Me & You
Chingy feat Janet Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And, daddy, he was distant, never there to hold my hand
Never bought the things he'd always promise to give me
Mother made up for him, always watching over me
Days would go by and we would never see his face
In my mind, I'd wonder, "Does he have another place?"
If and when he'd come in he would always be upset
All the kids were scared his next syndrome would be a fret
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need
Father never taught us these things mom said to me
Now the table's turned, so tell me you need me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Just admit you need me
Daddy, daddy dearest, what is it you want from me? (Tell me)
I won't turn my back on you the way you did with me
Now you try to give, I'm always reaching out to grab
I'll give you what I can, but I can't give what I don't have
Mother lends a shoulder to cry on if you need (mother lends a shoulder)
But are you there for mother
If she needs your company? (When she needs your company)
Father never taught us
These things mom said to me (he never taught us, mother said)
Now the table's turned, so tell me you need me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Say you need me
If you realize we need each other
We would be a closer family
I need you, yeah (ohh, you need me)
I need you and you know that (ohh, you need me)
Say (tell me)
You need me
(Tell, tell, tell, tell, tell me)
Tell me (yeah, baby)
(Yeah, baby) tell me
Tell me
Now that you are older
Now that you are older and you begin to see (oh, it's so easy to see)
Family's important to be there if you need (so, so, so, and)
Father never taught us these things mom said to me (no, no, never taught us)
Just admit you need me
Tell me that you need me (now that you are older)
Tell me that you love me (now that you are older)
Tell me that you need me (now that you are older)
Just admit that
Tell me you (you), you need me
Now that you are older and you begin to see
Family's important to be there if you need (tell me)
Father never taught us these things mom said to me (father never taught us)
Now the table's turned, so tell me you need me
Mother lends a shoulder to cry on if you need
But are you there for mother when she needs your company? (Are you there for mother?)
Father never taught us (are you there for mother?)
These things mom said to me (are you there for mother?)
Just admit you need me
The lyrics to Chingy and Janet Jackson's song "Me & You" explore the frustrations of a woman who feels neglected and sexually unsatisfied in her relationship. She suspects that her partner may be more interested in fantasies and pornography than in their physical intimacy together. The lyrics describe her yearning for passion and animalistic desire from her partner, as she feels like he is holding back and not fulfilling her needs.
The first verse suggests that the man in the relationship is actively fantasizing and becoming aroused by images of other women, while ignoring or neglecting his partner's desires. When she approaches him wearing the same lingerie as his fantasized model, he merely kisses her and then goes to sleep. The chorus repeatedly urges the man to "do me like you wanna do them other girls," in order to satisfy the woman's needs for sexual excitement and variety.
The second verse alludes to the man's possible infidelity, as he boasts to his friends about "breaking [the woman] off" when in reality she is left unsatisfied. The woman accuses him of watching pornography at night instead of engaging with her, and calls for him to treat her more passionately and with more animalistic energy. In the bridge, Janet Jackson asks the man if he only wants her for her physical appearance and public persona, or if he truly sees and values her as a whole person.
Overall, the lyrics to "Me & You" express a woman's desire for sexual fulfillment, passion, and self-respect within her romantic relationship, as she feels unfulfilled and neglected by a partner who prioritizes sexual fantasies and outside influences over her own desires.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw your manhood rising 'cause you were fantasizing
I noticed your arousal when you were daydreaming about a model in lingerie
I guess that model in that lingerie got you excited
I assume the sight of a lingerie model aroused you
That night when I crawled in bed wearing that same teddy bear
On a particular night, I wore a teddy bear to bed
You only said, "I love you," kissed me and rolled over and slept
All you said was "I love you," kissed me, and went to sleep
Damn, is that all I get from you?
Is that all you have to offer me?
'Bout to give me an attitude
I might start to get angry
You need to make love to me
We need to have passionate sex
Like you don't love me then
Without holding back, with intense feelings
Don't have to be gentle, tonight
You don't need to be slow and delicate tonight
Just be an animal tonight
Instead, be rough and primal tonight
Just do me, baby
Just have sex with me, baby
Come on and drive me crazy
And make me lose my mind
Act like I'm not your lady
Pretend I'm not your girlfriend
And do me like you wanna do them other girls
Have sex with me the way you want to do with other women
Why you be tellin' your boys how you been breaking me off?
Why do you brag to your friends about having sex with me?
Must be somebody else who's back you broke
It must have been someone else you had sex with, not me
'Cause I didn't get none
Because I didn't get any back injury from sex with you
You up at three in the morn
You stay up till 3 am
Watchin' that triple-X porn
Watching pornographic movies
But you're so tired when you make love to me
Yet, you are always exhausted when we have sex
What did you learn?
Did you get any new insights?
Do me, baby
Have sex with me, baby
That's right, come on
Yes, let's do this
Get it ready, baby
Get your body ready for sex, baby
Hit it like this, baby, ooh, yeah
Have sex with me passionately, just like this
When you look at me
When you gaze at me
Do you want me just for what you see?
Do you desire me based solely on physical appearance?
Do you think I'm that person that you watch on TV?
Do you believe I am the same as the person you see on TV?
There's another side that I don't hide
I have another aspect of my personality that I don't conceal
But may never show
But I may never reveal it fully

Your height, your sight, with my life as your protection
So sweet like CANDY, let's raise a family in Miami
Where the beach so sandy, toast two champagne glasses, you and me
Your scent, like the smell of fresh AIR (pronounced URR) of relief
And for you I go over my budget
No I ain't CHEAP
Can't stop grindin'til I get EVERY(pronounced ERRY) RECORD to the top
Just Know that you on my mind erry second on the clock
Tick tock, if you ever need help, scream (Oooh)
And I come runnin for my life,to trade it in for your dreams
