I, I'm I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Ooh, loving you forever

Lovin' you whether, whether

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, somebody, why people break up?
Oh, then turn around and make up

The song is about Al Green's desire to remain with his partner through thick and thin. It is a testament to the power of love, and how it can conquer all obstacles. The song's lyrics are a declaration of love, with Green expressing his unwavering commitment to his partner, regardless of what happens in their relationship. He makes it clear that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, and that he will always be there for her, no matter what.
