Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me, let me
(Let me love ya)
It only happens once in a lifetime
I want me some vita ass perfect and true babe
You got me and I got you, baby
Tell your ex it's mine and I won't lose if you chosin', baby
Don't let nobody convince you that we enemies
I was down for the count, I was down we was out
And I woulda led to me
You's my little secret
They don't know you freaky, with a chick like you I'm conceited
And when my mama fuck with you and my brother fuck with you
Need the baby in the crib where we completed
You got money, I got money, no competin'
F gang, but we always on some G shit
I'm on some OG with the pussy, I'ma beat it
Beep-beep-beep-beep DJ and repeat it
All the above is the truth
Trust in me like I trust in you
Fuck with me like I fuck with you
How am I real if I ain't real with you?
Let me love ya, let me love ya, let me love ya
Let me be the one to, let me be the one to love you
Let me love ya
Wanna love you, babe (love you, babe)
Hear what I'm sayin', oh
Love you
(Let me love you, let me love you)
Love you
(Let me love you, let me love you)
Love you
(Let me love you, let me love you)
Love you
(Let me love you)
You the realist bitch out here, we all admit that you the shit
New BMW, new tint so dark the cops gotta squint
You drivin' out the city to make money that I'll never let you spend
See that's something broke niggas just will never comprehend
We hit the strip together and we trip together
Hit the lick together, oh
Hit the piff together, book the Ritz together
This is it forever, oh
Hit the gym in three thousand dollar outfit
'Cause I gotta flex for my baby
We just swerved on these hoes
It's adjourned on these hoes, I wanna know
(When you gon' let me, babe?)
You gotta trust me, babe
Let me love ya, let me love ya, let me love ya
Let me be the one to, let me be the one to love you
Let me love ya
(Wanna love you, babe)
(You gotta know, girl, I ain't takin no)
(I, I really love ya)
Love you
(Let me love you, let me love you)
Love you
(Let me love you, let me love you)
Love you
(Let me love you, let me love you) who gon' treat you the best?
Love you
(Let me love you)
I need you to let me love you down
Ready
Told you I was ready (let me love ya)
Said that I was ready for it
Ready
I'ma show you
(It never really mattered too much to me)

It only happens once in a lifetime
This is a unique and rare opportunity
I want me some vita ass perfect and true babe

Baby, you know that you more than just a friend to me
You understand that you hold a deeper place in my heart than just friendship
Don't let nobody convince you that we enemies
Do not allow anyone to deceive you into thinking we are enemies
I was down for the count, I was down we was out
I was in a difficult situation, almost defeated, but we stood strong together
And I woulda led to me
And I would have led to my downfall
You's my little secret
You are my confidential and intimate love
They don't know you freaky, with a chick like you I'm conceited
Others are unaware of your sensual side, and having a partner like you boosts my confidence
And when my mama fuck with you and my brother fuck with you
And when my mother and brother approve and support our relationship
Need the baby in the crib where we completed
We should have a child together and raise them in our home, where our love is fulfilled
You got money, I got money, no competin'
Both of us have wealth, there is no need for rivalry
F gang, but we always on some G shit
We are part of a group, but our actions and attitudes are always gangster-like
I'm on some OG with the pussy, I'ma beat it
I approach sex with experience and dominance, I will pleasure you
Beep-beep-beep-beep DJ and repeat it
The DJ repeats our love and desires through the music
All the above is the truth
Everything mentioned above is sincere and genuine
Trust in me like I trust in you
Have confidence and faith in me, just as I have in you
Fuck with me like I fuck with you
Support and be loyal to me, just as I am to you
How am I real if I ain't real with you?
I cannot be genuine and authentic if I am not honest and true with you
Wanna love you, babe (love you, babe)
I desire to express my love for you
Hear what I'm sayin', oh
Listen carefully to my words and intentions
(When you gon' let me, babe?)
When will you allow me to express my love for you?
You gotta trust me, babe
You need to have faith and confidence in me
I, I really love ya
I truly have deep affection for you
(You gotta know, girl, I ain't takin no)
You need to understand, I will not accept anything less
Who gon' treat you the best?
Who will provide you with the highest level of care and love?
I need you to let me love you down
I want you to allow me to pleasure and satisfy you
Ready
I am prepared and willing
Told you I was ready (let me love ya)
I informed you that I am ready to express my love for you
Said that I was ready for it
I declared that I am prepared for this
I'ma show you
I will demonstrate and prove my love to you
(It never really mattered too much to me)
It never held great importance or significance to me
