“i saw that someone is selling this on iTunes. i gave this away for free since it’s incomplete and a rough. thought it was wack someone did that without my permission. so i put it up here.“
Some speculate that the track was cut from Because the Internet, and the song’s haunting guitar riffs strongly resemble the album’s fourteenth track, “Flight of the Navigator.”
What Kind of Love
Childish Gambino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What kind of love don't die alone?
What kind of love would take this long?
What kind of love don't make it home?
Meet me at the studio, I just want to play you something
Meet me at the studio, I just want tell you something
Even though we're far apart
Can't remember how to solve... the lies
You like to call me koala
I'll be your Simba, you're Nala
Where ever you go I'll follow, the lies
Drove for hours just to see your face... "Sorry."
Drove for hours just to see your face
Should of talked just if just to clear the space
But now we stare at each other, bury whatever feeling that was...
He text to keep your heart d-stacks, keep your heart
These girls are smart d-stacks these girls are smart
Don't know
Why get a dog its just gonna die?
Everything we love is just going to leave you one day
And that's just real shit he can still spit but whats the point?
I said a lot of stupid stuff. I think that I was growing up
What kind of love don't hurt so bad?
What kind of love don't feel this way?
What kind of love would make me fall?
Little lies
"What Kind of Love" is a song by Childish Gambino that explores the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics are full of questions, indicating that the singer is struggling to understand the kind of love he is experiencing. In the first verse, the singer asks what kind of love stays the same, indicating that perhaps the love he is experiencing has changed, and he is struggling to come to terms with it. He also asks what kind of love doesn't die alone, suggesting that he is afraid of being left behind.
The second verse introduces the idea of lies in the relationship. The singer urges his partner to meet him at the studio, where he can tell her something important. He questions her disbelief in his love and addresses the lies that have been told between them. He also suggests that his partner is calling him Koala, and he is willing to follow her wherever she goes. However, the song ends with the singer stating that everything we love is just going to leave us one day, and he reflects on his mistakes and growth over the years.
