88 Fingers Louie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I have to say won't be too neat
I saw this coming for about a year
When your mother said I need you dear
I'm not here just to see you dear
I'm really here to see your mother
One night last week, when you were asleep
Don't be around unless you want today
Because all day I need to mate
She made me feel as if I was at home
One thing I remember when we were alone
I'm not here just to see you dear
I'm really here to see your mother
One night last week, when you were asleep
We fooled around under the covers
I wanna come home Friday night
And I'll do my best to make things right
Just make sure that your moms not htere
Or she'll pinch my cheeks and squeeze my rear
I'm not here just to see you dear
I'm really here to see your mother
One night last week, when you were asleep
We fooled around under the covers
The lyrics of 88 Fingers Louie's song 'Under The Covers' describe a man who is confessing to his lover that he has been having an affair with her mother. The song is written in a conversational tone, suggesting that the man is trying to explain himself and justify his actions to his lover.
The first verse sets the scene, with the man telling his lover that he has something important to tell her. He explains that he has known for a year that this confession was coming, suggesting that the affair has been going on for some time. The man then drops the bombshell that he didn't just come to see his lover, but was also there to see her mother.
In the chorus, the man tells his lover about a night last week when they fooled around under the covers. He emphasizes that he is not just there to see his lover, but is also interested in her mother.
In the second verse, the man becomes more explicit about his feelings. He tells his lover that he needs to mate all day and that her mother makes him feel at home. He then reminisces about their encounter, saying that he remembers being alone with her.
The final verse sees the man trying to make things right with his lover. He asks to come home on Friday, but requests that her mother not be there as she is too affectionate towards him. The song ends with the man repeating the chorus.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are about a man who is cheating on his lover with her mother. The man is trying to justify his actions to his lover, but it is clear that he is in the wrong.

I really think you should have a seat
I have something serious to say so please sit down
What I have to say won't be too neat
This may be hard to hear and not a clean situation
I saw this coming for about a year
I knew this would happen but it took time
When your mother said I need you dear
Your mother gave me the signal that she wanted me
I'm not here just to see you dear
I'm not interested in just you
I'm really here to see your mother
My true intention is to be with your mother
One night last week, when you were asleep
We had physical intimacy under the covers while you were unaware
We fooled around under the covers
We had a sexual encounter that was hidden
Don't be around unless you want today
Only stay if you also want to have sex
Because all day I need to mate
I desire sexual activity all day
She made me feel as if I was at home
Your mother made me feel comfortable and welcome
One thing I remember when we were alone
I recall a moment of our private encounter
I wanna come home Friday night
I plan to return on Friday to be with your mother
And I'll do my best to make things right
I will try to make amends for what we did
Just make sure that your moms not there
Ensure your mother is absent so we can be together in secret
Or she'll pinch my cheeks and squeeze my rear
She may be affectionate in a way that we cannot show in public
