More and More
R. Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mansions, hill and acres
Women, drinks and caterers
I would toast until the break of dawn
Swimming pools and strippers
Conversation six figures
Never crossed my mind to call home.

[Chorus]
There's a note on the bathroom mirror
Telling me that you've had enough.

It took you leaving me
For my blind eyes to see that you mean.

[Repeat: x8]
Far more

Than this planet to me
Than the air I breath
From here to overseas
Girl you're all I need
Than the mountains and trees
You mean more than the birds and the bees
Honey take it from me
You are all I need

Hanging out with friends
Never calling to check in
Neglecting you in every way
Taking the home front for granted
What was straight, is now slanted
And I don't know what to do about this letter.

[Chorus]

It took you leaving me
For my blind eyes to see that you mean.

[Repeat: x8]
Far More

More than this planet to me
More than the air I breath
From here to overseas
Girl you're all I need
Than the mountains and trees
You mean more than the birds and the bees
Honey take it from me
You are all I need

[Repeat: x8]
Far more

Ever since you've been gone
I realize girl just what it is I had at home
Oh Baby, you mean far more
Than this planet to me
Than this air I breath
Nothing can compare to your love for me.
To your love for me




To your love for me
To your love for me

Overall Meaning

In R. Kelly's song More and More, the singer confesses to having taken his significant other for granted. He mentions how he preferred to indulge in mansions, hills, and acres, drinks, women, and caterers, never minding the time that he spent away from home. He also mentions how he took for granted the love that his partner provided him with. The chorus of the song features a note that the partner leaves on the bathroom mirror, telling the singer that enough is enough. The note seems to be the wake-up call that the singer needs, as he realizes how much his partner means to him.


The second verse of the song talks about how the singer never checked in or put in any effort, neglecting his partner in every way. He says that what was straight is now slanted, and he has no idea how to deal with the letter that his partner had written. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing how much his partner meant to him.


In the final verse, the singer realizes what he has lost since his partner left. He understands how much his partner meant to him, comparing her to everything that he indulged in earlier in the song, including mountains, trees, birds, and bees. He realizes that his partner's love is irreplaceable and valuable, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to get it back.


The song is an apology from R. Kelly to his partner, as he asks for forgiveness for taking their love for granted. The lyrics are a powerful message about the importance of valuing relationships and not taking love for granted.
