Lyrics
I know you want me now
I am aware of your current desire for me
Put my head under cover
Seeking privacy or intimacy by putting my head under cover
Put my head under cover
Repetition for emphasis on the desire for intimacy
You like me undercover
You prefer our connection to be discreet or secretive
And I like it when you invite me
I enjoy it when you invite me into your world
And put me under your river
Suggestive of being submerged in a deep emotional experience
Swimming swimming your river
Actively participating or indulging in the emotions of the relationship
Falling down down your river
Falling deeper into the emotional dynamics of the relationship
She don't want me loving nobody nobody nobody
Emphasizes that the partner does not want the singer to love anyone else
And I don't want my baby next to nobody nobody nobody
Expressing the singer's desire for exclusivity with their baby
She don't want me loving nobody nobody nobody
Reiteration of the partner's reluctance to have the singer love others
And I don't want my baby next to nobody nobody nobody
Reiterating the singer's commitment to exclusivity with their baby
Nobody
Emphasizing the exclusivity desired, using "nobody"
I know you want me right now
Acknowledging the partner's current desire for the singer
Make her come greet you father
Suggesting introducing the partner to the singer's family
Make her come meet your mother
Extending the relationship to meet the singer's mother
She say I'll be your forever
The partner expresses a commitment to a long-term relationship
What's love got to do with this
Raising a question about the relevance of love in the situation
Can we just have some fun
Proposing to focus on enjoyment and fun rather than love
Let's take it easy oh easy oh
Suggesting taking it easy and enjoying the relationship without pressure
She don't want me loving nobody nobody nobody
Reiteration of the partner's aversion to the singer loving others
And I don't want my baby next to nobody nobody nobody
Reiteration of the singer's desire for exclusivity with their baby
She don't want me loving nobody nobody nobody
Repetition of the partner's reluctance to have the singer love others
And I don't want my baby next to nobody nobody nobody
Reiteration of the singer's commitment to exclusivity with their baby
Nobody
Emphasizing the exclusivity desired, using "nobody"
Nobody nobody nobody
Further emphasis on the desire for exclusivity
The way you love me swear I don't want nobody
The intense love received makes the singer reluctant to be with anyone else
Nobody nobody nobody
Reiteration of the singer's reluctance to be with anyone else
