Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a love thang, yeah
Said it ain't no game
Ooh
It's a love thang, yeah
Don't say you love me
If it's not true
I'm stuck on you baby
It's just about to drive me crazy
The way you do
The things you do
I hope that this will never end
Boy, I couldn't stand being just your friend
This ain't no game
What it is
Ooh, it's a love thang
Yeah, it's a love thang
Said it ain't no game
What it is
Ooh, it's a love thang
Yeah, it's a love thang
When you run your fingers
All through my hair
I lose control
But boy, I don't care
I'm glad to know
That you feel the same way too
'Cause darling, I think the world of you
I hope that this will never end
'Cause boy, I couldn't stand being just your friend
Oh no
This ain't no game
What it is
Ooh, it's a love thang
Yeah, it's a love thang
Said it ain't no game
What it is
Ooh, it's a love thang
Yeah, it's a love thang
You treat me right
I'll be true to you
You treat me right
I'm yours tonight
You treat me right
I'll be true to you
You treat me right
I'm yours tonight
You treat me right
I'll be true to you
You treat me right
I'm yours tonight
First Choice's Love Thang has a theme of romantic love where the singer is expressing her feelings to the man she loves. The song emphasizes that the love they share is not a game but a serious matter of the heart. She cautions him not to say he loves her if it's not true, as she can't stand lies. She's been drawn to him, and his actions towards her are driving her crazy. Though she hopes that their love never ends and she couldn't stand being just his friend.
The chorus "This ain't no game, what it is, ooh, it's a love thang, yeah, it's a love thang" reinforces that their relationship is based on love, not a mere game. The lyrics emphasize that even the slightest actions, like the man running his fingers through her hair, make her lose control, and she's glad he feels the same way too. The song ends with the woman letting the man know that if he treats her right, she will be true to him and be his for the night.
