You're Gonna Love Me
Young Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

If you like a man who
If you are looking for a man who
You can put your trust in
You can rely on and trust
You don't have to worry
You do not have to be anxious
Where he's been
About his past experiences
Then rest easy
Then you can relax
Girl, you're gonna love me
You will definitely love me
And if you like to slow dance
If you enjoy slow dancing

Long Sunday drives out
Long drives on Sundays
In the country
In the countryside
I'm your cup of tea
I'm exactly what you need
Come and rest your head against my chest
Lean your head on my chest
'Cause I'm the one for you
Because I am the perfect match for you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look any further
Your search is through
You have found what you were looking for
So, girl, if you like a handful
So, if you like a bunch
Of fresh wild flowers
Of freshly-picked wildflowers
A back rub on a bad day
A massage when you are feeling down
Talkin' for hours
Talking for long hours
I'm good company
I am great company
Girl, you're gonna love me
You will definitely love me
If you like a big heart
If you like a kind heart
That's in this for the long haul
That is committed for the long term
Till we're rockin' on the front porch
Until we are old and sitting on the front porch
And they're callin' me
And our grandchildren call me
'papaw'
Grandpa in the south
Till the last breath you breathe
Until your very last breath
Girl, you're gonna love me
You will definitely love me
Just try it and see
Just give it a chance and see for yourself
Girl, you're gonna love me
You will definitely love me
