  • I have heard three songs now that make reference to looking for a girl in the daytime with a flashlight:



    1) "Caught Up" by Usher

    2) "Promiscuous" by Nelly F and Timbaland

    3) "Poppin My Colla" by 3 Six Mafia



    What in the world does that mean?



    Can ya help a brotha out?!


  • It means there sex was just wonderful and you kinda sprung over it so you looking for them in the day time with a flash light you got me?


  • I've never heard the songs, but I would interpret the line to imply a futile search for love and hopeless overcompensation during the search. Either that, or it implies a hopeless search.


  • It means it is hard to find her

    Or as a joke she is really black


  • Hmm, id guess it menas one is stupid but who knows


  • there is also one in "U got Me" by man i forgot their names, its kinda old....oh yea, B5


  • well, if you look for something in the day time, it is most likely gonna be light out, but if you're using a flahlight, it does no good, there is already light. its a metaphor, they're trying too hard...


  • She is lost in a cave and your in there with her using your flash light to see where your going to find her.


  • It means that you are blind to what is really in front of you the whole time


  • Trying to make it too obvious? lol I don't know...


  • it means u so sprung
