It's Not Deep Enough
Jewell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you have money in your pocket 'cause you're an engineer
I'm r-, I'm tryna get paid, so quit playin' back there, okay

Oh
Oh
Hey, yeah, baby, baby
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, I have a piece of pie
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more
It's not deep enough, baby
Ooh, I have a piece of pie
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more
It's not deep enough

Anything you want from me, baby
You can have it
Fulfill your dreams and fantasies
Give you crazy magic
Never have to go far
My love is right where you are
And when you look around
I'm there for you

Ooh, I have a piece of pie
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more
Because it's not deep enough, baby
Ooh, I have a piece of pie
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more
It's not deep enough

You'll soon discover
You ain't gonna find another
Who give lovin' this good to you
The way I do, I do, I do
I'll take care of your needs
I kinda sing when you're into me
Make me reach for the sky

If you don't know (if you don't know)
Which way to go (which way to go)
Then I will show
'Cause I am not your average ho
No, baby
So get with it, right in it
Until you reach the bottom

It's not deep enough, baby
I want it deeper, baby
I want you to dig way down deep
And get it deeper, deeper
Oh, I
Oh, I
I want it deeper, baby
Want you way deep, way deep

Ooh, I have a piece of pie (I have a piece of pie)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat (pie's real sweet)
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more
But still, it's not deep enough, baby
Ooh, I have a piece of pie (you gotta get a little deeper than that)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more (hit it from the back, deeper than that)
It's not deep enough
Ooh, I have a piece of pie (deeper, deeper, baby)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat (you gotta get deeper, baby)
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more (I want you to hit the bottom)
It's not deep enough (hit the bottom)
Ooh, I have a piece of pie (deeper, baby)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat (deeper, deeper)
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more (you gotta get deeper)
It's not deep enough (you gotta get deeper to find my love)

Deeper, baby
Deeper than the cost of livin'
Deeper than the fact that you're not mine
Deeper, baby, deeper, baby
Meat's too tough, beggin' for more
'Cause it's not deep enough

Ooh, I have a piece of pie (deeper, baby)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat (you gotta dig deep to satisfy me)
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more (you dig deep so far that you won't hear nobody else, nobody else)
It's not deep enough (deeper, baby)
Ooh, I have a piece of pie (deeper)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat (deeper)
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more
It's not deep enough (deeper, baby)
Ooh, I have a piece of pie (oh, come on, baby)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat (I said you have to dig deeper)
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more (I said you have to dig deeper)
It's not deep enough (baby)
Ooh, I have a piece of pie
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat
Meat's so tough, I'm beggin' for more (you have to dig deeper to find my love)
It's not deep enough (I want it deeper, I want it deep enough)




Ooh, I have a piece of pie (come on, baby)
Pie's real sweet, have a piece of meat

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Not Deep Enough" by Jewel is a sultry R&B ballad about a woman who desires more depth and passion in her romantic relationship. The lyrics are filled with food metaphors, comparing different types of pie and meat to various aspects of her lover's affection. She feels as though their relationship is lacking the passion and intensity she desires, and is begging for her lover to go deeper and fulfill her needs.


The song begins with Jewel describing her lover as an engineer with money in his pocket, while she is trying to get paid. She tells him to stop playing games and give her what she wants. The chorus repeats the metaphor of pie and meat, and expresses her desire for deeper passion. The second verse describes how she will fulfill all of her lover's needs and fantasies, and promises to never stray far from him. The bridge emphasizes that her love is special and unique, and that she is not your average "ho," or woman seeking casual sex. Finally, the song ends with Jewel repeating the chorus and encouraging her lover to dig deeper and find her love.

Indeed it is.

Suge fumbled the bag big time. She could’ve been Death Row’s Queen Of HipHop Soul. Seems like 80% of the female artists from the west coast were put on the back burner. Jewel’s voice was πŸ”₯.
