Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until the end of time
I'll be there 4 you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God one day stroke me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is 2 weak 2 define
From the first moment I saw you
Ooh, I knew you where the 1
That night I had 2 call you
I was rappin' till the sun came up
Tellin' you just how fine you look
In a word, you were s**
All of my cool attitude you took
My body was next
You made love 2 me
Like you where afraid
Was you afraid of me?
Was I the first?
Was I your every fantasy?
That's why
Until the end of time
I'll be there 4 you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God one day stroke me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is 2 weak 2 define
Just what you mean 2 me
When we be makin' love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels cryin' up above
Tears of joy pourin' down on us
They know we need each other
They know you are my fix
I know, that you know that I ain't cheatin' baby
They know this is serious
I ain't funkin' just 4 kicks, no
This condition I got is crucial, crucial baby
You could say that I'm a terminal case
You could burn up my clothes
Smash up my ride, well maybe not the ride
But I got 2 have your face
All up in the place
I'd like 2 think that I'm a man of exquisite taste
A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace
But nothin' baby, I said nothin' baby could compare
2 your lovely face
Do you know what I'm sayin' 2 ya this evening
I'm just tryin' 2 say
I'm just tryin' 2 say
That until, until the end of time
I'll be there 4 you
I'll be there 4 you
On my heart, on my mind, (truly adore U)
I truly adore you (darlin')
You don't know what you're mean 2 me
Baby, (until the end of time)
Baby, (I'll be there 4 U)
Baby, (you own my heart and mind)
'Til the end of time I'll be there 4 you
(I truly adore U)
Adore you (adore U)
Can I talk 2 you? {{chorus repeated in background}}
Tell you what you mean 2 me
Every time you wander
I'll be your eyes so you can see
I wanna show you things
That I show no other, I wanna be
More than, more than your mother
More than your brother
I wanna be (like no) like no other
If you need me, I'll never leave
I know, that you know, without you there is no me
There is no me
Without you there is no sea
There is no shore
Love is 2 weak 2 define how much I adore
You, child
You, child
The last words you hear
The last words you hear
(until the end of time)
I'll be there for you, baby
(until the end of time)
Be with me darlin' til the end of time (until the end of time)
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my mind
I'll give you my body (until the end of time)
I'll give you my time (until the end of time)
(until the end of time)
4 all time I am with you
You are with me
(until the end of time)
You are with me, you are with me
