In Love by Now
Love's Elusive Dance: Jamie Foxx's Reflection on Romance
Lyrics
I'm supposed to be in love by now (By now), by now (By now)
I expected to be in love at this point in my life.
It's been so long for me, I don't know how (Know how), by now (By now)
It's been a long time, and I'm unsure how to be in love now.
Been drowning in the sea of broken vows, by now (By now)
I've experienced the pain of broken promises and relationships.
But I'm supposed to be in love by now (By now), by now (By now)
Despite my past, I still anticipate being in love.
I've been chasing my dream, I've been chasing you
I've been pursuing my dreams and also pursuing a romantic interest.
Running hard but my legs feel weak
I've been working hard, but I feel physically and emotionally exhausted.
I done played every part, I done played a fool
I've played various roles, including that of a fool, in the pursuit of love.
Write the movie, I'll be your lead
If life were a movie, I'd want to be the lead character for you.
'Cause I'm supposed to be in love by now (By now), by now (By now)
Despite setbacks, I still believe I should be in love by now.
Well girl you stole my heart now take a bow, by now
The person has captured my heart; they should acknowledge it.
In love by now
This line reinforces the expectation of being in love by now.
Well I'm supposed to walk you down the aisle (Aisle), by now (By now)
I should be at the stage of walking you down the aisle by now.
Change your name and make your parents smile (Smile), by now (By now)
Changing names and making parents happy should have happened already.
Leave the Church, make plans to celebrate, by now (By now)
We should be planning celebrations after leaving the Church.
A big old house and babies on the way, by now (By now)
Anticipation of a settled life with a home and children by now.
I've been chasing my dream, I've been chasing you
Reiteration of the pursuit of dreams and love, despite challenges.
Running hard but my legs feel weak
Struggling hard, feeling weak, and having played various roles.
I done played every part, I done played a fool
Playing the fool but willing to be the lead in the love story.
Write the movie, I'll be your lead
Willing to write the story of our love together.
Well, I'm supposed to be in love today (Today), by now (By now)
Expectation of being in love today and taking decisive actions.
Go through my phone and throw 'em all away (Away), by now
Clearing past connections in anticipation of current love.
In love by now
Affirmation of being in love by now.
Without your love, I want what they say when they write my stories
Expressing the desire for a story that reflects the impact of true love.
Without your touch, I'll never know how it feels to fly
Without your touch, I won't experience the joy of flying in love.
Drown in my emotions, now it's all on me
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions and taking responsibility for them.
Eyes are finally open to love I couldn't see
A realization that love was present but not recognized before.
Can't wait 'til I can say "Bless the day you landed in my arms"
Anticipation of expressing gratitude for the day love entered life.
I'm supposed to be in love by now
Reiteration of the expectation of being in love at this point.
I'm supposed to be in love by now
Repetition of the anticipation of being in love by now.
In love by now
Affirmation of being in love at this stage.
