The chorus is a sensual confession of a sexually
excited lady [Lily Allen], rendering an invitation
for sex in sly and guileful manner
…And I pretended I was sleeping
and I was hoping you would creep in
to a lover that at the time was too distracted
…and these females got me stalling
to hid her cravings but all this tend to be
prompted at a specific time,5’O CLOCK IN
THE MORNING.The verses definitely have a
story to it.They tell a story of a distracted
lover [T-pain] who either had his priorities
misplaced in respect to his romantic obligations
…And this Nuvo got me tripping
or taking the invitation of his lady for granted
…we do this every night,
and then we always wake up singing the same song
Hence, there is a prompted need to have a more
appreciative substitute lover [Wiz Khalifa] who
happens to have been fronted with the same
advances as the original lover
Too many thirsty girls up in this club
for me to leave here with one of them
but still manages to get his priorities straight and put this lady first
…that’s why I call her
to have her sexual need attended to.
The other guy is clearly more passionate and endered to
the lady than her actual lover.
In closure, this is a story of the wrong person being the right
option and doing the right things at a specific time,
5’O clock hereby symbolises the start of a
romantic “Quality time”
