Can't Stop Lovin' You
Aerosmith feat. Carrie Underwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell from holy Moses mountain,
Where love’s a slippery slope
And all the others I've been hanging with,
Never gave me too much room
Then one day she came to me,
Love at first sight, head to toes
I love her wild, my mountain child
And that’s just how she goes
And here she got

Hey, I can’t stop loving you
'Cause it’s all I wanna do
Yeah the world needs more of this,
Tell me what you put into that kiss,
Now keep that coming on,
Let me hear my favorite song
Yeah you’re all I wanna do,
'Cause I can’t stop loving you

Got me a good old time and cowboy
He got my picture on the fridge
And the first time when he kissed me,
We was high up on the ridge
And when we came down from the mountain,
I will ride with my Mckean
And for all it costs, for getting lost,
There ain't no better sin,
Here we go again

You know I can’t stop loving you
Cause it’s all I wanna do
Yeah the world needs more of this,
Tell me what you put into that kiss,
Now keep that coming on,
Let me hear my favorite song
Yeah you’re all I wanna do,
'Cause I can’t stop loving you

When I wake up and see your face
All that jump in a picture lace
And that there’s nowhere else I would rather be
Then all tied up in this rhapsody

Hey, I can’t stop loving you
'Cause it’s all I wanna do
Yeah the world needs more of this,
Tell me what you put into that kiss, yeah
Now keep that coming on,
Let my hear my favorite song




Yeah you’re all I wanna do,
'Cause I can’t stop loving you

Overall Meaning

The opening line of the song Can't Stop Loving You by Aerosmith and Carrie Underwood sets the tone for an intensely romantic narrative, dripping with metaphorical allusions. The singer describes falling from holy Moses mountain, where love is a slippery slope. This could be interpreted as the idea that when it comes to love, there is no solid ground or fixed platform, but rather a continual, treacherous descent into unknown territory. The notion of "slippery slope" might also allude to the idea that falling in love is a dangerous and complex process, where one misstep could lead to catastrophic consequences.


Despite the risks, the singer goes on to describe a chance encounter with a wild and free-spirited woman, who captured his heart completely. This encounter is described as "love at first sight, head to toes" highlighting the full-body effect this new love has had on him. The use of "mountain child" creates an impression of this love interest as someone who is untamed and wild like the environment around her. The chorus emphasises the intensity of this love and desire to spend more time together, with the line "I can't stop loving you 'cause it's all I wanna do".


The second verse expands on this story of two lovers, with cowboy imagery evocative of the American West setting the scene. The couple's initial connection was so strong that their first kiss was shared on a mountaintop, which could be interpreted as a moment of purity and euphoria. The decision to ride on with the Mckean (or any other name that could rhyme) despite being lost, speaks to the unstoppable nature of their love, as if they are navigating through challenges together, regardless of the cost. The bridge is a tender moment of reflection for the singer, who realises that there is nowhere else he would rather be other than "all tied up in this rhapsody."


Line by Line Meaning

I fell from holy Moses mountain,
I have experienced a great fall from a high state of grace or happiness, similar to falling down a slippery slope


Where love’s a slippery slope
This place where I fell from is where love is unpredictable and dangerous


And all the others I've been hanging with,
Before meeting my current love, I spent time with other people who didn't really give me much space


Never gave me too much room
They never allowed me to be myself or gave me the freedom to express myself


Then one day she came to me,
But one day, my current love interest came into my life


Love at first sight, head to toes
I fell in love with her instantly, from the top of her head to the tip of her toes


I love her wild, my mountain child
I love her passionate and free spirit, like that of a child from the mountains


And that’s just how she goes
This is just who she is and I love her for it


Hey, I can’t stop loving you
I am completely and utterly in love with you


'Cause it’s all I wanna do
Loving you is the only thing I want to do


Yeah the world needs more of this,
The world needs more love like ours


Tell me what you put into that kiss,
What did you do to make that kiss so special and magical?


Now keep that coming on,
Please keep the love and affection coming


Let me hear my favorite song
I want to enjoy this moment and listen to my favorite song with you


Yeah you’re all I wanna do,
All I want to do is be with you


'Cause I can’t stop loving you
I love you too much to ever stop


Got me a good old time and cowboy
I have found a great guy who is a classic cowboy archetype


He got my picture on the fridge
He keeps a photo of me on his fridge, which shows he cares for me deeply


And the first time when he kissed me,
Our first kiss was incredibly memorable and special


We was high up on the ridge
We were at an elevated location when we shared this moment


And when we came down from the mountain,
After we were done enjoying the view, we decided to come back down to reality


I will ride with my Mckean
I will ride down with my cowboy, who goes by the name of Mckean


And for all it costs, for getting lost,
No matter what the cost or the consequences, we are willing to take risks and get lost in our love


There ain't no better sin,
To us, there is no greater sin than not loving each other fully


Here we go again
We're starting a new adventure in our love story


When I wake up and see your face
Waking up and seeing your face is the best part of my day


All that jump in a picture lace
The energy and joy we experience together is captured perfectly in a photograph


And that there’s nowhere else I would rather be
I am completely content being with you, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else


Then all tied up in this rhapsody
I am completely entangled in the beauty and ecstasy of our love

Lyrics by: S. Tyler & M. Frederiksen



I fell from Holy Moses mountain
Where love's a slippery slope
And all the others I've been hanging with
Never gave me too much rope

And then one day she came to me
Love at first sight head to toes
I love her wild my mountain child
And that's just how she goes
And here she comes....

Hey I can't stop lovin' you
'Cause you're all I wanna do
Yeah the world needs more of this
Tell me what you put into that kiss

Now keep it comin' on
Let me here my favorite song
Yeah you're all I wanna do
Cuza I can't stop lovin' you

Got me a good ole time-y cowboy
He got my picture on the fridge
And the first time that he kissed me
We was high up on the ridge

And when we came down from that mountain
On a ride with Mama Kin
Ah-and for all it cost for getting lost
There ain't no better sin
Here we go again

You know I can't stop lovin' you
'Cause it's all I wanna do
Yeah the world needs more this
Tell me what you put into the kiss

Now keep it comin' on
Let me hear my favorite
Yeah you're all I wanna do
Cuza I can't stop lovin' you

When I wake up and see your face
All wrapped up in a pigtail lace

And that there's nowhere else would I rather
Than all tied up in this rhapsody
In blue

Hey I can't stop lovin' you
'Cause it's all I wanna do
Yeah the world needs more of this
Tell me what you put into that kiss

Now keep it comin' on
Let me hear my favorite son
Yeah you're all I wanna do
Cuza I can't stop lovin' you
