Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Many lovers have gone
Similar to an old fashion song
(A thousand years from now we'll be still putting it down my baby)
You can change the frame,
But the picture remains the same
Similar to the sun after the rain
Baby girl in other words for ever more
I'll be here (I'll be here)
Cause, my whole life's been full of joy every since
You came here, girl
My whole world goes around,
Because you spin me yeah (spin me)
And every time we're done making love girl
You makes me wanna
Snap in the name of love, snap in the name of love (snap my fingers)
Clap in the name of love, clap in the name of love (clap my hands yeah)
Step in the name of love, step in the name of love (step from side to side)
Groove in the name of love, groove in the name of love (Groove and it's alright)
Some believes in love
And some people don't
Similar to a story, when it's told
(A thousand years from now we'll be still putting it down my baby)
Some have crossed the finish line and some gave up
It's like moving a mountain
Love can be just that tough yeah.
(A thousand years from now we'll be still putting it down my baby)
Baby girl in other words for ever more
I'll be here (I'll be here)
Cause, my whole life's been full of joy every since
You came here, girl
My whole world goes around,
Because you spin me yeah (spin me)
And every time we're done making love girl
You makes me wanna
Snap in the name of love, snap in the name of love (snap my fingers)
Clap in the name of love, clap in the name of love (clap both my hands)
Step in the name of love, step from side to side (step in the name of love)
Groove in the name of love, groove in the name of love (groove and it's alright)
(Snap in the name of love) (woo)
(Snap in the name of love) (woo)
(Clap in the name of love) (Clap my hands)
(Clap in the name of love) (oh)
(Step in the name of love) (Step step step)
(Step in the name of love) (uh-huh, you got it)
(Groove in the name of love) (groove in the name)
(Groove in the name of love) (of love)
Now we gonna play a little game
And this game is for all of those
Who know how to follow the rules to this game, alright?
Listen. When I sing, I want everybody out there
To do what ever I sing, alright? Come on, here we go
Step Step Side to side
Round and round, Dip it now
Separate, bring it back
Let me see you do the
Love slide
Step Step Side to side
Round and round, Dip it now

@LesleyLove-lw3ry
IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO JUDGE HIM FOR HIS PAST MISTAKES, DUE TO LIFE
IMPERFECT BECAUSE NONE OF US ARE
PERFECT,
BUT NEVERTHELESS THE MAN IS A MUSICAL GENIUS THAT ALWAYS PROVIDED
GREAT ENTERTAINMENT AND AMAZING SONGS WITH BEAUTIFUL LYRICS AS WELL DELIVER
POWERFUL MESSAGE THROUGH GOSPEL
RAP, R&B AND DISCO JUST TO NAME A FEW OF HIS MANY BACKGROUND ROOTS
SO I WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC AND PRAY FOR HIM AT THE SAME TIME JUST AS GOD HAS FORGIVEN US FOR
OUR SINS, THEN WE TOO SHOULD FORGIVE HIM, AND NOT HARBOR ANY RESENTMENT
BUT MOST IMPORTANT WE SHOULD
"LET GO AND LET GOD" HANDLE
THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE, SINCE THAT IS
HIS JOB.
@brendaellison9955
Regardless of what he’s done or accused of doing, I still love his music. I learned to separate the music from the man.
