In The Morning
Jennifer Lopez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

If you love me
Say it in the morning
Not just in the evening
Only when you want my body, want my body

Sweet little white lies
Your sweet little white lies
Leave a bad taste in my mouth


Your taste in my mouth (come on)
Queen in the nighttime
Black dress with the white wine
Mess it up, watch it fall down
When you watch it fall down

You tell I'm a real one
I'm the right one
But only when you're on one
You tell me that you need me, wanna see me
But only when you want some, want some

Yeah, if you love me
Say it in the morning
Not just in the evening
Only when you want my body, want my body
Baby, love me like you mean it
Not just in the evening
Only when you want my body, want my body

(Na na na, na na na, ayy)
(Na na na, na na na, ayy)

Hands cover my neck (uh)
Hold tight 'cause you're obsessed
Come get it in when you're out
Get it in when you're out
Go down in the dim light
You love it 'cause it's so tight
So you better lock it down
You know you better lock it down

You tell I'm a real one
I'm the right one
But only when you're on one
You tell me that you need me, wanna see me
But only when you want some, want some

Yeah, if you love me
Say it in the morning
Not just in the evening
Only when you want my body, want my body
Baby, love me like you mean it
Not just in the evening
Only when you want my body, want my body

(Na na na, na na na, ayy)
(Na na na, na na na, ayy)
Only when you want my body
Only when you want my body
(Na na na, na na na, ayy) Ooh
(Na na na, na na na, ayy) Na na na
(Na na na, na na na, ayy)
Only when you want my body, want my body

Sweet little white lies
Your sweet little white lies
Leave a bad taste in my mouth
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

If you love me (if you love me)
Say it in the morning (say it in the)
Not just in the evening (ooh)
Only when you want my body, want my body
Baby, love me like you mean it (like you mean it)

Not just in the evening
Only when you want my body, want my body, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "In The Morning" by Jennifer Lopez is about wanting someone to express their love consistently rather than just when they need physical intimacy. The chorus repeats the message, "If you love me, say it in the morning, not just in the evening, only when you want my body." The lyrics suggest a relationship where one partner only expresses their love when they desire physical intimacy. The verses describe the intensity of the physical relationship with lines such as "hands cover my neck, hold tight 'cause you're obsessed."


The song also touches on the idea of lies and deception in a relationship. Lopez sings, "Sweet little white lies, your sweet little white lies, leave a bad taste in my mouth." These lyrics suggest a partner may say what the other wants to hear, but these false promises eventually leave a negative impact on the relationship. As the lyrics continue, Lopez expresses her power by stating that she is the "Queen in the nighttime" and wearing a "black dress with the white wine."


Overall, Lopez is asking for honesty and consistency in a relationship rather than just physical desire. It is a call for a deeper, more meaningful relationship rather than one purely based on physical attraction.

jlo is always ahead of her time, she breaks the stereotypes, she tells the world that women can do whatever they want at any age. people were criticing her for releasing fun song at 45, for pole dancing at 50, for wearinf a different style... she keeps proving that age doesn't matter!

Richard Martínez
