In 1990 Usher joined an R&B local quintet called the NuBeginnings, which was organized by local music svengali, Darryl Wheeler and then he decided to pursue a career in music. Aside from recording, Usher has ventured into business. He has established his own record label, US Records, and is a part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise. He has also dabbled in acting, with a recurring role on the teen sitcom Moesha, and roles in the films The Faculty (1998, with Josh Harnett) She's All That (1999, with Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and Texas Rangers (2001, with Ashton Kutcher).

Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a goddamn sore loser
I ain't too proud to stay
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind
With my soul sat down so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time
Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes'n I try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's a bleeding
Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had
Was just selfish and sad
To see you now with him
Is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
Just to prove to me that you can
An I will stand here
And burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
And burn in my skin
In Usher's song Main Mix, the singer addresses his mother, pleading with her to not leave him alone. He confesses that he is a "goddamn sore loser" and while he isn't too proud to stay, he can't get her out of his mind. He details the agony of being without her, his soul feeling "like a stone cold tomb." He reflects on the love they shared and how sad it is to see her with someone else. His jealousy is palpable when he asks her to kiss the other guy again just to prove that she can, admitting that he will "stand here and burn in my skin." The song is a heart-wrenching exploration of loss and the agony of unrequited love.

Oh mama don't walk away
Please don't leave me
I'm a goddamn sore loser
I'm really bitter about losing you
I ain't too proud to stay
I don't have too much pride, I want you back
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
I can't stop thinking about you
And I'm so lonesome without you
I'm really lonely without you
And I can't get you out of my mind
You're always on my mind
Oh mama don't leave me alone
Please don't abandon me
With my soul sat down so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
I feel terrible, as if my soul is in a prison
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
It's obvious when I'm around you
I'm just dying to hear you
I really want to hear your voice
Calling my name one more time
Just say my name one more time, please
Oh so don't pay no mind
Don't worry about me
To my watering eyes
I'm crying, but it's not a big deal
Must be something in the air
Maybe it's something in the atmosphere
That I'm breathing
Which is causing me to cry
Yes'n I try to ignore
Even though I try to ignore it
All this blood on the floor
I'm bleeding profusely
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's a bleeding
My heart is broken and I'm really upset
Oh mama don't walk away
Please don't leave me
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
You left me shattered by telling me the painful truth
Saying the love that we had
Admitting that our love was futile
Was just selfish and sad
We were only thinking about ourselves, and it was depressing
To see you now with him
It's really bothering me to see you with someone else
Is just making me mad
It's driving me crazy
Oh so kiss him again
Just kiss him again, why don't you?
Just to prove to me that you can
Just to demonstrate that you have the capability
An I will stand here
I'll just keep standing here
And burn in my skin
I'll endure the agony of watching it happen
Yes I will stand here
I won't move, I'll stay where I am
And burn in my skin
I'll bear witness as it crushes me
