Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you aren't, ah, ah, oh
And if only you could see into me
Oh, when you're cold
When you're on the outside, baby, and you can't get in
I will show you you're so much better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone
And you can't get back again
I will find you, darling, and I'll bring you home
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes, ooh
And in no time, you'll be fine
You think I'd leave your side, baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you aren't, ah, ah, oh
And if only you could see into me
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there, hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there by your side, baby (by your side, baby)
And, oh, when you're cold
I'll be there, hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there by your side, baby

Damn, I didn't know that, but musicians always write their BEST songs for their seeds.
I feel like Beyonce's "bigger" is just one example (and the whole Black is King project)
And Simi "Duduke" is musical perfection
Nas "I can" featuring his daughter...
I could go on and on

My family told me my mother sang this song for me at a family reunion when I was in prison. She was the only one who traveled to go see me. I got out and not even a year later she was killed in a hit and run. This song will forever hold a special place in my heart for my momma.She was only 49 years old when she passed.
