1. Ambrosia was a California, United States band formed by David Pack (guitars, vocals), Christopher North (keyboards), Burleigh Drummond (drums) and Joe Puerta (bass, vocals). On their self-titled LP in 1974, they blended quirky progressive rock with lush harmonies and scored hits with the offbeat song Nice, Nice, Very Nice and the ballad Holdin' on to Yesterday. Their subsequent albums focussed more and more on the pop ballads and less and less on the progressive elements, and while they had some success with singles, they called it quits after 1982's Road Island. Ambrosia re-formed in the late 90s and continue to tour and enterain their fans. A live CD Live at the Galaxy was released in 2002, and they are currently recording a new studio album that long time fans are hoping will be released in 2009.

How Can You Love Me
Ambrosia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now, that the hurtin's over all I've got to say
(Is) that I know
Sure as I am living
It takes more than forgiving
'cause it ain't been easy
I know you did your best to please me
After all the years we've tried
After all the tears you've cried
After our love has died
Babe, I've seen some pretty faces everywhere I go
I say now
Maybe I ain't the same person that you used to know
But I know
In my heart I'm livin'
For the love you've given
And the foolish thing about it
Is that I thought I'd live without it
How can you love me
When you know I've been with someone else
And I ain't too happy with myself
But I keep on comin' back around
Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm gone forever
(I'm gone forever)
Ooh, it gets so hard to wait
(It gets hard to wait)
Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better
Well, I know that somethin' is surely wrong
When I feel this way, well I can't go on and on
In the song "How Can You Love Me," Ambrosia's lead vocalist is reflecting on a past relationship, admitting that it took a long time to come to terms with the pain and hurt he experienced. Even though he has forgiven his significant other, he acknowledges that it takes more than just forgiveness to continue a relationship, especially after all the difficulties they have faced. The singer expresses doubt in their reconciliation, questioning how his partner could still love him after all they have been through, including the tears and the failed attempts to make their relationship work. He admits to seeing other people but ultimately realizes that he wants to be with the person he is singing to.
Throughout the song, the lyrics express a sense of confusion and struggle, as the singer grapples with his emotions and the complexities of his relationship. The bridge of the song highlights the distance between the two and the frustration that comes with it, but it also signals a realization that something needs to change for them to be content. The song is a poignant reflection on the challenges that come with navigating a past love, and the hope for a brighter future with the person they still love, despite everything.

I'm truly gone, perhaps for good.
Ooh, it gets so hard to wait
It's difficult to be patient.
(It gets hard to wait)
Waiting becomes a challenge.
Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better
Our distance is causing our issues to worsen.
Well, I know that somethin' is surely wrong
I am aware that there is an issue.
When I feel this way, well I can't go on and on
When I feel this overwhelmed, I can't continue as usual.
