Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care what time you get home
And I hate the fact that you live so damn close to me
I don't like that I can't stop thinking bout you
And I hate that you walk like you do (ohh baby)
But it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
And I just can't take it
It's your thighs, your lips, your calves, your lips,
It's your hair, did I mention your lips
[Chorus]
Why I behold you
Why do I want you
Always and forever
Always and forever
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
I don't want to be pickin' you up,
Taking you on dates and shi*
I don't wana be payin' your bills,
Gettin' you all spoiled and shi*
Don't want you to decorate my house but I can't help it
Girl you make me feel so comfortable
I'd be damned if I let you go (oh)
But it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
Girl it's just something bout ya
And I just can't take it
It's your thighs, your lips, your calves, your lips,
It's your hair, did I mention your lips
[Chorus]
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
I try hard to keep my cool but I
Can't live, I can't, I shake cause I'm
So strung on you
But its cool cause I'm gettin' all my hits from you
And girl it gets to me the way that I'm feelin'
It's so crazy cause I don't know how I'm dealin'
Girl if I lose you I'm done
'Cause I know you're that one
[Chorus]
Why I behold you
Why do I want you
Always and forever
Always and forever
'Cause girl you got it
I'm goin' keep it
Oh you got me trippin' on you
So that's why I want you
Always and forever
In the song "Always & Forever" by Houston Marques, the singer is expressing conflicted feelings towards someone he is clearly attracted to, but doesn't want to be. He doesn't want to be constantly thinking about this person, and he hates that they live so close to him. However, there is "just something about ya" that he can't resist. He lists physical attributes that he finds irresistible, including her thighs, lips, calves, and hair. Despite not wanting to be involved romantically, he admits that she "makes [him] feel so comfortable" and he can't bear to let her go.
The chorus repeats the phrase "always and forever" which suggests a desire for a long-lasting, committed relationship. However, the singer also acknowledges that he doesn't want to do traditional boyfriend/girlfriend activities like taking her on dates, paying her bills, or decorating his house with her. He seems to have conflicting emotions between his physical attraction to this person and his desire to maintain his freedom and independence.
Overall, the song's lyrics portray a struggle between the desire for a committed relationship and the fear of losing oneself in a partner. The singer is grappling with his conflicting emotions and the temptation to give in to his attraction, but also wants to maintain his autonomy.
