I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
Marc Broussard Lyrics

If I ever leave you baby
Acknowledgement of potential heartbreak.

You can say I told you so
Acceptance of responsibility for the consequences of leaving.

And if I ever hurt you, baby
Admission of the potential for causing harm.

You know I hurt myself as well
Recognition that hurting a loved one hurts oneself too.

Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Is it right for a man to act this way?

Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Questioning whether the singer wants their loved one to leave.

Said, "I love you, more than you'll ever know
Declaration of love exceeding what can be expressed by words.

More than you'll ever know"
Emphasis and repetition of the depth of love.

When I wasn't makin' much money
Singer's financial difficulties.

You know where my paycheck went
Singer's money went towards supporting their loved one.

I brought it home to you baby, oh oh
Singer's dedication to their loved one.

And I never spent a red cent, yeah
Singer's commitment to providing for their loved one.

Now listen to this
Introduction to another message.

I'm not tryin' to be, no no no no
Assurance that the singer has honest intentions.

Just any kind of man, no I ain't
The singer is not an average man.

I'm tryin' to be somebody
The singer is striving to be a better person for their loved one.

You can love, trust and understand
The singer's goal for their loved one's feelings.

I know, I know, I know, I know that I can be
Confidence in the singer's potential to be what their loved one needs.

The part of you that no one else could see
The singer can offer their loved one unique insights and understanding.

And I got to hear you say, I got to hear you say
The singer wants verbal affirmation from their loved one.

It's all right
Reassurance to the singer that things are okay.

I'm only flesh and blood
Humanity of the singer.

But I can be anything that you demand
The singer will try to be whatever their loved one needs at any given moment.

I could be King of everything
Singer's willingness to be a provider and protector for their loved one.

Or just a tiny grain of sand
Singer's willingness to be a supportive presence in even the smallest ways.

Who will tell me is that any way for a man to carry on?
Reiteration of previous question about appropriate manly behavior.

Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Repeat of an earlier question about wanting the loved one to leave.

I love you, more than you'll ever know
Full expression of love for the loved one.

Said, "I love you, I love you, I love you, hey hey"
Repetition of the declaration of love, with emphasis and enthusiasm.
