Love Like This
SWV Lyrics

S-W- with the V , yeah, you know,
The singers identify themselves as SWV and Lil' Ceasar

Oh, life is short.
Life is brief and fleeting

Never thought I'd find love, 'til the day I found you, sugar.
The singer was surprised to find love until she met her significant other

Never had no one to hold me like this, (like this, like this.)
The singer hasn't experienced someone holding her in such a way before

Oh, no, no, Oh.
Expressing excitement and joy

This time, last year, I was feeling so alone.
The singer was lonely around this time last year

You changed my whole world.
Meeting the significant other has completely changed the singer's life

Now all I have is memories.
The singer now only has happy memories to look back on

My lonely days are gone.
The singer is grateful to no longer be lonely

You changed the right from wrong.
The significant other has brought clarity to the singer's life

And I never,
The singer expresses surprise and gratitude for finding love

Never imagined just what it would be like,
The singer didn't know what it would be like to feel this way

To have this feeling that I feel,
The singer expresses a newfound feeling of love and joy

Without you in my life.
The singer acknowledges that the significant other has brought this feeling into her life

It's like a day of sunshine after days of cloudy skies,
The singer compares the happy feeling to a sunny day after many days of rain

And when you held me in your arms,
The singer cherishes the moment when they were held by their significant other

You opened up my eyes.
Meeting the significant other has brought new perspective to the singer's life

And I tell the world that I'm in love, (yeah, yeah.)
The singer is proud and excited to share their love with others

Every day, (everyday and night), you love me right.
The singer is grateful for the love they receive from their significant other every day and night

I don't want to trade it for nothing in this world.
The singer cherishes the love they have and would never want to give it up for anything

Imagine this, me Caes.
Lil' Ceasar starts his rap verse

E-3's, chesties, palm trees.
Lil' Ceasar describes a luxurious lifestyle

I know you like the way it sounds, so take your pic hon,
Lil' Ceasar is inviting his love interest to join him in this lifestyle

And watch this tongue go dead between your lips, uh.
Lil' Ceasar is making a sexual advance

While my niggaz be stazzin' out, I blowin' mad spazzles out.
Lil' Ceasar is living extravagantly and indulging in vices

Your leather, my house.
Lil' Ceasar is wealthy enough to afford luxurious items such as leather and a mansion

What's even better, my cheddar, your couch.
Lil' Ceasar is boasting about his wealth and how he wants to share it with his love interest

It's now or never, my tongue, in your mouth.
Lil' Ceasar is moving the conversation back to his sexual advance

I makes it happen, dumber than a Hummer with my man Trife jigga.
Lil' Ceasar is confident in his abilities to make things happen, even if it's not entirely logical

Only boney girls with nice figures, ridin' dat digga.
Lil' Ceasar is specifying his preference for slim girls with attractive body shapes

Whole figure, platinum with gold diggers.
Lil' Ceasar is attracting the attention of girls who are only interested in his wealth

So what's it gonna be girl, tell me who you roll with?
Lil' Ceasar is prompting his love interest to choose between him and other potential partners

Who you want to be with, who you creep with?
Lil' Ceasar is asking his love interest about their other romantic entanglements

I giving you the green light, so if you the right ho,
Lil' Ceasar is giving his love interest permission to be with him only if she meets his standards

Ask Joe, square the double, be a playa no more.
Lil' Ceasar is referencing his own nickname and telling the love interest to leave their other partners and be only with him.

Oh, no, no, Oh.
The singers express excitement and joy, as in the beginning of the song

Never, Never thought I'd find love,
The chorus repeats the notion of being surprised to find love

'Til the day I found you, sugar. (I never had no one.)
The singers acknowledge their gratitude for finding someone to love and cherish

Never had no one to hold me like this, (like this, like this.)
The chorus repeats the idea of not having experienced this kind of love before

No, no, no.
The chorus concludes with repeating the negative statement of not having love until they found their significant other
