Stuck With Each Other

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think you won't need me
That you're gonna get you somethin' better
But you know that we're in this forever
And you can, think you can walk out, even with your doubts
But you know that we're in this together
You can try to push me from you
Nothing you do can pull us a part
Cause it's too late, there's no escape, might as well face it
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
It's been too long, this is too strong, yes, we belong here
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Stuck in love with each other (stuck in love with each other) (yeah)
Now I can, say I would not care
If you were not there
Tell myself that I'll be fine without ya
But I'd die if I was not around ya
And I can try to convince you I don't need to be with you
But my only thoughts are thoughts about ya
What can, I do, love is like glue
There's no, way to, tear our hearts apart
Cause it's too late, there's no escape, might as well face it
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
It's been too long, this is too strong, yes, we belong here
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Stuck in love with each other (stuck in love with each other)
There's nothing I'd rather do, than stick with you forever
Can't think of nothin' better than being stuck with you
Cause it's too late, there's no escape, might as well face it
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Ain't nothin we can do about it
It's been too long, this is too strong, yes, we belong here
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Stuck in love with each other (stuck in love with each other)
Cause it's too late, there's no escape, might as well face it
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Ain't nothin we can do about it
It's been too long, this is too strong, yes, we belong here
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Stuck in love with each other (stuck in love with each other)
Cause it's too late, there's no escape, might as well face it
Baby, we're stuck with each other (stuck with each other)
Stuck in love with each other (stuck in love with each other)
Ain't nothin' gonna stop me and you (eh)
Cause you know we just stuck like glue (eh)
Ain't nothin we can do, we stuck in love with each other
In Akon's song Stuck With Each Other, the lyrics express a feeling of being in a relationship that cannot be escaped, no matter how hard one tries to resist. The verses talk about how one person might think they can do better than the other, but deep down they know they will always be together. The chorus repeats the idea that they are "stuck with each other," with no escape and no way to tear their hearts apart. The bridge emphasizes how the singer cannot imagine life without their partner and that the love they share is like glue.
The lyrics of this song are relatable to many people who have been in long-term relationships, especially those who are feeling stagnant or unsure of their future together. The idea that love can be like being stuck together creates a sense of permanence, as if the two people are bound to each other for life, no matter what happens.
Interestingly, the song was originally released as a single by singer/songwriter Shontelle, with Akon as a featured artist. However, it was later included on Akon's album Freedom with Shontelle as a featured artist instead. The song was written by Akon, Claude Kelly, and Giorgio Tuinfort.

It's amazing how quickly music has deteriorated since 2010. I feel bad for kids today not growing up with these tunes.
