I'm Stone In Love With You
The Stylistics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A great big movie star
Overnight sensation
Drive a big expensive car
I would buy you everything your little heart desires
These things I do
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)
If I were a business man
I'd sit behind a desk
I'd be so successful
I would scare Wall Street to death
I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know
I did it all
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)
I'm just a man, an average man
Doing everything the best I can
But if I could
I'd give the world to you
I'd like to someday be the owner of
The first house on the moon
There would be no neighbors
And no population boom
You might say that all I do is dream my life away
I guess it's true
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
The lyrics to The Stylistics' song "I'm Stone in Love With You" speak to the lengths one would go through for the person they love. The song's protagonist is a man who is so deeply in love with the person he is singing to, that he envisions himself as a great big movie star, showcasing his fame and wealth to please his loved one. If he were a business man, he would be so successful that he'd hold meetings for the press to let the world know he was successful for the sole reason of his love for her. The lyrics are filled with examples, but what's most striking is the repeated phrase "These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you."
This recurring phrase is at the heart of what the song is expressing. The singer loves this person so much that he would be willing to do anything for them, no matter how ridiculous it may seem. He goes as far as to say that all he does is dream his life away because of this love. The lyrics emphasize that this love is not just a crush or infatuation, rather it's deeply rooted, and he would give the world to make the person he loves happy. The song's sentimental tone and the memorable chorus have made it a classic of the era and continue to be popular decades later.
