Water
Kehlani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't really that deep, but he deep inside
Head like a Scorpio
Shy like a Cancer, water all in them planets
He said, "I wanna undress you
I wanna impress you, but I ain't gon' press you
I wanna undo the things I said before"
Damn, I ain't been this wet in years
Water, water
Water, water
Water, water
Water, water
It's the way you drink it all like you're thirsty
Tie me up, pin me down, show no mercy (ah-ah)
Nibble on it, kissing it like a Hershey (muah)
You could be the boss, I'll let you work me
I'll let you finish on the tat', it says tsunami
Bust down on your future baby mommy (bust down)
Uh, fuckin' in the whip, top off (ayy)
Do a quick dick drop off (drop off)
Guess your old bitch is all talk
I ain't never seen it on soft
Goddamn, I wanna undress you
I wanna impress you, but I ain't gon' stress you
I wanna undo the things I said before
Damn, I ain't been this wet in years
Water, water (ooh, water)
Water (water), water
Water (like), water (like water)
Water (uh-huh), water
Water, water
Water, water
Water, water
Water, water
Kehlani's song "Water" talks about a romantic relationship between the singer and her lover. The first few lines of the song mention that she spends her nights with a Pisces, which is an astrological sign that is often associated with characteristics like being emotionally deep and intuitive. The following lines further describe her lover's intense personality, comparing the deepness of his thoughts to that of a Scorpio and the shyness of his nature to that of a Cancer - both of which are also astrological signs.
In the chorus, Kehlani sings about feeling "wet" and being immersed in "water," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for her sexual desires and the intensity of the connection she shares with her partner. She further elaborates on her desires to be undressed and to be impressed by her partner, but also makes it clear that she doesn't want to be pressured into anything. The verse concludes with the singer expressing her eagerness to undo any mistakes she may have made in the past.
The second verse of the song talks about the physical aspects of the couple's relationship. Kehlani sings about being tied up and taken charge of by her partner, while also enjoying the intimacy of kissing and nibbling. She then talks about wanting her partner to be the boss and the satisfaction of being able to work for him. The lines "I'll let you finish on the tat', it says tsunami / Bust down on your future baby mommy" suggest that the couple is deeply committed to each other and has even made permanent promises with tattoos.
