You
Ruff Endz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You, it doesn't matter what I say or do
Cause every step I take leads to you
And now I realize it's true
The only love for me is you
It doesn't matter how far I roam
Cause every road I take leads back home
And now the fact is absolute
I thought I needed time and space
But baby that was just a front
I never knew how much we had
Until I almost gave it up
I was so blind that I could not see
It was all in our history
Everything I wanted love to be
Had been given to me by
Chorus
Thank you for being a friend
And giving me one more chance
I'm so glad you wouldn't let it end
And I'm lost within your sweet romance
I was a fool to ever let you go
Being away made the feeling grow
Now all I want to do is show you
How much I'm in love with
Chorus
You opened up the door
Showed me what my heart is for
And now you're the one I want to be with forever more
Baby, baby oh baby it's you, it's you
Chorus
The song "You" by Ruff Endz tells the story of a person who thought they needed time and space away from their lover before realizing that they couldn't live without them. The chorus reiterates this realization, singing that no matter what they do or where they go, they will always find themselves coming back to their love. The lyrics speak to the importance of history and shared memories in a relationship, and how sometimes it takes distance to fully appreciate what you have.
The first verse dispels the notion that time and space can heal all wounds, admitting that it was all a front. The singer then reflects on their past and how they were so blind to what they had. The second verse thanks their lover for not giving up on them and reveals that being away only made their love grow stronger. The bridge expresses regret in hindsight for ever letting their love go and concludes with a declaration of their undying affection.
Overall, the song is a classic R&B ballad that speaks to the universal experience of taking things for granted and needing distance to gain perspective. The chorus is especially memorable with its simple yet powerful message that the only love for the singer is their lover.
