Loved the Hell
Unwavering Love Despite Imperfections
Lyrics
A hundred times my mama told me
Acknowledging advice from the speaker's mother who warned about a troublesome person.
That boy's trouble with a capital T
Emphasizing the problematic nature of the person, described as trouble with a capital T.
You'll never change him, I know his kind
Accepting the person's flaws and the unlikelihood of change, based on the speaker's knowledge of their character.
But I didn't pay her any mind
Disregarding the mother's advice, implying a choice to ignore warnings.
'Cause, I, I, I, I just loved the hell outta him
Expressing intense love for the person despite their flaws or troubles.
Yeah, I, I, I, I just loved the hell outta him
Reiterating the strong emotional attachment and love for the person.
He used to go out on the town
Describing the person's past behavior of staying out late and closing all the bars.
Close every single beer joint down
Highlighting the person's social habits and possibly reckless lifestyle.
But I never asked him where he'd been
Choosing not to question the person about their whereabouts despite their late-night activities.
When he'd come draggin' in
Accepting the person when they return home without seeking details about their actions.
'Cause, I, I, I, I just loved the hell outta him
Reaffirming the unconditional love for the person, even with their imperfections.
Yeah, I, I, I, I just loved the hell outta him
Expressing deep affection and commitment to the person despite any challenges.
He swore the one thing he'd never do
Stating a promise made by the person to never sit beside the speaker in a pew (possibly in a church setting).
Is sit here beside me in this pew
Addressing the person's reluctance to engage in a particular behavior or commitment.
So I just smiled and said amen
Reacting positively to the person's unexpected action, using religious language ("amen").
This mornin' when he walked in
Describing the person's entrance into a place of worship, defying their earlier commitment.
Guess, I, I, I, I just loved the hell outta him
Reflecting on the speaker's enduring love for the person despite their actions and choices.
Yeah, I, I, I, I just loved the hell outta him
Reiterating the strong emotional connection and commitment to loving the person.
