G. Love Feat. Jack Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only care about you
And I don't care what you say
Are you coming my way
And I don't care what your mama say
And I don't care what your papa say
And I don't care what your friends say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Come on and take a ride
Come on and take a ride
I got to give it to you
I got to give it to you
I got to give it to you
I got to give it to you
And I was all out of luck
You brought me the jackpot
All out of luck
The kissing and the hugging
On a nervous breakdown
I tell you a little something
I want to thank you babe
You kept me from buggin
Na na na na... (X4)
Well let me tell you about a girl I met one time
She got the looks and the books gotta make her mine
She told me things that nobody ever told me
And if she taught me well I learned that I loved
All the time we would spend in the night just talking
The morning I would leave her, then I'd come back knocking
For you girl
Always looking for you girl
Always looking for you girl
I got to give it to you
All of my loving
I got to give it to you
All my kissing and hugging
I got to give it to you
Don't you know I got to give it
I got to give it to you
So pretty mema come on with it
And I was all out of luck
You brought me the jackpot
All out of luck
The kissing and the hugging
On a nervous breakdown
I tell you a little something
I want to thank you babe
You kept me from buggin
Na na na na... (X4)
In this song, G. Love & Special Sauce express their deep feelings of love for someone. The lyrics could be interpreted as the singer telling their lover that they don't care about anyone else's opinions or judgments of their relationship, as long as they are together. The opening lines of "I don't care what you do, I only care about you, and I don't care what you say, are you coming my way" represent the singer's unwavering love and dedication to their partner. They want to take their lover out for a ride and shower them with all their love and affection.
The second verse of the song tells a story of how the singer met and fell in love with a girl. The girl taught the singer things that nobody ever told them, and they were grateful for the lessons they learned in love. They enjoyed spending time together, even if it was just talking all night long. The singer would leave in the morning but would always come back, knocking on the girl's door, striving to always be with her. The chorus continues, with the singer asserting that they have to give all their love, kissing, and hugging to their lover. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus and the verse "And I was all out of luck, You brought me the jackpot, All out of luck, The kissing and the hugging, On a nervous breakdown, I tell you a little something, I want to thank you, babe, You kept me from buggin."

I tell you a little something
Let me express my gratitude
I want to thank you babe

You kept me from buggin
You prevented me from losing it
Well let me tell you about a girl I met one time
Allow me to share a story of a special lady
She got the looks and the books gotta make her mine
She was beautiful and intelligent, I had to have her
She told me things that nobody ever told me
She helped me see things in a new way
And if she taught me well I learned that I loved
She showed me what true love is
All the time we would spend in the night just talking
We enjoyed each other's company for hours on end
The morning I would leave her, then I'd come back knocking
I couldn't stay away from her
Always looking for you girl
I never stopped searching for her
Don't you know I got to give it
I can't hold back my love any longer
So pretty mema come on with it
I'm ready for you, my beautiful lady
All of my loving
I offer all of the love I have
All my kissing and hugging
I want to express my affection physically too
Na na na na... (X4)
