Love is
Put you through changes
Tell me way, tell me way, tell me way
It must be love that's on your mind
You doin' things, you wouldn't before.
And you outta know
Inside-I-I-ide
Can't control it but it takes you over
Love will make you oh so sad
Make you cry-why-why-why
Changes
Love changes, Love changes
That's what love puts you through
Love changes, Love changes
Changes
That's what love makes one do
Love changes
Wonderin' if it's real this time
Just not another half-goodbye
You walk around starry eyed
Can't believe that love would hurt again
Hurt again
I can't believe that this love will
Love will make you oh so happy
Inside
Can't control it but it just takes you over
Love will make you oh so sad
Make you cry
Changes
Love changes, Love changes
That's what love puts you through
Love changes, Love changes
Changes
That's what love makes one do
Love changes
You know what Mary?
Yeah Jamie
All I wanna do is just get back to the basics
I wanna get back to to lovin'
Get back to huggin'
Get back to carin'
Get back to sharin'
Get back to understandin'
Everything we do
Get back to even teachin'
Teach me please
Get back to lovin' your woman
Get back to lovin' your man
Get back to cookin' for your man
Whenever you hungry baby
Changes
Love changes, Love changes
That's what love wants to prove
Love changes, Love changes
Changes
Love will make you oh so happy inside
Love will make you oh so sad make you cry
Love will make you oh so happy inside
The lyrics of "Love Changes" by Jamie Foxx are a reflection on the transformative power of love. The song speaks to the idea that when one falls in love, they undergo a significant shift in their mindset, behavior, and even personality. The first verse of the song highlights this concept by pointing out how love puts one through changes that they might not have experienced before. It acknowledges the fact that love can be a confusing and overwhelming experience that can leave one feeling disoriented and unsure of what to do.
The chorus of the song reinforces this idea by stating that "love changes" and that it is what "love makes one do." Love has the power to take over one's mind and emotions, making them experience extreme highs and lows. The contrasting words like "happy" and "sad" highlight this fact, emphasizing how love can be both a beautiful and painful experience.
The final part of the song sees Jamie Foxx and Mary J. Blige discussing the importance of getting back to basics in relationships. They encourage couples to prioritize simple things like understanding, sharing, and caring as a way of strengthening their bond. This is a subtle reminder that amidst all the changes love brings, the core values of a relationship should always remain intact.
Overall, Love Changes is a beautiful exploration of the transformative power of love and a beautiful reminder of the need to focus on the simple things that make relationships work.
