Love Still Good
Chico DeBarge Lyrics

Is the love still good (Still good, baby)
Asking if the love between them is still as strong as it used to be

You gotta know
He wants to know the truth about their love

You know I'm free
He's out of prison and has a fresh start with his life

Out on parole
He's released from prison on parole

Just got my papers, honey
He's informing his lover that he's finally free

I'm really home
He feels like he's finally back where he belongs

So what's going on, suga
He's curious about his lover's life and wants to catch up

How is your life, baby
He wants to know how his lover has been doing while he was in prison

It's so good to be back
He's happy to be out of prison and back with his lover

You're still fine as the day we met
He still finds his lover as attractive as he did when they first met

Oh, I heard you got babies, that's cool
He's excited to hear about his lover's children

Do they play at the park where we used to make love after dark
He's reminiscing about intimate moments shared between them

I didn't know
He wasn't aware of something

I was your first
He was his lover's first love or sexual partner

I was your soldier, baby
He was committed to her and always by her side

Everything real
Their love was genuine and authentic

But you found another
She moved on and found someone else

And I understand, lover
He is okay with her decision to move on and he gets it

'Cause I lost my brother
He understands loss and the pain it brings

From the war on drugs
His brother died as a result of drug addiction

Got so much, baby
He has a lot to offer his lover

I could offer you
He has things to offer besides just love

I'm a man, not the boy that I was
He's grown and changed since they've been apart

So why gamble with life in the streets when I got you at home, baby
He doesn't want to risk his life when he already has someone who loves him

I remember back in the day
He recalls memories of the past

We used to vibe around the way
They used to enjoy each other's company and have fun together

You told me you loved me, wish I had stayed
He regrets not staying with her

Right there in your arms underneath the stars
They enjoyed romantic moments together

We still made beautiful love
Their physical intimacy was special to them

Every night, every day
They were very intimate frequently

We would wake up
They were in love and happy together

To a brighter morning, baby
They were happy and optimistic about the future

Why did you walk out on me, baby
He's hoping to get an answer to why she left him

When I went down
When he was in prison

I still remember every night in your basement
He thinks about the intimate moments they shared and how sensual they were

There in the dark, we made love
They had a lot of intimacy-related memories

Your lovin' was so sweet, reminiscin'
He thinks about how sweet and loving she was to him

We got much time, baby, to catch up, oh, lady
They missed each other's company but there's still time to catch up

So let's take our time, baby
They should take it slow

Get to know each other all over again
They've been apart for a while, so they need to get reacquainted

I'm not the same boy, I'm a man, lady lover
He's matured and grown into a man with greater love abilities

Oh, lover, lover
He's passionate about his love for her

Oh, baby, do you still wind it up like you used to back in the day
He's curious about whether they still have the same fire in their intimacy that they used to have
