Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night I pray
That heaven will send you back to me
Baby you're all I ever needed
Dearly beloved, why did you go
When being with you forever is all I hope
Slowly the rain is falling in our home
I'll be still until I hear from you
And I'll be waiting until you return this message
[Chorus]
A religious love for you baby
Every night I pray
That heaven will send you back to me
Baby you're all I ever needed
A religious love for ya baby
Every night I pray
That someday I'll have you for my wife
Baby you are my life, please believe me
For only God knows how much I miss you
And for us to be as one it takes two
So don't you go dying on me not right now
Please change the impossible to somehow
I'll be still there until I hear from you
And I'll be praying until you return this message
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night, I'll be callin' you
Every single breath I take I hope to see you there
If you should ever need, if ever you need a friend
Baby I am here and don't forget to remember me
Oh baby, come to me, don't leave me lonely
I need you here with me so return this message
[Chorus]
R. Kelly's song "Religious Love" is a poignant ballad that expresses the strong emotions of a lover who has been separated from their beloved. The lyrics are introspective and reveal a deep sense of longing and desperation for the lover's return. The song begins with the singer expressing his devotion to the beloved, describing the love he has for her as a religious experience, every night he prays to God for her return.
The chorus is a declaration of the singer's love and hope that his beloved will return to him. He expresses his desire to have her as his wife, as she is the most important thing in his life. He misses her dearly and needs her back into his life. The lyrics speak of a void in his life that can only be filled by her presence, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to have her back, even if it means waiting and praying for God to send her back to him.
The second verse highlights the struggle of being apart and the pain of missing someone. The singer pleads for the beloved to come back to him and start anew, even if they have had differences in the past. The lyrics express the idea that togetherness is what matters, and the difficult times can be overcome with love and faith. The song ends with a message of hope and a promise to always be there for the beloved, whether she needs a friend or a lover.
