Diggin' on You
TLC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a Sunday afternoon
You were there so was I
In the park 4th of July
I was chillin' with my Kool-Aid
When Miss Chilli came to relay
That you had a thing for me
Finest thing you'd ever seen
I must admit to you
I've heard them lines a time or two
Although for some apparent reason
Monkey lines are now in season
Lights off, lights on
I guess the groove is on so I am
Diggin' the scene
Diggin' on you
Diggin' on me
Baby bay-oh-baby baby
It's on like that
It's on like that
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that
I was like deep in a cool
What'nt gone be nobody's fool
Could not care less who was there
Could've been like anywhere
I was chillin' with my Kool-Aid
Did not want to par-ti-ci-pate
In no silly conversations
Had no time for new relation-ships
I must admit to you
When I heard the lines you threw
Although it usually turns me off
But this time you have turned me on
Lights off, Lights on
I guess the groove is on and I am
Diggin' the scene
Diggin' on you
Diggin' on me
Baby bay-oh-baby baby
It's on like that
It's on like that
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that
Oh why do I feel the way I do
When all I can think about is you
What was it in a line
That made me fall for you
Do you know
Why I'm diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you
Diggin' the scene
Diggin' on you
Diggin' on me
Baby bay-oh-baby baby
It's on like that
It's on like that
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that
Diggin' on you
It's on like that
Diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you
Diggin' the scene
Diggin' on you
Diggin' on me
Baby bay-oh-baby baby
It's on like that
It's on like that
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that
The lyrics of "Digginβ on You" by TLC describe two people who are into each other and enjoying each otherβs company. The song tells a story of how the two individuals met on the fourth of July in the park. The singer was relaxing with their Kool-Aid when Chilli came over to tell them that the other person had their eyes on them. The singer explains they have heard pick-up lines before but for some reason, the lines from the other person had an effect on them. They describe feeling the groove and enjoying each other's company, mentioning "lights off, lights on" indicating they may have taken the relationship to another level. The chorus affirms their feelings for each other, describing how they are "digginβ on you" and "digginβ on me."
The second verse describes how the singer was not looking for anything serious but the other person's words changed their mind. The chorus repeats, affirming their love for each other. The bridge questions what it was that made the singer fall for the other person, and whether they know what it was. The song ends with the chorus repeating again.
Line by Line Meaning
I was like peace in a groove
I was feeling relaxed and content in my surroundings
On a Sunday afternoon
In a casual and carefree way
You were there so was I
We were both present at the same place and time
In the park 4th of July
At a public outdoor gathering on Independence Day
I was chillin' with my Kool-Aid
I was enjoying a refreshing drink
When Miss Chilli came to relay
When my friend Chilli came to communicate
That you had a thing for me
That you were romantically interested in me
Finest thing you'd ever seen
That I was the most attractive person you had ever laid eyes on
I must admit to you
I confess to you
I've heard them lines a time or two
I have heard similar pick-up lines before
Although for some apparent reason
Even though I should know better
Monkey lines are now in season
Silly and unoriginal pickup lines seem to be common now
Lights off, lights on
I'm ready for intimacy
I guess the groove is on so I am
I am feeling the mood of the moment
Diggin' the scene
Enjoying the atmosphere
Diggin' on you
Attracted to you
Diggin' on me
Feeling good about myself
Baby bay-oh-baby baby
Affectionate expression
It's on like that
I am ready and willing
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that
I am experiencing strong feelings of attraction
I was like deep in a cool
I was feeling calm and collected
What'nt gone be nobody's fool
I was not going to be taken advantage of
Could not care less who was there
I was not concerned about others' opinions
Could've been like anywhere
The location was not important to me
Did not want to par-ti-ci-pate
I did not want to engage in pointless conversation
In no silly conversations
I did not want to engage in pointless conversation
Had no time for new relation-ships
I was not looking for a new romantic partner
When I heard the lines you threw
When I listened to your pickup lines
Although it usually turns me off
Pickup lines often do not work on me
But this time you have turned me on
This time, you succeeded in making me feel attracted to you
Oh why do I feel the way I do
I am unsure why I am feeling so strongly
When all I can think about is you
My thoughts are consumed by you
What was it in a line
What did you say that made me feel this way
That made me fall for you
That made me become romantically interested in you
Do you know
Can you explain it to me
Diggin' on you
Feeling attracted to you
It's on like that
I am ready and willing

These three never outshone each other and that's what I loved about them.Β
@greglewin1968
tremaine861 the song plus that exact same reason is why they are my #1 Favorite female group for LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
@batoolabbasi2746
I mean yeah tboz was the lead in most of songs u can still never ever feel rivalry or bossy attitude from any of them.i love that they protested for chili after she was kicked out before they were even anything...now destinys child on the other hand...
@the1musiclad
Batool Abbasi To be fair they didn't protest much for Crystal.
Love 'em though, don't get me wrong.
@batoolabbasi2746
I guess protested was a strong word but to still call for her when they weren't even friends was way more sisterhood like than destinys child was
@the1musiclad
Batool AbbasiΒ Yeah but it's two different groups. There was a clear star in Destiny's Child (maybe two). I think they were nice enough allowing Michelle to stick around.
@monopolyphonicmusic
TLC worked so beautifully as a group because they all had a unique job. TBoz sang low, Chilli sang high, and Left Eye rapped. A lot of groups just have multiple mezzo girls fighting for airtime
@beeze590
Everyone pop/r&b girl is a mezzo soprano nowadays. No contraltos or lyric sopranos anymore π’
@gamer1X12
not fighting for airtime, i SCREAMED ππ
@KingstonTV334
3 different feminine energies, T-boz is sensual, Chili is girlish and left eye was tom boyish
