Loving You
Vinny Masino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't go changin' for someone to care for you
And can you not see, it's so easy
And what am I to do, when I can not love you
Don't go changin' for someone to love you
Don't go changin' for someone to care for you
And can you not see, it's so easy
And what am I to do, when I can not love you
The meaning behind Vinny Masino's song "Loving You" is a clear message about staying true to oneself in the pursuit of love.

The song suggests that it is not worth altering one's identity or compromising one's values in order to gain the affection of another person.
In the face of difficulty, the singer states that he cannot offer his love to someone who has changed themselves to please him. The dichotomy of the situation is highlighted through the repetition of the phrase "Don't go changin'," juxtaposed against the line, "And what am I to do, when I cannot love you?" The singer recognizes the difficulty of this situation while still maintaining his own sense of self.
