Love Me Now
John Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pulling me further
Further than I've been before
Making me stronger
Shaking me right to the core, oh
I don't know what's in the stars
Never heard it from above, the world isn't ours
But I know what's in my heart
If you ain't mine I'll be torn apart

I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now

I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now

Love me now (love me now)
Love me now (love me now)
Oh, oh, love me now, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Love me now (love me now)
Love me now (love me now)
I want you to love me now

Something inside us
Knows there's nothing guaranteed, yeah
Girl, I don't need you
To tell me that you'll never leave, no
When we've done all that we could
To turn darkness into light, turn evil to good
Even when we try so hard
For that perfect kind of love, it could all fall apart

And who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone?
Oh I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
And I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now

Love me now (love me now)
Love me now (love me now)
Oh, oh, love me now, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Love me now (love me now)
Love me now (love me now)
Love me now

Oh!
I don't know how the years will go down, it's alright
Let's make the most of every moment tonight

I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now

I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have
And I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I just wanna love you now

Love me now (love me now)
Love me now (love me now)
Oh, oh, love you now, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Love me now (love you now)
Love me now




Oh love you now
Oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song is about cherishing the moment and the person you love while you still have them. The opening lines, “Pulling me further, further than I’ve been before, making me stronger, shaking me right to the core, oh” speaks of the transformative power of being in love. The chorus which is repeated several times, “I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone, so I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have” is a message of urgency to love the person while they still can, as they are not sure what the future holds.


The lines “Something inside us, Knows there's nothing guaranteed, yeah, Girl, I don't need you, To tell me that you'll never leave, no” speak of admitting the reality of the situation, that nothing is guaranteed and how important it is to love fiercely. The song also acknowledges that even when two people love each other very much, there is no guarantee that things will work out, hence the lines, “Even when we try so hard, for that perfect kind of love, it could all fall apart”.


The song seeks to remind people about the importance of living in the moment and not taking their loved ones for granted. It is a reminder that time waits for no one, and that people should not wait for a perfect moment to express love. The song is an emotive and passionate message of love that can be enjoyed by anyone.
