Keep Me from Loving You
Unyielding Devotion: Defying Odds for Love
Lyrics
Remember how time used to drag,
Reflecting on the past when time felt slow.
Summer couldn't get here fast enough
Anticipation for summer and the eagerness for its arrival.
You made A's and B's, I was C's and D's
Contrasting academic performance, where the speaker had lower grades than their partner.
Your daddy hated me 'cause you were into me
The partner's father disapproved of the speaker, possibly due to their rebellious nature.
Nobody'd ever be good enough for his little girl
The father's protective attitude towards his daughter, making it challenging for anyone to meet his standards.
Had a fast car and a hard head
Describing the speaker's past with a fast car and a rebellious attitude.
Didn't give a damn what he said
The speaker's defiance and indifference to the father's disapproval.
I was gonna do what I was born to do
A determination to follow one's inherent calling in life.
No cold stare, no cussin', nobody, no nothin'
Facing opposition without losing love, staying committed.
Was gonna keep me from lovin' you
Expressing a strong commitment to love despite challenges and obstacles.
Looks like your daddy was the easy part
Acknowledging that dealing with the partner's father was easier compared to the challenges faced in maintaining love.
How could we have known how hard it'd be
Reflecting on the unexpected difficulties encountered in staying in love.
Just tryin' to stay in love, I thought I knew tough
Believing that staying in love is tough, realizing the challenges.
We did some growin' up, watched some friends give up
Growing up and witnessing friends giving up on their relationships.
Life's thrown it all at us, but here we stand
Standing strong despite life's challenges and hardships.
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
Acknowledging a long journey with obstacles ahead.
Don't give a damn what the world says
Disregarding societal opinions and staying true to oneself.
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
Reaffirming the commitment to one's life purpose.
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin'
Commitment to facing challenges without avoidance.
Is gonna keep me from lovin' you
Reiterating the determination to love despite any hindrance.
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
Repeating the idea of a challenging journey with obstacles.
Don't give a damn what the world says
Ignoring external judgments and continuing on the chosen path.
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
Restating the commitment to fulfill one's destiny.
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin'
Emphasizing the determination to face challenges head-on.
Is gonna keep me from lovin' you
Reiterating the commitment to love despite any obstacles.
Keep me from lovin' you, baby
Final affirmation of the unwavering commitment to love.
