Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being here with you
Being near with you
I can't explain myself
Why I, feel like I do (like I do)
Though it hurt me so
To let you know
When I look in your eyes
How you feel
Let me know that love is really real
Well, it seems to me
That I'm
Wrapped up in your love
Don't you know that I'm
Still in love (still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, yeah
Heaven knows that I'm
Still in love (still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey
And I look in your eyes
And all, all the years, I see (I see)
Me lovin' you
And you lovin' me
Well, it seems to me
That I'm so wrapped up in your love
Don't you know that I'm
Still in love (still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey
I, I, I
I need you to know that I'm
Still in love (still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you
Yeah, I'll try it if you want me too (still in love, in love with you)
I, I, I, I, I

My mother’s favorite singer. She has been gone 20 years. I listen to Al Green all day to celebrate her on the anniversary of her death and on her birthday. I can still see her in my mind dancing and singing along to this song. Telling me to get up and dance with her.
