In Too Deep
Eminem Lyrics

"This could never work," is what we said at first
At the beginning, we both knew this wouldn't work.

But whatever this is, it's working
Despite both of us being involved with other people, we can't help but continue our relationship.

But we're in two different worlds and (yeah)
We come from completely different backgrounds and lifestyles.

I'm not your husband (nah), you ain't my girlfriend
We are not officially committed to each other like in a marriage or traditional dating relationship.

All I know is that (what?)
The only thing I am certain of is that I am a different person when I am with you.

When I'm with you, I'm a different person, yeah
Being with you changes me and the way I feel about everything.

And I ain't never met a chick as perfect
I have never met anyone who is as perfect for me as you are.

Girl, you're a ten, so here I am (yeah)
You are the definition of perfection, and I can't resist being with you.

Laying here with her again
I am back to being with my partner, who is not you.

Thinking 'bout you
But I can't stop thinking about you and our relationship.

She's asleep, you're texting me around two
You are messaging me in the middle of the night when my partner is asleep.

Crying face emoji, you say this is me without you
You express how unhappy you are when we are not together.

We're sneaking out to meet at cheap hotel rooms or
We have to be discreet and often meet in low-budget hotels or cars.

Sex in the car, then I'll text you tomorrow
We have sex in my car and then continue our relationship through text messages.

Do I question it? Nah, no objection at all
I never doubt our relationship and don't object to any of our actions.

'Cause both of us are still involved, so
We continue to be in relationships with other people.

As I'm peelin' off, all I'm thinking 'bout is
As I am leaving my partner's presence, you are all I can think about.

You're laying there with him, thinking 'bout me
You are also thinking about me while being physically close with your partner.

He's asleep, you say, "let's meet around three"
You suggest sneaking out again to be with me, while your partner is asleep.

You went to leave the house, he caught you sneaking out, now he's freaking out
Your partner catches you trying to leave to meet me and becomes upset.

You thought he was sleepin' soundly, whoa
You assumed your partner would not wake up during your decision to sneak out.

You say you're going for a drive, you don't question him
You lie to your partner and say you are going for a drive instead of being with me.

When he stumbles in, like, "where the fuck you've been?"
Your partner confronts you about your whereabouts.

Then you pump his ear with what he wants to hear
You tell him what he wants to hear to keep him satisfied.

Tell him you love him, yeah, wipe each other's tears
You both express your love for each other and comfort each other.

But it's been a couple years since we been doin' dirt
We have been in this secret relationship for a couple of years now.

You or my girl, don't wanna see either of you get hurt
I don't want to hurt you or my partner if our secret relationship is revealed.

But now the lines are gettin' super blurred
It becomes harder to distinguish who I am cheating on and who I am cheating with.

Can't tell if I'm cheatin' on her with you or cheatin' on you with her
I am unsure if my true partner is the one I am cheating on or cheating with.

But really, nobody's at fault, can't help who you love
We cannot help who we love, and nobody is entirely to blame for the situation.

Hope they don't ever hear us talk
We hope nobody finds out about our relationship.

'Cause we both are gettin' sloppy
Our attempts to keep our relationship a secret are becoming sloppier by the day.

Probably subconsciously part of me's hoping we get caught 'cause
A part of me may want our relationship to be revealed unconsciously.

We're laying here with them, thinking 'bout us
We cannot help but imagine ourselves being together while physically close with our partners.

'Cause now when we get home, we get jealous
We become jealous of each other being with our respective partners after being together ourselves.

Of each other being someone else's
Knowing that the other is with someone else, we become possessive and envious.

Call us Long John Silver's 'cause we selfish
We are selfish for wanting each other despite being involved with other people.

But I just wanna see ya
Despite everything, I still just want to be with you.

Don't care if it's at the Ritz or Motel 6
I am willing to be with you anywhere, regardless of the location.

If I'm there with ya, rich or poor
As long as I am with you, it does not matter if we have a lot of money or not.

When I'm laying here with ya, it could be the kitchen floor
As long as I am with you, even a floor is comfortable and desirable.

I could stay in bed with ya, starin' at ya 'til the morn'
I do not need anything else when I am with you, and I could spend all night looking at you.

I just wanna be your secret lover, yeah
I want our relationship to remain a secret and continue being your lover.

I'd rather share ya than to not have you at all
I would rather have a part of you than not have any of you at all.

So once a year or twice a month, I'm here if you want it
I am always available to be with you whenever you want, albeit infrequently.

Yeah, I'm open season
My feelings and relationship with you are always open for the taking.

And I'm always game, so keep it a hunnid, dear, haha
I am always ready to be with you, so please always be honest with me.

'Cause we could never be each other's everythings, you got a wedding ring
We cannot be together permanently since you are already married.

So it's him instead of me, but I'll be your second string, now and forever because
Since you cannot be with me permanently, I am willing to be your side choice.

We're just in too deep (I'm in way too deep)
Our relationship has gone too far, and we are too emotionally invested in each other.
