Morcheeba feat Blackstreet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, no, no diggity
This is the remix remat
Brought you by Blackstreet
No diggity no doubt (one, one, one, two no diggity)
Play on, playa
She was a gold digger (no diggity, ayo, ayo, ayo, ayo)
Yo, Dre drop the verse (no, no, no)

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Said 'I don't mind but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor, in around?" (no, no, no diggity)
She said I am the one
Who will dance
On the floor in around (no, no, no diggity)

She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein' the one (no diggity)
Who will dance, on the floor, in around, babe (no, no, no diggity)

People always told me, "be careful what you do
Don't go around breakin young girls' hearts"
And mama always told me, "be careful who you love
Be careful what you do, because a lie become the truth, eh"

Billie Jean is not my lover, oh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (no diggity, no doubt about it)
She said I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)

For forty days and for forty nights I was on the scene
But who could stand when she's in demand her schemes and blames
Gonna dance, on a floor, in around (no, no, no diggity)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice (no)
Don't think twice

She told my baby imagined free and she looked at me (ah, ha)
And showed a photo of a baby cry his eyes were like mine
So we danced, on a floor, in around, baby (no, no, no diggity, no diggity)
The bridge
People always told me, "be careful what you do
Don't go around brakin' young girls' hearts"
But she she came and stood right by me and I smelled her sweet perfume (hehehe)
It happened much too soon
She called me to the room, hey yeah (no, no, no)

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)
The kid is not my son
She said I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)

Billie Jean is not my lover (oh no)
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no diggity, no doubt about)
She said I am the one, said I'm the one (gold digger, gold digger)
But the kid is not my son (I like the way you try to get slick no, no, no, no diggity)
No Billie, Billie, Billie Jean

Billie Jean's not my lover
Billie Jean's not my lover (like take it to the bridge)
Billie Jean's not my lover
Billie Jean's not my lover, oh no
Billie Jean's not my lover (no diggity, no doubt about)
Billie Jean's not my lover (Billie Jean, not my lover)
Billie Jean's not my lover, oh no
Billie Jean's not my lover (Billie)
Billie Jean's (gold digger, gold digger)
Not my lover(I like the way you try to get slick)
Billie Jean's not my lover (yeah, ah, yeah ah, ha)
Billie Jean's (gold digger, gold digger)

Not my lover (I like the way you try to get slick)
Billie Jean's not my lover (no, no, no, no diggity)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Morcheeba feat Blackstreet's song "No Diggity" are a dynamic interplay between different voices, each with a different story to tell. The song opens with the distinctive refrain "No, no, no diggity," indicating the singer's unyielding resolve, and continues with confident pronouncements of "no doubt" and "play on, playa." The first voice that emerges is that of a man addressing another man named Dre, asking him to "drop the verse." He then describes a beautiful woman he has encountered, who reminds him of "a beauty queen from a movie scene." She claims that she is "the one who will dance on the floor, in around," and he is drawn to her confident demeanor. However, he soon discovers that she is a gold digger, which sparks a memory of his mother's warnings about being careful in matters of the heart.

The second voice that enters is that of Michael Jackson, whose famous hit "Billie Jean" is sampled extensively throughout the song. He sings about a woman who claims that he is the father of her child, but he denies it, saying that "the kid is not my son." The chorus repeats the refrain "Billie Jean is not my lover" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's insistence on his innocence. The bridge connects these two narratives, with the singer reflecting on the warning to be careful in matters of love and a woman whom he cannot resist, but who ultimately causes him trouble.
