Love You No More
Akon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't do your make up for me no more
Don't clean the place up for me no more
We sleep and wake up
Make love no more
No late night movies with me no more
Play fighting jacuzzis with me no more
Don't shake your booty for me no more
Can't speak no more
Yeah, girl
I just wanna be a better man
I'm far from an angel or reverend
The streets tryna make a brother sell again
But I just wanna hold hands with you again
Why why would you think I don't love you no more
No more no more no more no more
Why why would you think I don't love you no more
No more no more no more no more
No dirty dancing 'tween us no more
And no romancing 'tween us no more
There's no affection 'tween us no more
There's no direction where do I go
They wanna see us let go but I'm sure you know
That I will never walk out that door
And I'm sure you know
That I will be there to fight for you and will look out for you
Even though you were letting go
You will always be my only
No I'll never leave you loney
You're my friend, you're my homie
I'm coming home-y
I just wanna be a better man
I'm far from an angel or reverend
The streets tryna make a brother sell again
But I just wanna hold hands with you again
Why why would you think I don't love you no more
No more no more no more no more
Why why would you think I don't love you no more
No more no more no more no more
Wanna let you know that I'm like your shadow
And no matter where you go my heart will follow
Even though you've seen a lot, heard a lot
One thing's for sure is we're all we've got
Hope to ease the pain by telling you just one thing
That I'll always love you
I just wanna be a better man
The streets tryna make a brother sell again
But I just wanna hold hands with you again
Why why would you think I don't love you no more
No more no more no more no more
Why why would you think I don't love you no more
No more no more no more no more
In Akon's "Love You No More," the singer laments the loss of intimacy and connection between him and his partner. The opening lines describe the ways in which his partner no longer makes an effort to impress him or keep the spark alive in their relationship. The singer misses the little things: waking up and making love, play-fighting in the jacuzzi, watching late-night movies, and seeing his partner dance. He wonders aloud why his partner would think he doesn't love her anymore, and promises to be there for her despite their difficulties.
The verses of the song detail the struggle that the singer faces in his daily life. He acknowledges that he is "far from an angel or reverend" and that the streets are trying to pull him back into a life of crime. However, he remains committed to his partner and to being a better man for her. He wants to hold her hand and show her affection, but feels that they're drifting apart. Despite this, he promises to always love her and be there for her, no matter what.
Overall, "Love You No More" is a heartfelt song about the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in the face of outside pressures and personal struggles. Through its lyrics, Akon depicts the longing, pain, and commitment that come with loving someone deeply.
