)
Start a little slow, now pick up the pace (Pick up the pace)
Everything I told you I was gonna do (Gonna do)
I did it well, accept it, we ain’t get to drink (Get to drink)
Your body, I want it until the mornin’
I can’t lie, for you, I’m a love-a-holic
Tell me how to get there
And already be undressed
Just tell me how to get there
It started with a text message (Text message)
Ended up with sex, yes, it’s true (Oh, babe)
I wanna be on you (Be on you)
Started with a text message (Message)
Ended up with sex, yes, it’s true (True)
I wanna be on you
LOL, smiley face, the emoji with the tongue out
Now I’m kissin’ you, touchin’ you, freakin’ you over at your house
It started with my phone
And then we got to, to the point where I can’t even leave you alone
It’s crazy right?
Every day I shuffle, you my ace of spades
I try to keep you in the deck, but you never stay
No FaceTime, bae, she just want me face-to-face
Put you on lock, now you got keys to the place
I was really fuckin’ with you, told myself not to get attached
There goes that and all them other girls I had, that’s a wrap
I ain’t mad, one of you was worth a million them
I’m a millionaire, never leave and can’t believe it all
Started with a text message
Ended up with sex, yes, it’s true
I wanna be on you
Started with a text message
Ended up with sex, yes, it’s true
I wanna be on you
LOL, smiley face, the emoji with the tongue out
Now I’m kissin’ you, touchin’ you, freakin’ you over at your house
Modern Love and Digital Connections
“Text Message” by Chris Brown explores the evolution of modern romance, highlighting how intimate relationships can blossom from something as simple as a text. The lyrics detail a playful and passionate exchange, where flirtatious messages quickly escalate to an in-person rendezvous. Brown uses relatable digital language—emojis, late-night texts, and casual invitations—to paint a vivid picture of two people drawn together by chemistry and desire. The song captures the thrill of anticipation, the excitement of a new connection, and the blurred boundaries between digital and physical intimacy.
From Flirtation to Flame
Throughout the track, Brown cleverly intertwines humor, vulnerability, and raw sensuality. The recurring motif of starting with a text and ending up together emphasizes how technology can bridge emotional and physical gaps, transforming fleeting moments into lasting memories. The lyrics also hint at emotional risks and the unpredictability of falling for someone unexpectedly, giving the song a relatable and heartfelt undertone.
