I'm With You
R. Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you
Is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do




'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Overall Meaning

In R. Kelly's song "I'm With You," the lyrics convey a simple but powerful message of the profound joy and satisfaction one can derive just from dancing with the person they love. The singer expresses that he doesn't need any physical or romantic gestures such as kissing or holding hands to feel fulfilled, but just the chance to dance with his love all night long. He is so happy in her company, and everything else fades away when they are together. The chorus repeats the sentiment that just to dance with the person is everything he needs to feel complete, and that he thinks he'll love her even more before the dance is through.


The song showcases a certain level of innocence and purity in love, where it's not about the physical activity of being intimate, but the emotional connection through the simple act of dancing with someone they care for. The final verse suggests that even if someone tries to take his place, he and his love will pretend to ignore that person and continue dancing, further emphasizing that nothing can come between their love and mutual happiness. Overall, "I'm With You" is a sweet and romantic song that celebrates the beauty of love in its simplicity and purity.
