Stephen Marley
Yeah my love, oh oh
Shaggy! Uh
Yeah my love (yeah, my love)

And if I don't tell you, as much as I want to
Girl, my love for you is so strong
So come get some love, I've got so much for you
Girl, my love could do you no wrong
I'm not afraid to show you, just how much I love you
Girl, my love for you is so strong
Take the weight off your shoulders, just come on over
Girl, my love could do you no wrong
So strong, so strong
Girl, my love for you is so strong

Girl, any time that you need me, call
Even if a middle a the night
Woman, you are the yin to me yang
Touch the road, so we fly
We both then take flight
No other girl can drift inna your lane
Eveyting inna we make sure we did right
Give you all a me loving sincerely
Just make sure we keep the thing tight

Well, I might not be there, as much as I want to
Girl, my love for you is so strong (right)
Take that look of your face, baby love, don't you worry
Girl, my love could do you no wrong
Look what you do to me, you got me singing sweet songs
They're for you (that's right)
Girl, my love for you is so strong (yeah)
So come on over, I got plenty loving for you (let dem know)
Girl, my love could do you no wrong

Me, oh me, oh my
Love you baby girl, an' me nah tell no lie
Me, oh me, oh my
Haffi get your loving and me nah stop trying
Me, oh me, oh my
Love you baby girl, an' me nah tell no lie
Me, oh me, oh my
Haffi get your loving and me nah stop trying

Could a fly low or you could a fly high
Remember them?
I would never ever make the world run dry
Love is getting stronger as the days go by

And if I don't tell you, as much as I want to
Girl, my love for you is so strong
So come get some love, I've got so much for you
Girl, my love could do you no wrong
I'm not afraid to show you, just how much I love you
Girl, my love for you is so strong
Take the weight off your shoulders, just come on over
Girl, my love could do you no wrong
So strong, so strong
Girl, my love for you is so strong

A day without the shining sun
Is a day without your loving, baby
One look and we feel as one
'Cause that's how easy we communicate
No heart's got to find guarantee
Girl, your love can depend on me
If love, could sign a dotted line
You would surely see your name next to mine




And you would surely see your name next to mine
You would surely see your name next to mine

Overall Meaning

In Stephen Marley's song "So Strong," which features Shaggy, the singer proclaims his deep love for his romantic partner. He declares that his love is so strong that he is not afraid to show it and that it can do no wrong. He promises to always be there for his partner even if it means flying to her side in the middle of the night. He reassures her that she can depend on him and expresses his desire to be with her forever.


The lyrics are filled with powerful imagery and metaphors that describe the intensity and depth of his love. For instance, he compares their relationship to the yin and yang, two complementary forces that create balance in the universe. He also compares his love to the shining sun, which represents warmth, light, and life. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "so strong" several times, emphasizing the profound and unshakable nature of the singer's love.


One possible interpretation of the song is that it celebrates the power of love to overcome obstacles and bring people closer together. The singer's willingness to fly to his partner's side at any time and his commitment to keeping their love strong through thick and thin suggest that he believes in the transformative power of love. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody reinforce its positive message and add to its overall appeal.

So, .... "So Strong" is such a happy soulful song.. I especially love the part where you say " take that look off ya face". I get a real giggle from that, reminds me of one pic from the Loft in Atlanta, after your set on the turntables. You are such a timeless artist and much more, So many deep soul shakin songs, you definitely carry the Legacy Well, But... I do believe you have Really made Your Own Mark! The Best is Yet to Come!!!
