About This Track

'Flashback' by Kelis is an R&B/Soul track from the album 'Tasty', released in 2003. The lyrics cast a vivid, sunlit memory of last summer, with a bored walk that turns into an encounter at the corner store, where a passing figure sparks immediate, physical excitement. In one line, the narrator sums it up with the snap of feeling: "I swear I got butterflies". The song leans into youthful impatience, small-town streets, and the quick shift from routine to fluttering attraction.

Flashback

Flashbacks of the last summer
It was hot and I was bored
I took a walk to the corner store
I was at the counter
And that's when you walked by
Holding your st. ides
You just brushed right by my side
I swear I got butterflies
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
You make me come alive
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Oh shit, there you go again
Speaking can't be a sin
So I fingered you over
Caesar n' tattooed shoulders
Girls know your name badly
But to me you're my daddy
Though you only shook my hand
Could have sworn you held me
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Ooh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
You make me come alive
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Oh you make my body go
I'm so blessed I found you
You make all my days brand new
Late at night you call my name
And early in the morning
The thought of sex is soaring
Like a plane
I'm so blessed I found you
You make all my days brand new
Late at night you call my name
And early in the morning
The thought of sex is soaring
Like a plane
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Ooh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
You make me come alive
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
You make me come oh yeah alive
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
Oh you make my body go
Oh you make my body go
Oh you make my body go
Yeah yeah
Oh you make my body go
