Boyz II Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my whole life with you
Ooh
Since, baby
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
And I'll never be untrue
So let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Ooh
Good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why people break up
And turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me
'Cause being around you is all I see
All I want to do is
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, baby, happy or sad
Let's, let's stay together, yeah
Loving you whether, yeah, loving you whether
Good or bad, baby, happy or sad, yeah
Good or bad, baby, happy or sad, yeah
Good or bad, baby, happy or sad, yeah
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, yeah, whether
Times are good or bad, baby, happy or sad
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about

I love Nate and Shawn... In fact Shawn is my favorite member of Boyz II Men, HOWEVER, WANYA should have sang ALL the verses of this. His voice is amazing.
Don't get me wrong, I love my other guys Nate and Shawn too, but there is just something about Wanya's voice. It has matured to be SOOO beautiful!

I love these guys but i'm 1% let down by this. they've sacrificed the very minimal arrangement of the original for beats and bongos and ...busyness, and too heavy-handed a groove. Whereas Al's version just glided along on almost just a ride cymbal and pure simplicity, we get a cluttered arrangement that i feel the boys are over-singing just that bit too hard to hat in order to get themselves heard above
