Serenading
DeBarge Lyrics

This is for the one you love, one you love, one you love
The song is dedicated to the person who is loved dearly

It's for the one you love
The song is specifically for the person who is loved

Baby, it says you've dropped down from Heaven,
The person is viewed as perfect and almost angelic in their appearance and character

How else can I explain the making of you?
The person is so incredible, that their existence can only be explained through divine creation

In all of my life I never met such a girl quite like you,
The person is very unique and stands out from everyone else the singer has ever encountered

Knowing that you're not present and my future,
The person is so important that they will be in the singer's future, even when they are not present physically

It warms my heart 'cause I've had myself a rocky past.
Despite a difficult past, the singer is happy because of the presence of the loved one

But right now I'm all smiles,
The singer is currently very happy

And it's you that I owe,
The singer feels indebted to the loved one for bringing happiness to their life

You made it possible!
The loved one is responsible for the happiness that the singer now experiences

So I, I'm serenading you,
The singer is expressing their feelings through song

Straight to ecstasy!
The song is meant to evoke feelings of intense happiness and pleasure

It's where I'm taking you,
The singer wants to take the loved one to a place of happiness and ecstasy through the song

'Cause you were made for me!
The singer believes that the loved one is meant to be with them

I was made for you!
The singer believes that they were meant to be with the loved one

So I celebrate our love with song,
The song is a celebration of the love between the singer and the loved one

With song, yeah!
The song is the perfect way to express the singer's feelings

And I'm lovin' how you take me for who I am,
The singer appreciates that the loved one accepts them for who they are, flaws and all

And you ain't try to change me into someone I'm not.
The loved one doesn't expect the singer to be anyone other than themselves

It's a beautiful thing when two people get along,
The singer is grateful for the positive relationship they share with the loved one

The way we do!
The singer feels that their relationship is very special

When I'm grazing my fingers, gently through your hair,
The singer is physically affectionate with the loved one

The sweetest melody soft can pop out of nowhere
The singer feels that the love between them creates beautiful music

And it takes full control,
The feeling of love completely consumes the singer

Girl is you that I owe!
The singer again expresses their gratitude towards the loved one

So I, I'm serenading you,
The singer is continuing to express their feelings through song

From night fall until
The singer's love for the loved one is constant

The sun comes breaking through,
The love is present both day and night

'Cause you were made for me!
The singer again expresses their belief that the loved one was meant to be with them

So I celebrate our love with a song,
The singer is still expressing their love through music

Yeah!
The singer is still feeling strongly about their love

Sometimes, gotta get your grown man, get your grown man on
The singer is saying that it's important to be mature, especially in a relationship

Every now and then,
Occasionally

Gotta get your grown man, get your grown man on
It's important to act like an adult and take responsibility for your actions

For your lady,
The singer is specifically addressing men and saying that they need to be mature for the sake of their partner

Get it on!
The singer is encouraging men to be responsible and mature in their relationships

This is for the one you love, one you love, one you love!
The song is once again dedicated to the person who is loved

Fade out
The music gradually fades out
