more love
Ray Greene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can say I told you so
If I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well
Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
His little loved one gone
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
When I wasn't making too much money
You knew where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent one red cent
Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
His little loved one gone
I love you baby
More than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know
I'm not trying to be any kinds of a man
I'm trying to be somebody
You can love trust and understand
I know that I could be yeah a part of you
That no one else could see
I just got to hear you say
It's alright yeah yeah yeah
I'm only flesh and blood
But I could be everything
That you demand
I could be president
Of General Motors baby huh
Or just a tiny little grain of sand
Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
His little loved one gone
I love you baby, I love you baby
I love you more than you will ever know
The lyrics of Ray Greene's "More Love" are about a man who is deeply in love with his significant other and promises to never leave or hurt them. He acknowledges that if he ever abandoned or harmed them, it would also cause him great pain. The man pleads with his partner to trust him and understand that he is working hard to be someone that she can love and rely on. He even goes as far as to say that he is willing to be anything that she desires, from the President of General Motors to a tiny grain of sand, as long as she knows that he loves her more than she will ever know.
The song is a declaration of a man's undying love for his partner and his desire to be everything she needs in life. The repetition of the lyrics "I love you baby, more than you will ever know" serves as the anchor of the song, emphasizing the depth and sincerity of his feelings and his willingness to do whatever it takes to make their relationship work. The song, with its soulful melody, simple but meaningful lyrics, and Greene’s scorching vocals, has become a classic love song that has stood the test of time.

If I ever leave you
In the event that I leave you
You can say I told you so
It won't come as a surprise since I warned you
If I ever hurt you baby
If I ever cause you pain, even unintentionally
You know I hurt myself as well
It would also hurt me deeply
Is that any way for a man to carry on
Is that truly how a man should behave?
You think he wants
Do you believe he wishes for
His little loved one gone
To lose his beloved?
I love you baby
I adore you, my dear
More than you'll ever know
With a depth you cannot comprehend
When I wasn't making too much money
In times where my wages were low
You knew where my paycheck went
You knew I devoted it to us
You know I brought it home to baby
I delivered the money to you
And I never spent one red cent
I didn't waste a single penny
I'm not trying to be any kinds of a man
I'm not attempting to pose as anything
I'm trying to be somebody
My goal is to become someone
You can love trust and understand
A person you can love, trust, and comprehend
I know that I could be yeah a part of you
I could become an integral part of your being
That no one else could see
Something that others would not perceive
I just got to hear you say
I simply have to hear you utter
It's alright yeah yeah yeah
It is okay
I'm only flesh and blood
I'm merely a mortal being
But I could be everything
However, I could be everything
That you demand
That you desire
I could be president
I could be the president
Of General Motors baby huh
Of General Motors, darling, huh
Or just a tiny little grain of sand
Or an insignificant speck of sand
I love you baby, I love you baby
I love you, darling, I love you
I love you more than you will ever know
I love you more than you can fathom
