"I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" is a mid-tempo song that samples DeBarge's Stay with Me." The song is referencing the phrase "me love you long time" that was said by the Da Nang Hooker in Full Metal Jacket, which was later sampled in 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny". The song was talked about in MTV News. The phrase was used many times in songs by the likes of Nelly Furtado (Maneater) and Fergie (London Bridge). Both of the female singers said that, to them, the phrase is an empowerment to women. Margaret Cho and the Asian Community saw it as a racial slur. But Carey "corrects the grammar, so the connotation changes."
I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
(I'll be lovin')
You ain't even gotta worry
About a thing I gotcha babe
And ain't nobody takin' me away
It's not a game I'm here to stay
Our love is stronger than any drug
Addictive just can't get enough
And every time I'm with you
I want some more
Just close the door
And let's explore each other
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
(I'll be loving you long time)
As I can breathe
(I'll be loving you long time)
Eternally)
Don't care what no one has to say
They don't understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there ain't nothin' we can't do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot where no one knows
Spend a little time just us alone
You can caress my body and never let go
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can breathe)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
I don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
(I'll be lovin')
I'll be loving you a long time
I'll be loving you a long time

Ain't gon' never be another
There will never be another like you
Can't nobody do what you do to me
No one can make me feel the way you make me feel
I'll be loving you a long time
