Love Unlimited Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, don't bother to love me like you do
The better it is the worst it is when it's over
If I had known I'd never would
Never let you love me so good, no, baby
Sometimes I wish I'd have never met you
You're so much better than all the rest
Where do you go once you know you've had the best
The better love is the worst it is when it's over
Baby, don't bother to love me like you do
Like you do, like you do
The better it is the worst it is when it's over
If I had known I'd never would
I never let you love me so good, no, baby
I love you more than I've loved anyone
Couldn't love you better if I tried
That's why I just can't be with anyone
It makes me feel so empty and sad
Better love is the worst it is when it's over
Baby, don't bother to love me like you do
The better it is the worst it is when it's over
If I had known I'd never would
I'd never let you love me so good
The better love is the worst it is when it's over
Baby, nobody could love me like you do
The better it is the worst it is when it's over
In Love Unlimited's song "I'm So Glad That I'm A Woman," the maker reflects on her experiences with love and the bitter sweet feeling of knowing that a great love will come to an end. Through her lyrics, she emphasizes that the better the love, the more painful it is once it is over. She acknowledges that the love she has received is great and that it would be difficult for her to ever forget her significant other. Despite their love, it's evident that the singer is aware that their relationship will not last forever, and she wishes it wasn't so.
The chorus, "The better love is the worst it is when it's over, Baby don't bother to love me like you do," is the most compelling part of the song. It expresses to the listener that the singer is aware of the forthcoming doom in their relationship. She doesn't want more love than she is aware will eventually hurt. Despite the conflicting emotions and uncertainty surrounding their love, she admits that she wouldn't have preferred it any other way. She cherishes the memories of the love they shared and the moments they spent together.
