Love
Musiq & Musiq Soulchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love
So many things I've got to tell you
But I'm afraid I don't know how
Cause there's a possibility
You'll look at me differently
Love
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name
From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause......

[Chorus:]
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joy and hurt
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Many days I've longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your kiss, for your touch, for your essence (your beautiful essence)
Many nights I've cried from the things you do
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you're real
With no doubt or no fears
Or no questions

[Chorus]

At first you didn't mean that much to me
But now I know that you're all I need
The world looks so brand new to me
Now that I found love
Everyday I live for you
And everything that I do I do it for you




What I say is how I feel so believe it's true
You got to know I'm true, love

Who's listening in 2024?!?!?

@condor8142

I am! This is one of the best songs in my time. Better believe that I've been around for decades, from Central Aftica , loving R&B. 😂
So I discovered this guy in 2000 while living in Atlanta through his first album (I think!). Instant fun! His voice, his R&B style, is mesmerizing!
