Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoe
But I do love you, but I do love you
I don't like to see the sky painted gray
And I don't like when nothing's going my way
And I don't like to be the one with the blues
But I do love you, but I do love you
Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head
Upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
I don't like to turn the radio on
Just to find I missed my favorite song
And I don't like to be the last with the news
But I do love you, but I do love you
Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head
Upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
And I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes




But I do love you but I do love you
But I do love you but I do love you

Overall Meaning

"But I Do Love You" by LeAnn Rimes is a beautiful ballad about the complexities of love. The first two lines of the song sets a theme for the rest of the lyrics, "I don't like to be alone in the night and I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right," expressing the fear of being alone and the frustration of being told that you are wrong when you know you are right. The singer then goes on to list things that she doesn't like, but then admits that even though there are things she doesn't like, she still loves her partner.


The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the song is relatable to anyone who has ever been in a relationship. The chorus, "Love everything about the way you're loving me, the way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep, and I love to kiss you in the rain, I love everything you do, oh I do," reveals that despite the singer's dislike of certain things, her love for her partner is strong enough to overcome any dislike or discomfort.
