Inside My Love
Chanté Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two spirits, greeting, tryna carry each further
You are one, and I am another
We should be, one inside each other
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
My love, my love, my love
My love, my love, my love
Two strangers, not strangers
Only lacking the knowing
So willing, feeling
Infinite growing
While we're here, the whole world is turning
We should be, one, fulfilling the yearning
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
Say that you'll ride, inside this love with me
Come ride, inside this love with me
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love
You can see inside me, will you come inside me
Do you wanna ride, inside my love

The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this desire and the invitation for the other person to "come inside" and explore their love together.
The lyrics also suggest that the two individuals, though they may be strangers, have a strong connection and a deep understanding of each other. They are both willing to take risks and share themselves openly with one another, despite the uncertainty and risk that such vulnerability can bring. The use of the phrase "fulfilling the yearning" suggests that the two of them are fulfilling a deeply held longing within themselves by coming together in this way.
Overall, the song's lyrics paint a picture of a deep and powerful love that is both exciting and risky.

I remember when she sang this song on the TV show “New York Undercover”.....she’s always had a beautiful voice ♥️

That episode was actually the 1st time I ever heard Minnie Riperton's classic. Years later I heard Minnie's voice and bought the album the same day!

Indeed this song is a sound track of New York Under Cover Cop. I had a lend of the whole compilation Cd from an old child hood buddy of mine while in college. The song appealed to me instantly .

Chante did a wonderful job on this. Minnie would be proud. It makes me so emotional that young singers are paying tribute to Minnie in this way. I'm so blessed to have been old enough to remember and appreciate Minnie and her awesome talent while she was here. Thanks for posting this.
