Ain't That Loving You
Walter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You build my hopes so high
Didn't let me down so low
It makes no difference baby
I still love you more and more

And every very time you smile
Woman I smile with you
Every time you cry

Woman, you know I cry with you

Now ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Lord, ain't that lovin' you

I don't believe
I don't believe you know what I'm talkin' about
I don't believe
I don't believe you know what I'm talkin' about

I'm talkin' about love, love, love
I'm talkin' about love, love, love
I'm talkin' about love, love, love
I'm talkin' about love, love, love

You know I told you baby
I would never let you down
It makes no difference that
I will always be around

You treat me like a schoolboy
And that you know is true
It makes no difference by you
I'll be there with you

Ain't that lovin' you
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Lord, ain't that lovin' you

I don't believe
You know I'm smiling with you

Oh, ain't that loving you baby
You know, that's loving you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Walter 's song "Ain't That Loving You" express his devotion to his partner despite experiencing a let-down feeling: “You build my hopes so high / Didn't let me down so low / It makes no difference baby / I still love you more and more." This suggests that the relationship has not been perfect, and that he has been hurt in the past, but he still loves his partner unconditionally. He then emphasizes that when his partner is happy, he is happy, and when she is sad, he feels her pain: “Every time you smile / Woman I smile with you / Every time you cry / Woman, you know I cry with you."

Throughout the song, Walter seems to be affirming that his love for his partner is real and genuine. When he says, "I don't believe you know what I'm talkin' about," he may be implying that his partner does not fully understand the depth of his love for her. He then declares that his love is authentic and that it is all he wants to talk about: “I'm talkin' about love, love, love / I'm talkin' about love, love, love." He concludes by reiterating his commitment to his partner: “I would never let you down / It makes no difference that / I will always be around."
