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 with You
Leroy Hutson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
'Cause I'm so in love with you, baby
(So in love)
Said I'm so in love with you, baby
(So in love)
(Ooh, Ah)
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
'Cause I'm so in love with you, baby
Said I'm so in love with you, baby
(So in love)
The lyrics of Leroy Hutson's song "So in Love with You" are a classic ode to love and devotion. The singer starts by saying that he doesn't know what it is about the girl that keeps her on his mind, but he knows that she has a hold on him like no one else. He is completely enamored with her and the way she makes him feel each and every time they're together. He declares his love for her, saying that he's "so in love" with her, and that his feelings are genuine and heartfelt.
The singer then tells the girl that all she has to do is say the word and he'll be by her side, ready to support her and show her the love she deserves. He assures her that she doesn't have to worry about being too picky or demanding with him; he's the one who's begging for her attention this time. He then repeats the refrain about how much he loves her, emphasizing his deep feelings and commitment.
In the final verse, the singer asks the girl if she can understand just how much he loves her, and expresses frustration that she sometimes "doesn't get it." But he keeps telling her that she's the one who's going to be with him through "endless time," indicating a belief in a lifelong commitment with her. The song ends with another declaration of his love, complete with the signature "ooh, aah" sound that characterizes Hutson's smooth and soulful style.
