You Are My Love
SWV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Greater than your love, baby for sure
And I've searched far and wide
And the stars above
But no love endures
So please return your love to me
You know that we should be together
In love forever
[Chorus]
You are my love
And I need you here to love me
I need you here I swear
You are my love
And I want you to warm me
I'll always need you there
There's no pain I know
Like the pain I feel, feel in my heart
And I have cried, lord knows I've cried
But I still have the will
I hope you're not far, oh
If you could only here the words
I'm sorry that I hurt you baby
I must been crazy
Come back wherever you are
[Chorus]
There's a certain amount of love I need
I'll never give up till you're here with me
Lord knows you're (all I'm longing for)
Hmm, you see I never knew how much in love I was
I'm sorry for all the wrong I've done
(All the wrong I've done forgive me, you)
Forgive me baby, you are the only one
