Long Way 2 Go ft. Ryan Leslie Lyrics

Verse 1:
I love it when they try to get intimate
Even though they know I really ain’t into it

[Ryan Leslie](You're not into it?)

I'm not into it
I already know the game and I've been through it
See I buy my own bags, my boots, my jeans
Well I rock with my Rebel yell underneath
You wanna step to me?
Says you gotta' long way 2 go
Rock wit me now

Hook:
You Claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to front when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
Cuz' you know you're girlfriend wanna be me (uh)
I'ma tell you why you can't
Said you gotta long way 2 go
Say you wanna love me?

Chorus:
Wanna love me?
Wanna touch me?
Think twice cuz' you gotta long way 2 go
Don't know how to act
You better' fall back
It's like that cuz you gotta long way 2 go
It's not that deep
Take it easy
You wanna please me?
You got a long way 2 go
I'ma bad girl
You wanna get close?
Ease up cuz you gotta a long way

Verse 2: I love it when they try to get scandalous
Even though they know they really can't handle it

[Ryan Leslie](They can't handle it?)

They can't handle it
Try and take me out to dinner I cancel it
If you really wanna know me first of all
You should never try to get to personal
Cuz' I meant it when I said
That you gotta long way to go yeh uh

Chorus:
Wanna love me?
Wanna touch me?
Think twice cuz' you gotta long way 2 go
Don't know how to act
You better' fall back
It's like that cuz you gotta long way 2 go
It's not that deep
Take it easy
You wanna please me?
Got a long way 2 go
I'ma bad girl
You wanna get close?
Ease up cuz you gotta a long way

Bridge:
You Claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to front when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
Cuz' you know you're girlfriend wanna be me uh yeh
Said you gotta' long way to go
Say You Wanna love me?

Chorus:
Wanna Love Me
Wanna touch me?
Think twice cuz' you gotta long way 2 go
Don't know how to act
You better' fall back
It's like that cuz you gotta long way 2 go
It's not that deep
Take it easy
You wanna please me?
Gotta long way 2 go
I'ma bad girl
You wanna get close?
Ease up cuz you gotta a long way 2 go.

Chorus:
Wanna love me
Wanna touch me
Think twice coz u gotta a long way 2 go
Don't know how to act
You better' fall back
It's like that cuz you gotta long way 2 go
It's not that deep
Take it easy
You wanna please me?
You got a long way 2 go
You said you gotta long way to go
Rock wit me now

Gotta long way to go
Uh
Yeh
Uh
Better fall back
Says you gotta long way to go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think Cassie's MV explains the meaning of this song pretty well. This song's about meeting someone that you've seen on the internet (dating sites/myspace/etc) in the clubs on night.

You get them friend requests promoting themselves, claiming that they're "so hot" and yadeya. But you know that they're only trying to font behind their computer screen names. Then you meet them one night at the clubs and they take their chance to crack onto you thinking that they can handle you. In this song, Cassie's rejecting the sleazy/obsessed guy saying that she's too good for him and that he's "got a long way to go" in life and status before he's good enough to approach her.
