Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey mami you know that I like it when you call me papi
But it seems like that you be creeping
That you've been seeing another chico
And baby you know that he can't go down like me
And you know the nigga can't freak like me
So mami tell me one little thing
How deep is your love for me
How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know see

How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know see

Will I keep you mami
Puerto Rican I see the way you wiggle it
The way you move your body
He can't make it get wetter than me
But I bet he keep telling you he better than me
Ooh...you know that he can't go down like me
And you know he ain't no freak like me
So baby tell me one little thing
How deep is you love for me

How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know see

Ay Dios mio
Te extrano mucho
Ven aque mi papi morenito
Y damelo duro
Damelo papi chulo

How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know see

How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin




With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dru Hill's song "How deep is your love for me?" are about a man questioning his lover's commitment to him. He acknowledges that he likes it when she calls him "papi," but he suspects that she is seeing another man. He tries to convince her to choose him instead by telling her that he can perform sexual acts better than her other lover. He is asking her to be honest about her feelings and to what extent she is willing to go to be with him.


Throughout the song, Dru Hill uses Spanish phrases to emphasize his Puerto Rican heritage, making the song a fusion of Latin and R&B. The use of the Spanish language adds to the passion and intensity of the song. The lyrics also convey a sense of urgency as he pleads with his lover to choose him.


Some have interpreted the song as objectifying women as sexual objects, while others view it as a playful way of expressing sexual desire towards a lover. Regardless of the interpretation, the song remains a classic R&B track with its smooth melody, sultry vocals, and memorable chorus.
