As Long as You Love Me
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what we had, oh
And I hate the fact we can't turn back
'Cause what I did
It hurt you bad, oh
And I know that I did you wrong
Know that I led you on
(Did you wrong, did you wrong)
But I was running blind
And I wish I took the time
To really ask you how you feel
So tell me now
How will I know if you really love me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
How will I know?
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Every night, I'm running wild to heal the scars
And clear my mind, oh yeah
But it's hard to find the space I need to contemplate
That you're not mine anymore
And I know that I did you wrong
Know that I led you on
Know that I did you wrong
(Did you wrong, did you wrong)
But I was running blind
And I wish I took the time
To really ask you how you feel
So tell me now
How will I know if you really love me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
How will I know? (How will I know?)
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
How will I know?
Oh, can you tell me?
I need to know, I need to know
How will I know if you really love me?
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know if you really love me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet (oh yeah)
How will I know? (How will I know?)
How will I know?
How will I know if you really love me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
How will I know? (How will I know?)
How will I know?
In "If You Really Love Me", David Guetta, MistaJam, and John Newman express their regret over a previous romantic relationship that fell apart because of their actions. The lyrics are filled with nostalgia as they look back on the relationship and wish they could turn back time to make things right. They acknowledge that they did wrong by leading their partner on and hurting them, but also admit that they were "running blind" and didn't take the time to truly understand their partner's feelings. The chorus asks the question of how they will know if their partner truly loves them, expressing a yearning for reassurance and a desire to make things right.
The song's lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and self-examination that is often absent from dance-pop tracks. The introspective tone of the lyrics is matched by the production, which features a restrained beat and simple piano melody that provides a backdrop for John Newman's soulful vocals. The song's melancholy mood is tempered by a sense of optimism and hopefulness, as the lyrics suggest that it might be possible to repair the relationship if both parties are willing to work at it. Overall, "If You Really Love Me" is a heartfelt and introspective take on the ups and downs of romantic relationships.

Lookin' back, lookin back' at the past

Lyrics:
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We're under pressure
Seven billion people in the world tryna fit in
Keep it together
Smile on your face, even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know girl
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me, love me
I'll be your soldier
Fighting every second of the day for your dreams, girl
I'll be your Hova
You could be my Destiny's Child on the scene, girl
So don't stress and don't cry
Oh, we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me, love me
As long as you love me
I don't know if this makes sense, but you're my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, I'll rendezvous it
I'll fly you to it, I'll beat you there
Girl, you know I got you
Us, trust, a couple things I can't spell without U
Now we on top of the world
'Cause that's just how we do
Used to tell me sky's the limit, now the sky's our point of view
Man, we stepping out, like woah, oh God
Cameras point and shoot
Ask me, "What's my best side"
I stand back and point at you, you, you
The one that I argue with
Feel like I need a new girl to be bothered with
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
It's green where you water it
So I know, we got issues baby, true, true, true
But I'd rather work on this with you
Than to go ahead and start with someone new
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me (I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (it's all I want baby)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (please, don't go)
As long as you love me, as long as you love me, 'long as you love me
