usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To take a chance, go to the deep end
Usher baby
Turn the lights on
These waters can get a little busy
But I got experience
Don't mind trekking through the storm
Shedding all your innocence
I see the walls are looking like they might precipitate
Until I'm in so deep, it's up to my ways
But I promise girl I ain't afraid
It's raining inside your bed
No parts are dry
Loving made you so wet, your legs, your thighs
And ever since we first met I knew that
I, I knew I was ready baby to take that dive
Can't help it, no
I want you to feel me
Every little bit of me baby
I don't need a life saver, babe
Baby going deeper ain't gon' kill me
And I know the rest you'll get from me
I see the walls are looking like they might precipitate
Until I'm in so deep, it's up to my ways
But I promise girl I ain't afraid, no, no
It's raining inside your bed
No parts are dry
Loving made you so wet, your legs, your thighs
And ever since we first met I knew that
I, I knew I was ready baby to take that dive
I'll be inside when the tides are rolling baby
You'll be my place to hide all night, all night babe
I'm not afraid to try
And no I don't mind playing in the rain
And I was hoping that I'd get to take that dive
It's raining inside your bed (it's raining and)
No parts are dry (I don't mind if I get wet)
Loving made you so wet, your legs, your thighs
And ever since we first met I knew that
I knew I was ready baby to take that dive
Oh, oh
My, my baby
The lyrics to Usher's song Dive In explore the idea of taking a chance and diving into something new in a relationship. The first verse, "I know you think I'm afraid to take a chance, go to the deep end," suggest that the singer or character in the song is hesitant to take a risk in a relationship, but is willing to do so with the right person. The line "these waters can get a little busy, but I got experience" indicates that the singer is aware of the potential difficulties that can arise when diving into a new relationship, but is confident in their ability to navigate through them.
The song then progresses to a more intimate and sensual tone, with the chorus stating "It's raining inside your bed, no parts are dry, loving made you so wet, your legs, your thighs" which shows that the singer and their partner are physically intimate and that the singer is confident in their abilities to please their partner. The line "I knew I was ready baby to take that dive" further emphasizes the idea of taking a risk and diving into something new, but in this context, it is applied to the physical aspect of a relationship.
The second verse continues with the theme of taking risks, with the line "And I know the rest you'll get from me". Here, the singer is expressing their willingness to give everything they have to their partner, knowing that it might be risky and challenging, but worth it in the end. The song ends with the line "My baby", which is a term of endearment and implies a deep emotional connection between the singer and their partner.

I know you think I'm afraid
You might think that I am scared
To take a chance, go to the deep end
To take a risk or go all in
These waters can get a little busy
Things might get a little chaotic
But I got experience
I have been through it before
Don't mind trekking through the storm
I am willing to face the challenges
Long as I know that you're here with me baby
As long as you are with me
Shedding all your innocence
Letting go of your inhibitions
I see the walls are looking like they might precipitate
Obstacles may be approaching
Until I'm in so deep, it's up to my ways
Until I am fully committed
But I promise girl I ain't afraid
But I assure you I am not scared
