Love Thang
Michelle Williams feat. Dawkins & Dawkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could see if i'd done something noble,
incredible or simply wonderful
Then i'd understand just why you care for me
Saved a child from the building on fire,then fed
all the hungry supplied their needs
Then maybe it would make more sense why you
dare to love me,but
CHORUS
I can't figure out this love thang
Though we've talked about it all before
But the truth about this love thang,no one else
can love me more
VERSE 2:
Ran to others part time lovers for comfort
Lord i'm sorry I must have been out of my head
Tell me how many times did I manage to break
your heart oh yeah
said I'd do but I didn't,no I should but I wouldn't .
in spite of it all stil You said
I'm so in love with you
CHORUS
In Michelle Williams’ song “Love Thang”, she sings about her confusion and inability to understand why someone could love her so deeply despite her flaws and mistakes. In the first verse, she contemplates that perhaps if she had done something remarkable or selfless, she could understand why someone would care for her so much. But the reality is that she cannot make sense of this “love thang” even though they’ve talked about it before. She acknowledges that no one else can love her more than this person, but the confusion remains.
In the second verse, Williams acknowledges her past mistakes and potentially hurtful actions towards her partner, admitting that she sought comfort in other romantic partners. She recognizes the pain that she may have caused them and how difficult it must have been to forgive her. Yet despite all of this, this person still loves her deeply and tells her so.
Overall, the message of this song is one of self-reflection and gratitude for the love of another. It highlights the difficulty of understanding why someone would choose to love us despite our shortcomings and mistakes.
