More Love
Carnes Kim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Let it be soon, don't hesitate, make love, don't wait.
Open your heart and let my love come in.
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart
with more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

This is no fiction, this no act,
This is real, it's a fact.
I'll always belong only to you.
And each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you more love and more joy
than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

As we grow older, no need to fear,
'Cause when you need me I'll be here.
I'll be beside you every step of the way.
A heart that's truthful, and is keeping it youthful
With more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.




Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,

@williamg2552 - did you hear Tina Marie's version she did a good job on her version. Her's has a more of calypso flavor - check it out. It's not such a bad version.

I have to say that this is one of the BEST songs I have ever heard in my 67 years on Earth!
Thank you Smokey Robinson for writing this epic song and thank you Kim Carnes for an absolutely beautiful version.

@williamg2552

And thanks to THE MIRACLES for recording it...'cause SMOKEY sure as heck didn't record it ALONE !!

@74bshs

Yes, it is a really good song by Smokey Robinson, and an even better cover by Kim Carnes. The latter brings back some fond memories of the Summer of '80.

@mja91352

You really should have listened to more music!
