Love Story
Mariah Carey Lyrics

This is my love story
The singer is about to tell a tale of love and perseverance.

Boy meets girl and looks in her eyes
The story begins with the classic setup of two people falling for each other at first sight.

Time stands still and two hearts catch fire
The attraction between the two is so strong that everything else fades away and their hearts are ignited.

Off they go roller-coaster ride
Their relationship takes them on a thrilling, unpredictable journey, full of ups and downs.

Up and down and around
Their relationship is a wild ride, but they're both in it for the long haul.

Twisted all out they minds
The tumultuous nature of their relationship has caused them to lose their minds at times.

And then his friends
His friends have an opinion about his relationship and voice it to him.

Said "its too soon to settle down"
His friends think he's moving too fast in his relationship and should take things slower.

And then her friends
Her friends also have an opinion about her relationship and share it with her.

Said "he's a playa, slow it down"
Her friends think he's a player and she should take things slower in the relationship.

They couldn't be who they was
Their friends' opinions caused them to doubt themselves and who they were as individuals.

'Cause it just seemed like love
Ultimately, they knew that their love was real, despite what others said or thought.

Wasn't on their side
Their love seemed to be working against them, with their friends trying to pull them apart.

But this isn't just another love story
The singer wants to emphasize that their relationship is special and unique.

Together we'll make history
The singer believes that their love is powerful enough to be remembered and make a lasting impact.

I know because it's just too real
The feelings between the two are so intense and genuine that their love story is bound to be remarkable.

They'll be no end to our love story
The artist is confident that their love will endure forever and there's no limit to how much they can love each other.

And this ain't gon' end up Like that Casablanca movie, no
The singer believes that their love story won't resemble a classic Hollywood movie with a tragic ending.

This ain't no fairy tale or fiction
Their love story is real and not a made-up story from a book or movie.

This is truly ours for the eternity
Their love is permanent and belongs solely to them.

There's no end to our love story
The artist repeats that their love will never die or fade away.

Chapter two When they meet up again
The story moves forward to a new chapter, where the two are reunited after some time has passed.

Second time around See but they're just friends
Although they have a history, they're starting as friends this time around.

But the feelings still strong
Their attraction to each other is as strong as ever.

And it's been too long To be trippin' like they ain't been missing
They've been apart for so long that they can't ignore the fact that they've been missing each other.

They on the phone like Ay bay bay Let's meet up today
They're eager to see each other again and jump at the chance to meet up.

Got's bout an hour or two You might as well come through
They have a limited amount of time, but want to make the most of it by seeing each other.

We can make it like it was Just the two of us
They want to recapture the magic of their past relationship and be together like they used to be.

Back up on that roller-coaster Like we been supposed to
They want to get back on the emotional ride that their relationship takes them on, and it's a natural feeling.

Just when it seemed Like all the odds Were stacked against them
Despite facing many obstacles, they were able to overcome them and come out stronger.

They came back stronger then before Matter fact then some
Their love didn't just survive, but it flourished and became even stronger than it was before.

Stronger then pride Lookin' like them Lookin' like her, lookin' like him Stronger then hate And the whole world too Lookin' like me Lookin' like you
Their relationship is powerful enough to overcome societal barriers like racism, prejudice, and even individual identities. Their love trumps all.

Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end Ay bay bay it won't end, won't end, won't end
The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the eternity of their love and the fact that it will never come to an end.
