Love You Like I Should
Unveiling Love's True Essence
Lyrics
And I love you like I should
Expressing genuine love in a proper manner
You can take it for granted
Suggesting that the love is reliable and can be expected
You can still be very romantic
Highlighting the possibility of maintaining romance
When you're sure of the love you have
Emphasizing the strength of a secure and confident love
And no gift is ideal - but then why should it be
Questioning the necessity for an ideal gift in love
You were born desperate to give
Acknowledging the innate desire to give in relationships
So you go find a Jesus
Suggesting the search for spiritual guidance or inspiration
Or you're desperate to be clever
Indicating a desire for intellectual stimulation or wit
So you spend your time alone a lot
Describing a tendency to spend time alone for self-reflection
Convincing yourself - or preaching 'this is how you should live'
Highlighting the internal conflict of convincing oneself about a preferred lifestyle
And all the while lying to your given self
Pointing out the self-deception for survival
For the sake of survival - the sake of mere survival
Emphasizing the sacrifice for mere survival
And I love you like I should
Reiterating the expression of genuine love
And I love you like I Should
Repeating the declaration of sincere love
Don't make a rule you never could
Advising against setting unrealistic rules in love
And I love you like I should
Reaffirming the expression of genuine love
And I love you like I should
Expressing love once again for emphasis
And I love you like I should
Reiterating the genuine love being shared
Don't make a rule you never could
Cautioning against imposing unattainable rules in love
And I love you like I should
Affirming the continued expression of genuine love
And the more you open up
Highlighting the importance of openness in a relationship
And the more that I learn
Emphasizing the continuous process of learning in love
I am in no position to make a moral decision
Declaring a lack of authority in making moral decisions
And the powers-that-would-be
Referring to influential entities without control over personal freedom
Can't touch the freedom in me
Asserting the invincibility of personal freedom
cause the power that is was ours all along.
Claiming the inherent power possessed all along
I love U like I should....And don't you forget it!
Reiterating the genuine love expressed earlier
