While he would enjoy the commercial success during a string of albums in the mid- to late '70s, he also lent his production and songwriting skills to several labelmates, including the Natural Four. After the closing of Curtom Records in 1980, Hutson's career diminished into obscurity with the exception of 1982's jazz-funk-tinged Paradise. However, he has maintained a strong cult following among soul collectors to this day, and in 2000 Sequel Records had the good sense to reissue not only the original albums on CD but a two-disc anthology spanning the greatest hits of his career.
So in Love
Leroy Hutson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what you have got girl, no baby
Or just what keeps you on my mind
I just know that you can do the things you do to me
Each and every single time.
And I'm so in love with you, baby (so in love)
Said I'm so in love with you, baby (so in love)
You just say you need my love girl, na na
And I'll be right there by your side
You don't have to be so particular with me, honey
I'm the one who's beggin' this time
Cuz I'm so in love with you, baby (so in love)
Said I'm so in love with you, baby (so in love)
(Ooo, Ahh)
Tell me can you understand me girl
I don't think you do sometime
I keep tellin you that you're the one
That who's gonna,
Be with me through endless time
Cuz I'm so in love with you, baby
Said I'm so in love with you, baby (so in love)
The first verse of "So in Love" by Leroy Hutson describes the singer's infatuation with a woman. He cannot pinpoint what it is exactly that makes him think of her constantly, but he knows that she has a special hold over him. He is aware that every time she is around, she has a way of getting under his skin. The repetition of "so in love" throughout the song emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings.
In the second verse, the singer speaks about the woman's need for love, and promises to be there for her whenever she needs him. He urges her not to be so guarded with him, as he is the one who is actively pursuing her. This verse illuminates the give-and-take dynamic that exists between the two characters in the song--the singer recognizes that he wants the woman more than she wants him, but he is willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work because he is so in love with her.
The song concludes with a plea from the singer for the woman to understand him. He wants her to believe that he is committed to her and that their relationship will stand the test of time. The song's upbeat tempo and smooth vocals create a romantic, feel-good atmosphere that reinforces the singer's message of love.
