The lyrics of Marcia Aitken's "I'm Still In Love With You" song express the persistence of love towards a person who doesn't know how to love or kiss properly. The singer is still deeply in love with this boy despite knowing that he is not fulfilling her emotional and physical needs. She repeats the phrase "I'm still in love with you boy" throughout the song, as if trying to convince herself that her feelings are still intact.
The first verse already sets the tone of the song, with the boy's incapacity to love and kiss highlighted. The following lines reveal the singer's confusion and frustration, as she cannot grasp why she still loves him despite his shortcomings. The chorus repeats the titular line, accompanied by the word "love" chanted in a chorus that emphasizes the intensity of the emotion.
Overall, the song conveys the idea that love can be irrational and persistent, even when it is not reciprocated or fulfilled. It portrays the complexity of love, which can be both empowering and confusing.

I remember this pic of Marcia as if it was yesterday although it was when I was in high school at Excelsior. She sang at most of our concerts back then. I was Class of 1977 and she was about one or two years ahead. Has such a great voice and personality. The best years of my life back then in Jamaica. Certainly brings back very good memories.

Wikipedia says she was born circa 1956 but that could not have been her correct birth year if she attended Excelsior High School during the latter part of the 1970s. Am I right?
