I Love It
Rob Thomas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't fear no mountain, don't fear no climb
Don't need no woman to get me by
I got it bad, I read your mind
Know what you're thinking all the time

This is the new stuff, rub you black and blue stuff
See what I can do stuff, you wish it was you stuff
You don't wanna like it, but I'm feeling like you do stuff
I'll just keep it real 'nuff, everybody, hold up

I love it
Feeling nothing
Man, I love it
Feeling gets me down, down, down
I love it
Feeling nothing
Man, I love it
Feeling gets me down, down, down

Bring on that mountain, bring on that climb
I'm in the moment, you heard it right
You got me wrong, I'll let it slide
Just pay attention, I'll tell you right

I got it made now, I've been getting paid out
Won't be getting played out, never gonna fade out
I'll just keep on nailing you with fire 'til you flame out
Tell me how it feels now, you've got nothing real now

You got nothing
I'm about to
I'm about to, I'm about to break out
And I don't know why
Lord, I'm feeling high, so I'll testify

I love it
Feeling nothing
Man, I love it
Feeling gets me down, down, down
I love it
Feeling nothing
Man, I love it
Feeling gets me down, down, down

I love it
Feeling nothing
Man, I love it
Feeling gets me down, down, down
I love it
Feeling nothing
Man, I love it
Feeling gets me down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down, down




I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rob Thomas's song "I Love It" appear to be about a man who is fiercely independent and confident in his own abilities. He is not afraid to take on any challenge, whether it be climbing a mountain or facing life without a woman by his side. He is also very perceptive, having the ability to read people's minds and know what they are thinking at all times.


The chorus of the song seems to capture the essence of the man's attitude towards life. He loves feeling nothing, which means he is not weighed down by negative emotions or concerns. Instead, he enjoys the thrill of the moment and the freedom that comes with being unencumbered by obligations or expectations.


The references to "rub you black and blue stuff" and "nailing you with fire 'til you flame out" could be interpreted as the man's desire to dominate or conquer anything that stands in his way. However, the overall tone of the song is one of positivity and liberation, rather than aggression or domination.
