I turn my camera on
I cut my fingers on the way
On the way, the way I'm slipping away
I turn my feelings off
Y'made me untouchable for life
Yeah, yeah and you wasn't polite

It hit me like a tom
You hit me like a tom
On, on, and on

Ooh yeah
When I turn my feelings on
I turn my feelings on inside
Yeah, feel like I'm gonna ignite
I saw them stars go off
I saw them stars go off at night
Ooh yeah, and they're looking alright

Keep on blowin up
Keep on blowin em off
Get up roll it out
Keep on showin em out

Y'hit me like a tom
It hit me like a tom
On and on a tom

I turn my camera on
I cut my fingers on the way
On the way, on the way
I feel me slippin away
I wipe my feelings off
Y'made me untouchable for life
(Keep on rolling on)
Ooh yeah and you wasn't polite

Y'hit me like a tom
I don't know where it's from
It hit me like a tom-tom

Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, I turned my camera on
Ooh yeah, I turned my camera on
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
I turned my camera on (hit me like a tom)
I turned my camera on (hit me like a tom)
I turned my camera on (hit me like a tom)
I turned my camera on

Feel this slip away

    My Interpretation

    Hey everyone,

    Hope you are having a good day.

    So my interpretation of the song is a woman with massive sex appeal that he is interested in but also apprehensive of. The driving bass line of the song has a red light district-y (Is that a word? lol; in other words, sexy) feel to it. My assumption is he is being drawn in by this woman ('cut my fingers on the way' can be symbolic of being 'green' or trying something new for the first time). More clues as to the lascivious, outgoingly sexy nature of the woman-- "You hit me like a tom" "You wasnt polite". Plus, the camera imagery kinda speaks for itself. During the course of the song his "untouchable" feelings (You cant hurt me , if I dont let you-esque, reserved, observant) turns to "I turn my feelings on inside, I feel myself ignite"

    All in all sexy, fun and a little dirty in a voyeur kinda way.

    Just one woman's thoughts though.
