I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
Wondering why you don't love me
The way that I love you
And baby have no fear
'Cause I would never ever hurt you
And you know my love is real, boy I can
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I know some times
Can get rough but we'll make it
We'll make it through the storm
And I know I will try
To make sure that you can trust me
And you know the reason why that I say
(I can love you) I can love you
A little better than she can oh,
(I know that you) I know that you
Wish that you could be my man
'Cause I can love you better than she can
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can
If I told you once, I told you twice,
Q. B. throw the bootie, like a groupie for mo' ice
Armor truck heist, hit the bonus like N'Bushe,
In love wit' you since the days of "Juicy"
Now I watch you play Columbo, Picasso
Tricks inside colassals, turn you castles to brothels, Uh!
Who you lovin', who you wanna be huggin?
Dippin on ya Ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, Wha!
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
I can love you, (I can love you)
The chorus of the song "Love You" by Soul J repeats the phrase "I can love you better than she can". The singer is proclaiming to their love interest that they can provide a better love than their current partner. The song is a plea to the person the singer wants to be with, emphasizing their own capacity to love and be faithful. The verses are addressed directly to the love interest, assuring them that the singer would never hurt them and that their love is real.
The second verse acknowledges that relationships can be difficult, but assures the love interest that the singer will do everything in their power to be trustworthy and supportive. The lyrics "If I told you once, I told you twice" suggests that the singer has made their intentions and feelings clear before, but perhaps the love interest has not reciprocated those feelings. The bridge of the song features a rap verse from rapper Queen Latifah, who adds a different perspective on the subject of love and fidelity.
