After Little Texas disbanded in 1997, Rushlow began a solo career. His first recording was the musical track "Totally Committed" on comedian Jeff Foxworthy's 1998 album of the same name. Two years later, Rushlow signed to Atlantic Records, recording one album and charting a Top Ten single on the country charts titled "She Misses Him". When Atlantic closed its country division in 2001, Rushlow formed a six-piece band called Rushlow, which charted two singles and recorded one album for Lyric Street Records in 2003.
Rushlow and his cousin Doni Harris (a former member of Rushlow) founded the country music duo Rushlow Harris in 2006. This duo charted two singles on the country charts that year.
When You Love Me
Tim Rushlow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eight day weeks and overtime
That's just the way it is
We all got dreams we're working for
Pushing hard and wanting more
And settling for less
But baby when you love me
That only one thing really matters
You're love, you're sweet touch
Is the strength that I lean on
They could take it all in a New York minute
It wouldn't matter as long as your in it
My life is complete
Baby when you love me
Baby when you love me
Don't want the rats to win the race
So we keep it at a frantic pace
Can't afford to fall behind
Ain't that just the way it goes
Traffic jam on my way home
But I just shake my head and smile
'Cause baby when you love me
You show me
That only one thing really matters
You're love, you're sweet touch
Is the strength that I lean on
They could take it all in a New York minute
It wouldn't matter as long as your in it
My life is complete
Baby when you love me
Baby when you love me
Aw baby when you love me
When I finally get home to you
Everything that I've been through
Slowly drifts away
Baby when you love me
You show me
That only one thing really matters
You're love, you're sweet touch
Is the strength that I lean on
They could take it all in a New York minute
It wouldn't matter as long as your in it
My life is complete
Baby when you love me
Baby when you love me
Aw baby when you love me
