Marc is best known for the songs "Where You Are" and "Home." Broussard previously released several independent efforts, including 2002's Momentary Setback which spawned the hit "The Wanderer", a song about self discovery. A re-worked version of the song appears on Carencro. As of July 2005, "Home" was released as a single.
Although Broussard is rather unknown, he is characteristically known and critically praised for his strong vocals. However, he has garnered an uptick in popularity thanks to a snappy tune "Must Be The Water" which is featured in television commercials on TNT for the 2008 NBA All-Star game held in New Orleans.
I've Been Loving You Too Long
Marc Broussard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stop now
You were tired and you wanted to be free
My love is growing stronger
As you became a habit to me
Yeah, I've been loving you a bit too long
With you my life has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
You were tired and your love was growing cold
My love was growing stronger
As our affair, affair grows old
And I've been loving you just a little too long
Lord, I can't stop now, no, no
I've been loving you just a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, no no no, no no
I've been loving you, oh, ooh
I've been loving you, ah babe
Oh, oh, I've been loving you
The lyrics of Marc Broussard's song "I've Been Loving You Too Long" tell a story of a person deeply in love with their partner, despite the fact that the partner is growing tired and distant.

Despite the partner's desire for freedom and their waning affection, the singer cannot stop loving them.
The song captures the pain and desperation of unrequited love, where one person gives all of their love and devotion to another who may not feel the same way. The repetition of the phrase "I've been loving you too long to stop now" emphasizes the singer's unwillingness to give up on their love, even when it may not be reciprocated.
