Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah
Uh huh
Yeah, I've been waiting on you for a while
I need to find my Valentine (find my Valentine)
Cupid had to shoot me with an arrow
And now I'll never let you go (never let you go)
You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be
My Valentine (hey)
You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be
My Valentine, my Valentine, oh
Tell you the truth, ima' get you right (get you right)
I just need one night
Tell me the truth are you with me or not? (with me or not)
'Cause when I looked in your eyes, I knew that
You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be
My Valentine (hey)

You were meant to be, oh I said
You were meant to be

"Forever Love."

God is Love. Our First Love.
Let us first come back to our First LOVE [Heavenly Father God, Our Creator, Lord & Savior], Repent of our sins in Christ Jesus' name, so we can love our families right, like God ordained it to be so from the foundations of the earth.

[37] Jesus said, ..., Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22 Verses 34-40 - Bible, King James

1 John 4:20
โ€œIf a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?โ€

John 13:35
By this shall all men [mankind] know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.

Only those that still believe in โ€œold school loveโ€ will be able to listen and to understand music meant for the soul.

Only thing is, people like Charlie Wilson are rare these days, and he ain't no spring chicken. He will be missed. Not getting enough recognition I feel.
