As Long As You Love Me
♫ Backstreet Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As long as you love

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me




What you did (I don't care)
As long as you love me

Overall Meaning

The Backstreet Boys’ hit song “As Long as You Love Me” is an emotional confession by the singer about being in love despite the risks and dangers. The lyrics describe how the singer is leaving everything in the hands of their lover despite the people around them warning against it. They are willing to risk everything just to be with their lover because they cannot get them out of their mind. The chorus is the repetition of the idea that the singer does not care who their lover is, where they're from, or what they've done as long as they love them. The singer says that even if their lover is on the run, they feel as though they are meant to be together. The song ends with the singer admitting that they’ve been trying to hide their love, but it shows when their lover looks into their eyes.


The song is an example of the boy band’s signature sound with an upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. It became a hit in 1997, reaching the top 10 in multiple countries. The song's lyrics have become an anthem for those in love, and its relatable message has made it a staple of '90s pop culture. The music video, featuring the Backstreet Boys in a warehouse setting, is also a classic of the era.
