Fine Line
Mabel & Not3s Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We came in crawling this morning
Already getting ready to go (aah)
And now I got you calling for me
'Cause there's a plan and you wanna know (aah, oh)

I know how this thing goes (goes)
I know the beat to your love
I know how you like yours (yours)
(Aah, oh)
They say anything goes (goes)
But I have the beat to your love (your love)
Where are we gonna take it?

Now I'm dancing on a fine line
Somewhere between a minute and a lifetime
You do it to me, to me
I can't lie, I got a bit caught up tonight
But it's a fine line
You do it to me, to me
You do it to me, to me

I got a warning for you
Don't play me at this, I never lose
I'm all in, all in so follow me with your every move
(Aah, ooh, aah)

I know how this thing goes (goes)
I know the beat to your love
I know how you like yours (yours)
(Aah, oh)
They say anything goes (goes)
But I have the beat to your love (your love)
Where are we gonna take it?

Now I'm dancing on a fine line
Somewhere between a minute and a lifetime
You do it to me, to me
I can't lie, I got a bit caught up tonight
But it's a fine line
You do it to me, to me

You do it to me
But you don't know what you're doing to me
You're making my head explode
And it's mad how you make a brother lose his brain
A touch made me go insane
I know this is destiny
Every time you say my name
You ain't committed no crimes before
No felon, but you're dangerous
All these other people hating us
But we don't give a fuck what they say to us
'Cause you got me and I know I got you
Everybody's eyes on us when we come through

Now we're dancing on a fine line
Somewhere between a minute and a lifetime
You do it to me, to me
I can't lie, I got a bit caught up tonight
But it's a fine line
You do it to me, to me
You do it to me, to me

But it's a fine line

Overall Meaning

The song "Fine Line" by Mabel and Not3s is about the uncertainty and unpredictability of a new romantic relationship. The first verse talks about their plans for the day, but also hints at the fact that things are already changing and becoming less certain. Mabel sings about knowing "the beat to your love" and "how you like yours," indicating a level of familiarity with the person she's involved with, but also acknowledges that "anything goes" and wonders where they'll take their relationship.


The chorus emphasizes the "fine line" that they're walking, somewhere between a short-lived experience and a lifetime commitment. Mabel admits that she's "got a bit caught up tonight" and seems hesitant about the emotional risk she's taking. However, she can't deny the attraction and excitement that this person brings to her life.


Not3s' rap verse further confirms the idea that this relationship is risky but thrilling. He describes his partner as "dangerous" and admits that she's already made him "go insane" with just a touch. Despite the potential consequences, he's drawn to her and seems to believe that they're destined to be together.


Overall, "Fine Line" portrays the complex and often contradictory emotions that come with falling in love. It celebrates the excitement and passion that come with taking risks, but also recognizes the fear and uncertainty that can make it difficult to fully commit.
