R. Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that money I spend
All those places I been
I can't forget you babe
Here's life without you
Working hard for this loot
Girl I wanna spend it with you
I want you with me babe
Baby, through all the ups and down
You were a lady
I wanna show you how I love you
Baby, deserve the very best
And I, I'll give it to you, only you
How can I show you that
Only you satisfy everything that you do
Baby girl, anything that you want
I'll give to you
Just promise me forever, boo
[Chorus]
Baby I can't imagine life without you
With me, I never want to be without you
Baby, I want you to believe it's true
All that I do, I do for you
How can I show you that
Only you could satisfy, everything that you do
Anything that you want I'll give to you
Just promise me forever, boo
[Chorus]
Don't know why you stayed by my side for so long
So I dedicate baby, in every way
All my heart and soul
It all belongs to you
[Chorus]
The song Spendin' Money by R. Kelly is an ode to his love for a woman whom he wants to share his success with. The lyrics are a reflection of his appreciation for her unwavering support throughout the ups and downs of his life as a celebrity. R. Kelly sings about splurging on places he's been to and things he's bought, but he confesses that none of these experiences compare to the joy he feels when he's with her. It is a song about how true love is not just about spending money, but about wanting to share everything with that one special person. The chorus emphasizes this point by highlighting how empty life would be without her.
In the first verse, R. Kelly acknowledges that his woman has been through thick and thin with him. He wants to show her how much he loves and appreciates her by showering her with the best things life has to offer, but also by being there for her always. He sings about how he wants to make her his priority and how no one else could ever take her place.
The second verse reaffirms R. Kelly's commitment to his lover. He expresses his fears of living without her and how he wants to demonstrate his love for her. Here he pleads with her to trust him and believe that he is serious about their relationship. The chorus continually emphasizes how lonely life would be without her and how much he wants to share everything with her.
