Tadow Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeeah, ooh, yeh
Ayy, ayy, ayy, oh, ahh
Ayy, ayy, ahh, ahh
Tadow
Ayy, ayy, ay, oh, ahh
Ayy, ayy, ahh, ahh
Tadow

[Verse 1]
I saw her and she hit me like (Tadow)
Saw that thing so beautiful (Tadow)
She just hit my heart, oh (Tadow)
Full force and she got me like (Tadow)

[Pre-Chorus]
I be like (Tadow) Baby (Tadow)
Why you so fine? (Tadow, tadow)
Gotta make you mine (Tadow, tadow)
So hard to find (Tadow, tadow)

[Verse 2]
Baby like oh, how'd you do the thing?
The way that you do it and she ain't even show, nothing
She be walking round so confident, so heaven-sent
[Chorus]
I think she was meant to knock 'em dead like (Tadow, tadow)
Like (Tadow, tadow)
Girl you so fine (Tadow) Ooh (Tadow, tadow)
Girl you acting like oh (Tadow, tadow)
Baby so fine (Tadow, tadow)
Mrs. Lady (Tadow, tadow) Girl you knock 'em dead (Tadow, tadow)
Ohh yeah

[Verse 3]
She was so sublime, super fine
She was never lying
Strutting in her heels, or her slides, either way
Eyes on her every single day, week, year
Everyone wondering how she does it with no fear
All that confidence was it heaven-sent?
Does it come within?
Does it come run out? I don't know
She'll just have 'em runnin' out and in
Man they want to sin, talking deadly sin
With Mrs. lady, I don't understand
Why she hit 'em like (Tadow, tadow)

[Chorus]
Yeah, like (Tadow, tadow)
Girl you knock 'em dead (Tadow, tadow) Ooh (Tadow)
How you do it like you do it (Tadow, tadow)
Yeah yeah (Tadow, tadow)
Baby you knock 'em dead (Tadow, tadow)
I love you so Baby (Tadow)
Yeah yeah, Ohh
[Outro]
Tadow
Tadow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

FKJ and Masego were in the studio messing around one day. They were making a beat and FKJ told Masego to hold up and they immediately started recording. The entire song was improvised (saxophone, beat, lyrics, bass).

Masego took to twitter to reveal that the origination of “Tadow” comes from an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Will Smith uses ‘Tadow’ to tell Uncle Phil that he slept with Janice.
