Overall Meaning

Romain Virgo's "I Am Rich In Love" is a love song that speaks to the depth of emotion felt by the singer towards his lover. The first verse opens with a declaration of his need for her and that he is "rich in love." He is a pauper by worldly standards but has an abundance of love and affection to offer. The chorus reaffirms his love, stating that he has a lot of love to give and that he desires to be with her.


The second verse takes the listener on a tour of his childhood neighborhood, the Garrison. His tone is one of nostalgia as he recalls growing up with the simple things, such as pushcarts and toy boxes, but still finding joy in life. Although she may not be familiar with this part of his life, he is insistent on sharing it with her. He assures her that he will take care of her, showing her how much he loves her.


Virgo sings that he wants to take her to meet his mother, and he seeks his mother's approval of her. He tells her that he wants her to wear a ring and that he has always wanted to be a "baller," but love has turned him into a singer. He promises to show her how to have a good time, that she will be fine with him and that he will love her just as she is.


The song paints a picture of an ordinary man who is "rich in love." His love is not defined by material wealth, but by the deep emotion he feels towards his lover. The lyrics show a man who is willing to make sacrifices for his lover and take care of her. In a world that often times equates love with material possessions, Romain Virgo's "I Am Rich In Love" reminds us that real love is found within the heart.
