Realove
Musiq (Soulchild) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fine as the autumn sun with a heart of gold, yeah
One day we talked about some men in her past
Cause I was just trying to understand
Why it's always like she always tried to hide
What it is she feels or what's on her mind
When it comes to love
And hurt her again someday
[Chorus]
All of her life she never had
Someone show her what it means
To have or be in real love
She never had a man who was kind to her
Never told her I love you without getting hurt, no
Some people say she's bitter some think she's scared
Some people say she thinks nobody cares
Now she walks around and protects her heart
Never looks for love
Lives behind a wall
Tell it to herself all men are all the same
Cause that's how it is
And that is such a shame
[Chorus]
In "Realove" by Musiq (Soulchild), he sings about a girl he knows from way back who has never experienced real love. Even though she's a beautiful person with a heart of gold, she always seems to hide her feelings and thoughts when it comes to love. She gets afraid that someone will hurt her again someday. Musiq tries to understand why she's always afraid of getting hurt. She's never had a man who showed her what it means to have or be in real love. No one has ever told her "I love you" without breaking her heart.
The girl now lives behind a wall, protecting herself from any possible hurt. She never looks for love and thinks that all men are the same. Some people think she's bitter, while others believe she's scared. By doing this, she's missing out on something beautiful. Musiq feels sad for her and believes it's such a shame that she's never had real love. The song emphasizes the importance of experiencing real love and how it can change someone's life.

I know this girl from way back some time ago
I have known this girl for a long time
Fine as the autumn sun with a heart of gold, yeah
She is beautiful with a kind heart
One day we talked about some men in her past
One day we discussed some of the men she had dated
Cause I was just trying to understand
I was just trying to comprehend
Why it's always like she always tried to hide
Why does she always try to conceal
What it is she feels or what's on her mind
Her feelings or thoughts
When it comes to love
Regarding love
She gets so afraid that someone will come
She gets scared that someone will arrive
And hurt her again someday
And hurt her once again someday
All of her life she never had
She has never had
Someone show her what it means
Someone demonstrate to her the significance
To have or be in real love
To experience or be in genuine love
She never had a man who was kind to her
She never had a caring man
Never told her I love you without getting hurt, no
Never uttered 'I love you' without getting hurt
Some people say she's bitter some think she's scared
Some individuals believe she is bitter while others think she is afraid
Some people say she thinks nobody cares
Some people think she believes nobody cares
Now she walks around and protects her heart
Now she walks around shielding her heart
Never looks for love
She never searches for love
Lives behind a wall
She lives behind an emotional wall
Tell it to herself all men are all the same
She tells herself all men are identical
Cause that's how it is
Because that is how it is
And that is such a shame
That is extremely unfortunate
All of her life she never had
She has never had
Someone show her what it means
Someone demonstrate to her the significance
To have or be in real love
To experience or be in genuine love
