My Love
Majid Jordan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pictured this going differently
I meant every word that I said
You should have spent more time listening
All the things that I put a hold on
All for you to hit me with a hold on
What makes you so ready right now
After I waited on you for so long
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you want to, why you want to
Why you want to, why you want to
I had an idea in my head
I pictured this going differently
Even when you sleep in my bed
I know you're not mine officially
And all the things I put a hold on
All for you to hit me with a hold on
What makes you so ready right now
After I waited on you for so long
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
You got your trophies
I know how you like to show 'em off and shine 'em up, and line 'em up, oh
I'm not your trophy, baby
I won't let you show me off or shine me up, or line me up, no
You got your trophies
I know how you like to show 'em off and shine 'em up, and line 'em up, oh
I'm not your trophy, baby
I won't let you show me off or shine me up, or line me up, no
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love
Why you want to, why you want to
Why you want to, why you want to
Why do you wanna be my love?
Why do you wanna be
The lyrics to Majid Jordan's song My Love seem to present a situation where the singer seems to be questioning the authenticity of his lover's feelings for him. The singer says that he had an idea of how things were supposed to go, but it didn't go as planned, and he expected his lover to listen to him more. Despite all the things the singer put on hold for his lover, she hit him with a hold-on attitude, and the singer wonders how she is suddenly so ready for love, considering he waited for her for so long.
The singer asks why she wants to be his love, questioning whether it's just for show. He repeats the question thrice, and it seems he is looking for an honest answer. The singer continues to say that he knows his lover likes to show off her trophies and shine them to line them up, but he won't let her do that with him. The singer asserts that he isn't her trophy, and she can't show him off or shine him up.
The song depicts a relationship where the singer feels like his lover is treating him as a trophy or an accessory to showcase to others rather than genuinely appreciating him. This can also relate to a broader societal issue where people use their partners as a means of validation or to show off. The singer calls out this behavior and demands a deeper connection.
Line by Line Meaning
I had an idea in my head
I had a plan for us,
I pictured this going differently
But things didn't turn out the way I expected them to be.
I meant every word that I said
I was sincere with everything I told you.
You should have spent more time listening
But you never gave me the chance to express myself fully.
All the things that I put a hold on
I made sacrifices and delayed some things for you.
All for you to hit me with a hold on
But you hit me with excuses and denied me what I wanted.
What makes you so ready right now
Why are you only ready now, after making me wait for so long?
After I waited on you for so long
I've been patient for a long time waiting for us to make progress.
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Are you just pretending to love me for appearance sake?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why do you want to be with me?
You got your trophies
You have your own achievements.
I know how you like to show em off and shine em, and line em up
You like to showcase your successes and feel proud of them.
I'm not your trophy, baby
But I'm not a trophy to show off, I'm a person.
I won't let you show me off or shine me up, or line me up, no
I won't let you use me to boost your own ego.
Why do you wanna be my love?
What reason do you have for wanting to be with me?
