Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Oh
Yeah

You've been here, but you've been missin' for some time now
Yeah, yeah
Every time I see you, it's a different vibe now
Yeah, oh
I can't help but let you just go away
Oh, oh
Can we get back what we had yesterday?
Oh, oh

If I ride with you?
Better know that I'ma ride for you
Bet I'd use a gun and knife for you
I ain't finna choose the side over you, yeah
Am I right with you?
Ain't nothin' to provide for you
Ain't nobody in my life like you
Ain't nobody gonna shine like you

Show me my love, oh God
Show me sweet love, yeah
Show me my love, oh yeah
Show me sweet love, yeah
See, show me my love
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Yo, my team, team, we on that new ting
My mink draggin' like it's Liu Kang
My show packed, all the dimes there
But I be falling back from all the loose change
I drop the top on that new thing
My chocolate broad, they rock Gucci
Gotta know it's impossible to stop Folarin
Got the box, I want the new thing, yeah
She gon' show out, show out
Before its wahala, "Roll out, roll out"
Mm yeah, she gon' show out, show out
Before you break it down, girl, roll out, roll out

If I ride with you
Better know that I'ma ride for you
Better know that we can live for each other
That don't mean I gotta die for you

Show me my love, oh God
Show me sweet love, yeah
Show me my love, oh yeah
Show me sweet love, yeah
See, show me my love
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Yeah, bring 'em out, bring 'em out
Hard to hear, too many girls in the house, ayy
Bring 'em out, bring 'em out
I started here, I got the buzz and the clout
I know, I know she got it all, but got nothin' to hold
Every time I saw her, not too many, no
She ain't really hard, she act because she heard, duh
And I can be your last
Leave the past with your first

Show me my love, oh God
Show me sweet love, yeah
Show me my love, oh yeah
Show me sweet love, yeah
See, show me my love
Show me sweet love, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Show me my love




Show me sweet love, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

Overall Meaning

Wale's song "My Love" revolves around a love relationship that has lost its magic. The lyrics suggest that time and distance have created a disconnect between the two partners. The opening lines of the song reveal that the person has been away for some time now and each time they meet, there's a different vibe. Wale expresses his desire to keep the relationship alive and strong, but there is a sense of doubt as to whether this is possible. The chorus "Show me my love, oh God, show me sweet love, yeah" indicates that Wale seeks divine intervention to restore the lost love.


In the second verse, Wale shifts his focus to describe his success in the music industry, where his team is on a new "ting." He is also aware of his fame and the attention he receives from women, but he chooses to remain focused on his love interest. Wale expresses his commitment to the relationship and his willingness to go to any extent to protect it, including using a gun and knife if necessary. Throughout the song, Wale delivers lines that suggest he is not settling for a mediocre relationship but wants to make it exceptional.


The song ends on an optimistic note, with Wale reiterating his desire to show love and be shown love. The lyrics also suggest that he is willing to leave the past behind and start over with the same person, creating new and better memories.

Ain't nothin' to provide for you Ain't nobody in my life like you Ain't nobody gonna shine like you
No one else can measure up to you in my eyes. You don't need anything from me to prove your worth or place in my life.


Show me my love, oh God Show me sweet love, yeah
I pray that I am able to recognize and receive the love that is meant for me, and that it is sweet and fulfilling.


Yo, my team, team, we on that new ting My mink draggin' like it's Liu Kang My show packed, all the dimes there But I be falling back from all the loose change
I'm on a new wave with my team and we're killing it. I have luxury items like a mink coat, and I attract beautiful women at my shows, but I don't get caught up in the superficiality of it all.


I drop the top on that new thing My chocolate broad, they rock Gucci Gotta know it's impossible to stop Folarin Got the box, I want the new thing, yeah
I have a nice car and a beautiful Black partner who wears designer clothes. I know I'm destined for greatness and no one can stop me. I have the older model of something, but I want the latest and greatest version.


She gon' show out, show out Before its wahala, "Roll out, roll out" Mm yeah, she gon' show out, show out Before you break it down, girl, roll out, roll out
She's going to flaunt and impress everyone before there's any drama or conflict. She's not going to stick around and see things fall apart - she's leaving before that happens.


That don't mean I gotta die for you
I am willing to do a lot for you, but I won't sacrifice my own life or wellbeing for anyone else.


Yeah, bring 'em out, bring 'em out Hard to hear, too many girls in the house, ayy Bring 'em out, bring 'em out I started here, I got the buzz and the clout
I'm commanding attention and recognition wherever I go, even when there are distractions or obstacles. I've worked hard to build up my reputation and status.


I know, I know she got it all, but got nothin' to hold Every time I saw her, not too many, no She ain't really hard, she act because she heard, duh And I can be your last Leave the past with your first
I recognize that this woman is successful and attractive, but she doesn't have anything truly fulfilling or grounding in her life. She puts on a tough front, but it's only because of rumors and hearsay. I can offer her something real and lasting, even if she has a history of superficial relationships.


Show me my love, oh God Show me sweet love, yeah See, show me my love Show me sweet love, yeah
Once again, I'm asking for clarity and assurance in love - that I am able to recognize and receive true, fulfilling love in my life.
