Bonita Applebum Lyrics
Intro: Q-Tip
Do I love you?
Do I lust for you?
Am I a sinner cuz I do the two?
Could you let me know
Right now, please
Bonita Applebum
Chorus:
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on (repeat 4X)
Q-Tip:
(pause between every verse)
Hey Bonita, glad to meet ya
For the kind of stunning newness, I must have foreseen ya
Hey, being with you is a top priority
Ain't no need to question the authority
Chairman of the board, the chief of affections
You got mine's to swing in your direction
Hey, you're like a hip hop song, you know?
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Chorus
38-24-37 (uh, uh, uh!)
You and me, hun, we're a match made in heaven
I like to kiss ya where some brothas won't
I like to tell ya things some brothas don't
If only you could see through your elaborate eyes
Only you and me, hun, the love never dies
Satisfaction, I have the right tactics
And if you need 'em, I got crazy prophylactics
So far, I hope you like rap songs
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Chorus
i looooooooooooooove this SONG
I love this song!!! it was so ghetto-90's love!!! I even remember the video!!! This song is straight-up love, straight from a male's point'-of-view. (I mean, how often do you get that? That's beauty right there!) It as the sweet, human infactuation-type s--t... and this song will always get me. (You ever wondered where the Fugees got the beat for "Killin' Me Softly remake.... right here.)
i loved this song growing up, and i used to sing a long with the line "And if you need 'em, I got crazy prophylactics" until my dad told me that prophylactics are condoms....still a chill song tho.
the song is pretty self explanatory can't believe no one has commented this song is hot just like every other one of the album
I used to think it was "Renita Applebaum" that the guy was in love with a JAP! (well wasn't Hendrix at one point?) Just the viewpoint of The Tribe. LOL
So what does this song mean?
I just heard this on the radio and I can't understand why "prophylactics" was edited out. Why are we censoring safe sex practices but it's okay to play songs about sex with strippers and skeeting on them in a club?
