As Long As You Love Me
U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows, but
Do you love me, do you love me
really love me
You like the credit cards and private planes
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars, but
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, I mean like do you
Really love me
You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the money, honey, that I make, but
Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, really love me
Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans, they know your face
From all of the magazines, but
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Really love me (really love me)
I want to know
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Do you love me (do you love me)
I mean like do you
Really love me (really love me)
I want to know

I need you to (do you love me, do you love me)
And you know I'm so tired of everybody sayin' it
And you know, (do you love me, do you love me)
I just gotta know if you really really really, really love me
(Do you love me, do you love me)
So come on, do you love me (do you love me)
I need you to
Do you love me (do you love me) I want you to
Do you love me (do you love me) I need you
Really love me (do you love me)
I want to know
Do you love me (do you love me) do you, do you
Do you love me (do you love me)
I just got to have some love (do you love me, do you love me)
I just got to have some love (do you love me)

The lyrics of U-KISS's song "As Long As You Love Me" explore the theme of superficial love and materialistic desires. The song depicts a relationship where one person is enamored with the fame, wealth, and luxuries associated with the other person. The singer questions whether this admiration and attraction are based on genuine love or simply on the external trappings of success.
The lyrics suggest that the person in question enjoys the glamorous lifestyle the singer provides. They like riding in the limousine, the expensive clothes, and attending high-profile events. They appreciate the fame and recognition that come with the relationship. However, the singer questions if this person truly loves them for who they are, beyond their material possessions and public image.
The repetition of the line "Do you love me, do you love me" emphasizes the insecurity and need for reassurance from the other person. The singer seeks confirmation of genuine love rather than fleeting infatuation or attraction driven by external factors. Despite the allure of wealth and status, the singer yearns for a deeper connection based on true affection and understanding.
Overall, "As Long As You Love Me" delves into the complexities of modern relationships, exploring the dichotomy between material desires and genuine emotional connection.

Kristen Stewart is My Life
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be
I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin' from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby
I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
