Love Always
DeBarge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't believe myself
But ever since you've been gone
I think of no one else
I've even tried to forget
But nothing can make me
I know that it's so hard to be true
Under the summer skies
At a thousand times
And every day you're away
It's drivin' me crazy
So I'll write you every night
And I'll sign my name ?Love always?
And even if the sun falls down
I will always be around
Forever and always
Darlin', if we both can wait
We'll have a time to celebrate
For the rest of our lives, love always
And lots of people I know
Try to shake your mind
But that can't happen to me
I'm not the jealous kind
No one can change what I feel
And nothing can make me
Still I'll write to every night
And I'll sign my name, ?Love always?
And even if the sun falls down
I will always be around
Forever and always
Darlin', if we can wait, oh
We'll have a time to celebrate
For the rest of our lives, love always
For the rest of our lives, love always
For the rest of our lives
We'll always be
So faithfully
Just hang on to me forever
So I'll write to every night
And I'll sign my name, ?Love always?
Oh, and if by now you haven't guessed
I will let one more be asked
For the rest of our lives, love always
For the rest of our lives, love always
I'll sign this letter to you ?Love always?
Oh, no
Oh oh oh
Oh, and if I do over and over again
Sign my name over in full
And at the end and rest of our lives, love always
Love always
Ooh
Sounds so good to me, oh
For the rest of our lives love always, oh
For the rest of our lives love always, oh
Oh, I, I gotta sing it for you
I don't wanna stop, sounds so good to me
Always

I got a secret for you
Can't believe myself
But ever since you've been gone
I think of no one else
I've even tried to forget
But nothing can make me
I know that it's so hard to be true
Under the summer skies
I'll write your name in my Book
At least a thousand times
And every day you're away
It's drivin' me crazy
So I'll write you every night
And I'll sign my name "Love always"
And even if the sun falls down
I will always be around
Forever and always
Darlin', if we both can wait
We'll have a time to celebrate
For the rest of our lives, love always
And lots of people I know
Try to shape your mind

I'm not the jealous kind
No one can change what I feel
And nothing can make me
Still I'll write to you every night

For the rest of our lives
We'll always be
So faithfully
Just hang on to me forever
So I'll write you every night
And I'll sign my name, "Love always"
Oh, and if by now you haven't guessed
I will add one more P.S.
For the rest of our lives, love always
For the best of our lives, love always
I'll sign this letter to you "Love always"
Oh, know it
Oh... oh... oh... I Love you baby
Oh, and if I do over and over again
Sign my name over in full

Momma Bear
ABSOLUTELY 💯 💯 💯 ❤❤❤
Rakim
El is not underated people love him🎉🎉🎉🎉
VirtuallyAnalog
2021. Still timeless. Great writing and production on that whole album.
Jayaplane713
He was so underrated as a solo artist. His music is great.
Tana
I agree. I would like to hear his music back on the radio. In the last couple years, he made a new album which shows how much his music has expanded. He became a Christian and he is off drugs and has begun a new life. I pray he is finally at peace and can enjoy the rest of his life without any more problems.
Thali Thal
As a member of the young generation I agree with u 💯
Marty Marl
I did not appreciate him when i was younger. I think everyone was caught up in Michael's hype machine...Now I listen to El and i am in total awe...his live videos are even better
Sharon Jones
He wasn’t underrated in the African American community. He is “unsung” because of some issues. However, he is strong and is continuing to overcome them. He’s still around. <3
