I Love You
Nelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day, deep into the sea
But takes a little piece of me, a little piece of me
Oh, it's so beautiful out and I can't see why we're not allowed to be
Up in the sky with the birds, counting the flowers
And oh, my powers have failed me again when I can't see beginning to end
Wandering stars in the blue could not be born 'cause of you
Wandering stars in the blue could not be born 'cause of you
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day and takes a little piece of me
Deeper every day, deep into the sea
A little piece of me, a little piece of me
Oh, why can't I be green as the grass beneath my feet?
As fresh as the dew hits the ground in the morning
And not yellow like bumble bees, please take me off my knees
My knees, I don't wanna be red forever
Wandering storms in the blue could not be born 'cause of you
Wandering storms in the blue could not be born 'cause of you
I've been, I've been looking
I've been looking at the moon, but I've been thinking of myself
I've got me under my own skin, I don't need nobody else
I'm looking at the moon, but I'm thinking of myself
I've got me under my own skin, I don't need nobody else
Wandering storms in the blue could not be born 'cause of you
Wandering storms in the blue could not be born 'cause of you
If I could have sunlight in the palm of your hand
I'd take the moonlight instead
If I could have sunlight in the palm of your hand
I'd take the moonlight instead
In "My Love Grows Deeper Part 1," Nelly Furtado sings about the depth and intensity of her love, which she feels gets stronger each day but also takes a piece of her every time. The use of the metaphor of the sea emphasizes the vastness and magnitude of her love, as it grows deeper into uncharted waters. Despite feeling love so strongly, the singer seems to be facing limitations and restrictions that prevent her from fully experiencing it. She wonders why she can't be like the natural elements around her - as green as grass or as fresh as dew - and feels confined by her own limitations. The repeated line about "wandering storms in the blue could not be born 'cause of you" implies that her inability to fully embrace her love is because of a person, perhaps a lover or someone else who is holding her back.
