Musiq Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately you've been questioning
If I still see you the same way
'Cause through these trying years
We gonna both physically change

Now don't you know you you'll always be
The most beautiful woman I know
So let me reassure you darlin' that
My feelings are truly unconditional

See I'll love you when your hair turns gray, girl
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change, no

I was meant for you and you were meant for me, yeah
And I'll make sure that I'll be everything you need, yeah
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

'Cause I'm not impressed, more or less
By them girls in the T.V and magazines
'Cause honestly I believe that your beauty
Is way more than skin deep
'Cause everything about you makes me feel
I have the greatest gift in the world
And even when you get on my last nerve
I couldn't see myself being with another girl

See I'll love you when your hair turns gray, girl
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change, no

So don't waste your time worryin' bout
Small things that ain't relevant to me
'Cause to my understanding your all I want and need
See what I'm tryin' to say is I'm here to stay
And as long as your love doesn't change, then

Baby darling I swear that I
I swear I ain't going nowhere no

See I'll love you when your hair turns gray, girl
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change, no

You're my baby, yeah
Don't you change baby, no
Baby you gotta understand that I love you baby, yeah
Don't you know, you gotta know
You've got to know
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, ah ah whoa oh oh

Married 20 years to the love of my life. He had a fatal heart attack 6 weeks ago at age 58 and I discovered him on the family room floor. He always sang this song to me. I'm sitting here reflecting. I miss him so much. We were together over 30 years. Always Treasure your Spouse/Significant other!

My wife had a stroke last Saturday been in the CVICU since. Had 3 surgeries but she's recovering slowly but surely but even though I'm writing songs myself this song is so perfect. I'm praying her speech will return and the right side of her body won't be permanently paralyzed. But even if it doesn't my love will never change for her and we'll make it through. Been jamming this song all day.
