Michelle gave fans a word-for-word breakdown of her verse from “Cater 2 U” — reminding everyone to respect the art and the meaning behind her words.
“”Y’all have been butchering the lyrics of my bridge to Cater To You for years and i’m sick of it,” Michelle wrote on social media alongside a laughing emoji.
Fans have been loving the throwback but Michelle’s insistence on lyric accuracy has sparked laughs and appreciation for her attention to detail and love for her craft.
📜 The Verse in Question
The 2004 hit “Cater 2 U” showcased Michelle’s silky vocals and heartfelt delivery as she sang about devotion and care in a relationship — a verse that many have tried to mimic but, as Michelle points out, often miss the mark.
Michelle took the time to type out the lyrics to eliminate all confusion for fans. “I wanna give my breath, my strength, my will to you that’s the least I can do. Let me cater to you through the good, the bad, the ups and the downs I’ll still be here for you. Let me cater to you ‘cuz you’re beautiful. I love the way you are, fulfill your every desire, your wish is my command. I wanna cater to my man. Your heart, so pure your love shines through the darkness we’ll get through. So much of me is you. I wanna caterrrrrrrrrr to my man!”
Her passion for the lyrics speaks volumes about how much she values the song and the message it carries.
