My Lover Now
Charlie Major Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there's nothing to explain
so this is not the first time
you've given your heart away
i know i'm not the only one
who's ever looked into your eyes
down into your well of secrets
but all those other guys
who came in and out of your life
were just passers by
and you're my lover now
my lover now
where you've been or what you've done
don't matter no way, no how
'cause you're my lover now
you don't need to tell me darling
there's nothing i need to hear
i know it's not the first time
that you've held somebody near
i know i'm not the only one
who's ever tasted your sweet lips
felt the tenderness of your loving touch
and the passion in your kiss
but all who came before
walking in and out of your door
they all fell on their swords
and you're my lover now
my lover now
where you've been or what you've done
don't matter no way, no how
'cause you're my lover now
there's no future darling
in living in the past
i know i'm not the first one
but i swear i'll be the last
you don't have to say a word
there's nothing i need to know
so this is not the first time
you've been wlalking down this road
i know i'm not the only one
who's ever held in the dark
as you've called to the heavens
with all of your heart
but all those other guys
who came in and out of your life
they were passers by
and you're my lover now
my lover now
where you've been or what you've done
don't matter no way, no how
'cause you're my lover now
my lover now
oooh darling…
my lover now
In Charlie Major's song "My Lover Now," the singer is addressing his lover's past and assuring her that it does not matter to him. He acknowledges that he is not the only person who has been involved with her previously, but he believes that all of those others were just passing through her life. He views himself as the person who will remain by her side, hence why he calls her "my lover now." The singer reinforces that he does not need to know about her past or the people she was involved with, as he is content with the present moment.
The lyrics are a statement of unconditional love and acceptance, and they emphasize that what happened before does not have to dictate the present or future relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not worried about competition from other men or being compared to past lovers because he genuinely believes that his relationship with his lover is different from any she has ever encountered. Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that the past cannot be changed, but the present can be altered, and the two lovers can create a better future together based on their love.

I understand that this has happened before
you've been walking down this road
You have been on this path before
who's ever held in the dark
Who has ever held you in the darkness
as you've called to the heavens
As you have prayed to the heavens
with all of your heart
With all of your being
they were passers by
They were just temporary people in your life
and you're my lover now
But you are my lover now
my lover now
My love, you are mine now
