Because I Love You
DNH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anytime I started to fall
Cause love’s never been very kind to me, no baby
Not very kind at all
Until you
You stole my heart away
Somehow you helped restore my faith
And something I thought wasn’t for me
Because I love you
You’re the flame that sets my soul on fire
That special girl I pray for every night
That pretty melody
That plays over and over again in my head
Because I love you
(Forever stare at you and never get tired)
Honey I’m ready to spend my whole life with you
Cause I love you
(Yes I do)
I never thought in a million years
That I could feel the way that I feel, no
How I get butterflies (get butterflies)
Whenever your lips touch mine
I must confess my dear
That it was instantly right from the start
A special bond between you and my heart
How it skips a beat whenever our eyes meet
And simply said the reason being
Because I love you
You’re the flame that sets my soul on fire
That special girl I pray for every night
That pretty melody
That plays over and over again in my head
Cause I love you
(Forever stare at you and never get tired)
Honey I’m ready to spend my whole life with you
(I’ll say it again)
I love you (yes I do)
Girl I know there’ll be differences we have along the way
Where our views may not always be the same
But I swear I’ll try
To hear out your sigh
And compromise cuz I realize
That with you I wanna spend my life
Because I love you
You’re the flame that sets my soul on fire
That special girl I pray for every night
That pretty melody
That plays over and over again in my head
Because I love you
(Forever stare at you and never get tired)
Honey I’m ready to spend my whole life with you
Girl it’s all because
I love you
In DNH's song "Because I Love You," the singer reflects on how love has not always been kind to him. He used to run away anytime he felt himself falling in love. However, that all changed when he met the person he is now singing to. This person stole his heart away and helped restore his faith in love. Love that he never thought was meant for him now comes easily because of her. She is the one that sets his soul on fire, and he prays for her every night. He describes her as a pretty melody that plays over and over again in his head.
The singer confesses that he never thought he could feel the way he feels when he is with her. He gets butterflies every time she kisses him. From the moment they met, he felt a special bond between her and his heart. Whenever their eyes meet, his heart skips a beat. This is why he loves her. He wants to spend the rest of his life with her, even though they may have differences along the way. He promises to compromise and always try to hear out her sighs because he realizes that living the rest of his life with her is what he truly wants.
One interesting fact about "Because I Love You" is that it was released in 2004 and was considered one of the biggest UK garage tunes of that year. It was produced by its lead vocalist, Dennis Christopher, and its co-writers, Mark Hadfield and Darren Martyn. The song was also popular in the US, making it to the number one spot on Billboard's Dance Club Play chart.
Another interesting fact is that the song is a cover of a 1994 song by Stevie B. DNH's version, however, adds a more upbeat, garage vibe to the original, making it more danceable. "Because I Love You" was also featured on the popular video game, Grand Theft Auto IV, on its in-game radio station, Massive B Soundsystem.
Here are the chords for the song:
Intro: G, C, D, G
Verse: G, Bm, C, D
Chorus: G, Bm, C, D
Bridge: Em, D, C, D
Outro: G, C, D, G

Each time I listen to this song it reminds me of the woman I fell in love with 8 years ago and still love til this day and forever. That woman is the love of my life. This song goes out to my girl Cherry, I love you baby until the last beat of my heart. The only love that has ever been true, I have been blessed each day since I found you. Words can't express how much you mean to me and because I love you!
