You're Gonna Love Me
Young Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you like a man who
You can put your trust in
You don't have to worry
Where he's been
Then rest easy
Girl, you're gonna love me

And if you like to slow dance
To ol' Keith Whitley
Long Sunday drives out
In the country
I'm your cup of tea
Girl, you're gonna love me

Come and rest your head against my chest
'Cause I'm the one for you
You don't have to look no more
Your search is through

So, girl, if you like a handful
Of fresh wild flowers
A back rub on a bad day
Talkin' for hours
I'm good company
Girl, you're gonna love me

Come and rest your head against my chest
'Cause I'm the one for you
You don't have to look no more
Your search is through

So, girl, if you like a big heart
That's in this for the long haul
Till we're rockin' on the front porch
And they're callin' me 'papaw'
Till the last breath you breathe
Girl, you're gonna love me





Just try it and see
Girl, you're gonna love me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Young Chris's song You're Gonna Love Me are a declaration of love and a promise of forever. The first verse starts by saying that if someone likes a man that they could trust and not have to worry about his whereabouts, then they're going to love him. The second verse describes how if someone likes to slow dance to country music, go on long drives in the country, or just need someone to lean on, then this is the guy for them. He even goes so far as to say that if someone likes fresh wild flowers or just good company, they're going to love him. The chorus is a repetition of the fact that if someone tries being with him, they're going to love him, and he's the one for them.


The repetition of the statement that "you're going to love me" seems almost like a mantra, convincing the other person that he's the one. The verses that follow are not just general statements about nice things someone might like, but rather specific things that could be easily imagined as happening within a relationship. References to cuddling, talking for hours, and rocking on the front porch when they're old make the song more personal and more about a specific connection between two people.


Overall, the song is a reassuring message that everything that the other person might be looking for is right here, in this man singing the song. It's a sweet and romantic sentiment that is not corny or overly exaggerated. The song presents a clear picture of a man who is trustworthy, thoughtful, and committed.
