In My Bed
Dru Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nah, nah, nah
Nah, this, this can't be true

I got this feeling and I just can't turn it loose
That somebody's been getting next to you
I don't want to walk around knowin' I was your fool
'Cause being the man that I am
I just can't lose my cool

My friends keep telling me about the things that's going on, babe
But deep in my heart, baby, I hope that I'm wrong
Yes, I hope that I'm wrong but I know it, babe

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby (my bed, my bed)
Somebody's takin' my place (baby)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
And you know just what I mean, ohh

I come home early expecting your warm embrace
But something is wrong 'cause it's written all over your face
It hurt so bad when I walked through the door
But 'cha know one damn thing, baby, I ain't coming back no more
No, no, no
Now don't try to tell me things are still the same, yeah
'Cause when we made love
I heard you call out his name, call out his name

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby (tonight, baby)
Somebody's takin' my place (Sisqo's place, yeah)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
Somebody's takin' my place, yeah

Girl, I want you to know
Gave you money and every little thing that you need
I gave you the world (yes, I did)
'Cause you were my girl (ooh, yes, I did)
But you still ran out on me, oh, yeah

Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
(Said you're sleeping in my bed)
(Messin' with my head, ooh)
Somebody's takin' my place (baby, ooh)
Tell me why, oh, why, oh, why
Why, oh, why, oh, why
(Why, oh, why, oh why, oh, why, oh, who, who, oh, why)
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
(I said you're sleeping in my bed)
(Messin' with my head)
Somebody's takin' my place (whoa, yeah)

Now if you truly love me (alright)
Then this would not be happenin'
Sleepin' in my bed, messin' with my head
Oh, no, no, no, no (somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby)
Gotta let you go, yes I do, baby, babe
Somebody's takin' my place
Why'd you do it to me? Why'd you do it?
I don't wanna be a fool no more
Somebody's sleeping in my bed, baby
Somebody's takin' my place

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dru Hill's song "In My Bed" tell a story of a man who suspects that his partner is cheating on him. He feels a strong sense of betrayal and hurt, but also a sense of pride and a desire to maintain his dignity as a man. He tries to ignore the rumors he hears from his friends, but deep inside he knows that they are true. When he comes home and sees the evidence of his partner's infidelity on her face, the pain is too much to bear, and he decides to leave her. The lyrics suggest that the man has been generous and loving to his partner, but she has still chosen to betray him.


The song is a powerful expression of the emotions that people feel when they discover that they have been cheated on. It captures the sense of confusion, pain, and anger that can come with such a discovery, and it speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and loss. The lyrics are also notable for their honesty and vulnerability. The man in the song is not afraid to admit that he has been hurt, and he is not afraid to express his anger and pain. This openness and honesty make the song all the more powerful and relatable.

I hate how he overlooked as a vocalist, he had such a fantastic voice. The passion in Sisqo’s voice was truly unmatched. One of the most recognizable voices in the industry.

I've been on a Dru Hill binge. "5 Steps, Never Make A Promise", "These Are The Times", " In My Bed"! Dru Hill needs to be more recognized.

@nancybreaux9684

So true.

@maagyk

Me too! And we don't make love anymore. Back in the day, I heard about them and never checked it out. Because of Lauryn Hill, I thought this was a person. I kept seeing Az Yet on FB videos and decided to check them on YouTube. Dry Hill was suggested. Now I'm hooked! I watch these videos at least twice a day, especially before I go to sleep. (I used to sing myself to sleep as a kid.)

@kevinhorsley8822
