Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a little after two whatcha gonna do
I don't have a car neither do you you
I don't live very far we could walk too
my friends are going home I could go home with you
we could keep it quiet they wouldn't have a clue
You smell so nice, dance so well, it's so dark,
They can't tell
We're from two different worlds we barely know each other
How was I to know that you were with another
We're from two different world and now that we're lovers
Nobody knows we keep it undercover
We're from two different worlds and now that we're lovers
Nobody knows we keep it undercover
The night's getting longer with every step
You're askin me know are we there yet
Anticipation is makin me sweat
are you thinkin it through, is it so wrong to do
it's a complicated situation, lovers and friends when does it end, which one goes no one knows is it time to pretend, it's a complicated situation, lovers and friends can we begin, meet me here, let's go there only if you dare
We're from two different worlds we barely know each other
How was I to know that you were with another
We're from two different world and now that we're lovers
Nobody knows we keep it undercover
We're from two different worlds and now that we're lovers
Nobody knows we keep it undercover
Hey I promise I'll call you when I get into your city
Hold your breath, say bye to your friends before you do it
you know the drill, a good girl keeps a secret
nobody knows but everyone knows,
there's something goin on between us
The song "Two Different Worlds" by Afrobeta tells the story of two people who come from different backgrounds and are unsure about how their friends will react to their romantic involvement. It starts with the two meeting up and considering going back to one person's place. The verse "You smell so nice, dance so well, it's so dark, They can't tell What you think they'd say if they knew" shows that they are both attracted to each other but worried about what their friends will think. They are hesitant but can't seem to resist the chemistry between them. They realize that they are from "two different worlds" and that they are keeping their relationship a secret from everyone.
As the night goes on, they become more comfortable with each other and start to enjoy their time together. However, there is some anxiety and uncertainty about the situation they are in. The line "Anticipation is makin me sweat, are you thinkin it through, is it so wrong to do" shows that they are both questioning their decision to be together. They both know that it's a complicated situation because they don't want to hurt their friends or each other. In the end, they decide to keep their relationship a secret because they don't want anyone to know.
