I'm Still In Love With You
Al Jarreau / Al Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spending my day thinkin' 'bout you girl
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
You have to let me know
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

Overall Meaning

"I'm Still In Love With You" by Al Jarreau / Al Green is a soulful ballad about a man who is deeply in love with a woman and cannot stop thinking about her. The lyrics reflect his desire to be close to her and his fear of rejection. He is trying to understand why he feels the way he does and is hoping that she reciprocates his feelings. He knows that he has to express his emotions to her, but he is afraid that it will hurt him if she doesn't feel the same. He wants her to let him know how she feels and to assure him that their love is real.


The first verse of the song expresses the singer's feelings of being wrapped up in the woman's love. He is so enamored by her that he can't explain why he feels the way he does.

The chorus repeats the themes of the verses and reiterates the singer's love for the woman.

Friday 2/28/2020 I just put away first & only True Love. He passed on his B-day Mon. Feb. 10, 2020. We married July 23rd, 1975, right after my 18th b-day. My b-day is July 18. We had good times & hard times. But, he left this Earth knowing I loved him from the beginning & I loved him to the end. I keep crying cause I think of the good & the bad times. I was hoping & praying to have my husband, my sons father for another 3 years. He promised he would be here. He was greatly ill. I MISS HIM SO, though I know for certain I will see my first love, my only love again when I get to heaven. Love ur loves one as much as possible. Never tire of showing them & telling them how much they mean to u. God bless everyone that reads this. Babe, I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!

Heaven = Cruising in a 75' Cadillac, listening to AL Green on a long country road, during a summer afternoon eating an ice cream cone at slow speed while heading to a family cookout at grandma's house which is down a dusty path with tall cedar trees giving you a windy salute as they gently rock back and forth until sunset. I miss you grandma. See you soon.

@user-nb1dw7px9y

Yeah, you was jamming then.
