About Into You

"Into You" is the third single by American rapper Fabolous from his second studio album Street Dreams. It is also on Tamia's album More. It reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the second single from the album to reach the top 10 after top 10 single, "Can't Let You Go". The song stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart throughout 2003, and finished at number 23. "Into You" is based on Tamia's 1998 single "So Into You", produced by Tim & Bob and samples the Commodores' song "Say Yeah", as it was originally sampled on the original Tamia song. While Ashanti provided vocals for the original version of the song, the commercial version (radio edit) sees a reworked version with Tamia as the featured artist for the single release. A version of the song with Ashanti's vocals appears on the Street Dreams album.

I think you're truly something special (oh)
Just what my dream are really made of (dreams are really made of)
Let's stay together you and me boy (oh)
There's no one like you around, oh baby

(Uh) oh, uh baby girl (I wanna love you, yeah yeah)
Uh, uh, (ooh)
Desert Storm, uh (oh woah)
Uh, uh huh, uh, uh huh, uh (oh)
Yeah, yeah, oh, uh (oh)

I can't really explain it
I'm so into you now, I wanna be more than a friend of you now
When they ask, I mention my baby girl in the interviews now
And I don't bring the problems from the 90's into 2 thou'
There's no reason to have a friend or two now
'Cause the kid's ready to tell you how he feel in a few vow's
Maybe, I'm speaking general now
But girl I'mma do whatever just to keep a grin on you now
Where I go, they wear bikini's in the winter too now
What you think about, tan lines on the skin of you now
Why wouldn't I wanna spend a few thou'
On 5th Ave shopping spree's, and them dinners to Chow's
I ain't concerned what other men would do now
As long as when I slide up in you, you growl
And any dude with you, he better be a kin of you now
And I ain't jealous it's the principle now, I'm so into you

I really like
What you've, done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm, so into you

I really like
What you've, done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm, so into you

Come on ma, it's more than a flashin'
I woulda traded it all, in orderly fashion
My villa in Florida we crashin'
Just off the shore, so you can hear when water be splashin'
The drop top three and a quarter we dashin'
The flawless diamonds, and the border we flashin'
The money, we oughta be stashin'
I make sure every quarter be cashed in, I can't really explain it
My friend be thinkin' I'm slippin', these girls be thinkin' I'm trippin'
What kinda weed he be smokin', what type of drinks he be sippin'
Sweet thing, just to think of you dippin'
Would have me with the blue's so hard, you would think I was crippin'
Now, you relaxin' in the Benz, credit cards with no limits
So you don't worry about maxin' when you spend
Ever since you've been askin' 'bout the friends
How'd you like it if, both our name's had Jackson on the ends, uh

I really like (I really like)
What you've, done to me
I can't really explain it (I can't explain)
I'm, so into you (so into you)

I, really like
What you've, done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm, so into you

I don't wanna trip, but truth is
Girl the way you cook a steak, remind me of those strips in Ruth Chris
You love my smile, no matter how chipped my tooth is
With you, it ain't because my whips is roofless
Or sit on chrome dipped dub deuces
And you ain't flattered by Canary envy es dipped Jesus'
Other ballers look dumb when they press you, five and sixes
You don't let them kinda numbers impress you
Even though I was somewhat successful
Bein' a player was becoming too stressful
But every since, the superwoman has come to my rescue
My winter's been wonderful, my summer's been special
Let's fly to St. Barts, while the villa be painted
Just so we can get really acquainted (really acquainted)
The love is real, there's no way it could feel like it's tainted
But I can't really explain it, uh, yeah

I really like
What you've, done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm, so into you

I really like
What you've, done to me
I can't really explain it (can't explain it)
I'm, so into you

I really like (ooh, ooh)
What I feel, when I'm with you (with you)
You're a dream come true (you're, oh yeah, yeah)
Don't you ever leave my side (ever leave my side, oh no)
'Cause it feel so right (oh baby, oh I)

I, really like
What you've, done to me (boy, you)
I can't really explain it (oh I can't explain it)
I'm so into you (I'm so into you baby)

I really like
What you've, done to me (you've done to me)
I can't really explain it (look what you've done to me)
I'm so into you (oh, I really like)
