The Black Eyed Peas/www.PorAlbum.Com Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What would you do?
If I walked up to you
And I told ya how I feel
About ya now
And what would you say
If I took your breath away
And I loved you everyday
The way I do now

Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Would you let me love you, let me you long time

Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time

What would it take?
If we can up and runaway
We can throw our problems away
And get out of town
And how do you feel
I hope you know that I'm for real
I ain't playing games baby
I'm serious now

So baby let me love you, let me you long time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to “The Time” by The Black Eyed Peas are about a person who is expressing their love and asking for reciprocation. The first verse poses a hypothetical situation of walking up to the person and telling them how the singer feels about them. The chorus then asks if the person would let the singer love them for a long time. The second verse talks about running away together and the singer emphasizing the seriousness of their feelings.


The bridge of the song sets the scene in a velvet lounge and asks the person to walk with the singer and put their love together. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation to the singer’s request for love and affection.


Overall, the song is about taking chances on love and asking for what is wanted. The chorus repetition reinforces the message of longing and desire for a long-lasting relationship.

Fun Fact: Michael Jackson and Prince were actually friends. They never hated on one another. They just stood out each other's way to create their art. Prince only had a disagreement with Michael when it came to the Bad song which they were to collaborate on...both of them spoke on how the music industry politics are. Let's not lie on those who are no longer physically alive to speak their truth all for clickbait and to make money from their name.

Logan Hoomana

I mean if multiple people that were friends with them noticed the hostility then it was probably a real thing. Seemed a bit one sided on Princes part tbh but I feel that competition made them both better artists.

Man Of Beard

RealVersatile a good post. Well said 👍

TheBoomBoxGuru

They used to hang out quite a bit and there's rumors MJ would visit Paisley Park from time to time.

Haaziq Abdul Aleem

Its always the greats that have discrepancies.... But even on the Bad song Prince stated the song will still be a hit without me on it , that shows how much respect he had for Mike and the fact that Mike continued wanting to do collabs with Prince shows the same amount of respect... Mind you, Mike Rarely does collabs with anyone he is a force to be reckoned with on his own...They both were icons and legendary in their own right

Haaziq Abdul Aleem

Yemi I agree Prince was petty and immature... Funny thing is between the 2 Prince was the one who behaved like a Female... Mike was more mature and grown man about the situation, being forgiving and not holding grudges.
