Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So what a pressure
Seven million people in the world trying to fit in
Keep it together,
Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know, girl
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances yeah yeah yeah
As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me
As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me
I'll be your soldier
Fighting every second of the day for your dreams, girl
I'll be your Hova
You could be my Destiny's Child on the scene girl, oh
So don't stress, don't cry,
we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As long as you love me
We could be starving,
we could be homeless,
we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me
As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me
