More Than Material
Roseaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a day or only shop for you
And I don't mind if you buy clothes
That I think may not be right for you
Who you are is not what you wear
And what you think has nothing to do with hair
I love you for what your heart shows
That's why I just can't let it go
I ain't worry about your clothes
Cause the clothes don't make the woman
I ain't worry about your hair
Cause the hair can't give me lovin'
Only you
I ain't trippin' on your shoes
'Cause they don't smile at me the way you do.
Girl to me you're a miracle
You're so much more than material
I don't mind if you have fun
Goin' out to get your make up done
I don''t mind if I see you
Exploring different sides of you
I love you from the inside out
I love all the things that I don't know about
'Cause you're the realest woman I know
That's why i just can't let it go
I ain't worry about your clothes
Cause the clothes don't make the woman
I ain't worry about your hair
Cause the hair can't give me lovin'
Only you
I ain't trippin' on your shoes
'Cause they don't smile at me the way you do.
Girl to me you're a miracle
You're so much more than material
I ain't worry about your clothes
Cause the clothes don't make the woman
I ain't worry about your hair
Cause the hair can't give me lovin'
Only you
I ain't trippin' on your shoes
'Cause they don't smile at me the way you do.
Girl to me you're a miracle
You're so much more than material
In “More Than Material,” Roseaux explores the concept of true love and how it goes beyond material possessions. The song is a celebration of genuine connection and acceptance of someone for who they are, not what they have or how they look. The lyrics convey a message of unconditional love, which is not affected by external factors.
In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that it is okay to indulge in material things, to treat oneself with shopping, and buy things that may not fit with their style. Despite all that, the singer points out that clothing, style, and physical appearance do not define a person. The second verse emphasizes that the things that matter most are the ones that can't be seen on the surface. The song's refrain highlights that although the singer treats their partner, the material things do not define the woman he loves, emphasizing that he loves her for who she is, not for what she has.
Overall, “More Than Material” is a touching tribute to the power of love that transcends physical appearances and material belongings. The song encourages us to look beyond the superficial aspects of a person and instead focus on the qualities that matter most – their heart, soul, and spirit. It is a reminder that when it comes to true love and connections, what really counts can’t be bought.
