The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Lovers And Friends" by the artist "Usher"

Contents

In the song "Lovers And Friends," Usher, Lil Jon, and Ludacris sing about their desire for a no-strings-attached fling with a close female friend.

Usher starts by flirting, charming the woman with compliments and inviting her to leave with him. He doesn't want to rush things but makes it clear that he's serious about his intentions. The chorus, repeated throughout the song, expresses his main desire: for their relationship to be both passionate and friendly.

Ludacris continues in a more playful tone, describing the different facets of their relationship. He wants to be both a romantic partner and a loyal friend, enjoying both tenderness and physical attraction. He compares himself to a young plant that the girl can nurture, hinting at his willingness to experiment and submit.

Lil Jon, in turn, confesses that he didn't see the girl as a love interest before, but now his perspective has changed. He speaks frankly about his desires and asks her to confirm that she feels the same way.

Overall, the song conveys the atmosphere of a nightclub, flirtation, and seduction. It doesn't romanticize casual relationships but presents them as a game in which consent and pleasure are paramount.

Usher, Lil' Jon, Ludacris

Yeah, man, once again, it's on, it's on

You know we had to do it again, right?

We had to do it again, boy

Want you to sing to these ladies, man

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

A'ight, so I'm up first? A'ight, lemme have it

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Let's do it

[Usher:]

Baby, how ya doin'? Hope that 'cha fine

Wanna know what you got in mind and i'm

Got me feenin' like Jodeci,

Girl, I can't leave you alone

Take a shot of this here Patrone and it's gon' be on

VIP done got way too crowded

I'm about to end up callin' it a night

You should holla at 'cha girl,

Tell her you shake it and seized

Pull off, beep-beep,

Shotgun in the GT with me

She said, "Oh-oh-ho, I'm ready to ride, yeah

'Cause once you get inside,

You can't change your mind

Don't mean to sound impatient

But you gotta promise, baby, oh

[Chorus:]

Tell me again

(Tell me again, my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends

(Oh, I gotta know, baby, aw yeah)

Tell me again

(Make sho' you right, oh, before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends

(Oh, oh, it's a good look, baby)

[Ludacris:]

Sometime, wanna be your lover

Sometime, wanna be your friend

Sometime, wanna hug ya

Hold hands, slow-dance while the record spins

Opened up your heart 'cause

You said I made you feel so comfortable

Used to play back then

Now you all grown-up like Rudy Huxtable

I could be your bud, you could beat me up

Play-fight in the dark then we both make love

I'd do anything just to feel your butt,

Why you got me so messed up?

I don't know, but you gotta stop trippin'

Be a good girl now, turn around

And get these whippings

You know you like it like that,

You don't have to fight back

Here's a pillow, bite that

And i'll be settin' separate plays,

So, on all these separate days

Your legs can go they separate ways

[Chorus:]

Tell me again

(Tell me again, my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends

(Oh, it's a good look, baby)

Tell me again

(Tell me over and over and over again)

That we'll be lovers and friends

(Make sho' you right, before you choose)

[Lil' Jon:]

I's been know you fo' a long time, shawty

But fuckin' never crossed my mind, shawty

But tonight, I seen sumthin' in ya, shawty

That made me wanna get wit 'cha ,shawty

But you ain't been nuttin' but a friend to me, shawty

And a nga never ever dreamed to be, shawty

Up in here, kissin', huggin', squeezin', touchin', shawty

Up in the bathtub, rub-a-dubbin', shawty

Are you sure you wanna go this route? Shawty

Let a nga know before I pull it out, shawty

I would never ever cross the line, shawty

Shawty, let me hear ya tell me one mo' time, one mo' time

[Chorus:]

Tell me again

(Tell me again, my baby)

That we'll be lovers and friends

(Oh, it's a good look, baby)

Tell me again

(Make sho' you right, oh, before we leave)

That we'll be lovers and friends

(Tell me over and over and over again)

Ah, ah, hoo, ah, ah, hoo

Ah, ah, hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Please tell your lovers and friends

Uh, please tell your lovers and friends

That Usher, Jon and Luda had to do it again, that's right

Ya, please tell your lovers and friends

That Usher, Jon and Luda had to do it again
