Lyrics

Introduction: Credits the song's writers, Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy.
Today we broke up, tomorrow we'll make up
Expressing the cyclic nature of the relationship—breaking up today, making up tomorrow.
And again he'll hang up on me
Anticipation of phone hang-ups, suggesting a volatile relationship.
But you see I know he'll never hurt me
Confident that despite disagreements, the partner won't intentionally harm.
I know he'll never desert me
Belief in partner's loyalty and commitment.
And so I just say that's my man anyway
Claiming the partner as their own despite challenges.
Tonight we'll love plenty, tomorrow maybe not any
Acknowledges the temporary nature of love but remains hopeful.
But I'm sure he'll come through just in time
Expectation that the partner will come through in difficult times.
And to me he's more than just a man
Viewing the partner as more than just a man—elevated significance.
He's my life so I understand why things has got to be his way
Understanding and accepting the partner's unique way of handling things.
And I love him so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Expresses deep, painful love for the partner.
Yes, I do, so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Reiteration of intense love despite the emotional pain it causes.
He makes me cry when I wanna laugh sometimes
Describes moments when the partner's actions bring tears instead of joy.
His moods, they keep changing all the time
Highlights the partner's unpredictable and changing moods.
But I know just where his head is when it's not laying on top of mine
Understanding the partner's thoughts even without direct communication.
His world is not so different and you may not believe
Comparing the partner's world, indicating it's relatable despite seeming different.
But I'm sure you'd understand him if you were me
Confident that others would understand the partner if in the same situation.
And that's why this world can't look and frown
Defiant against judgment, asserting love despite disapproving looks.
But I'll never let him down
Commitment to never letting the partner down.
That is my man and he means the world to me
Emphasizes the partner's importance to the speaker.
And I love him so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Repeats the intense love despite the accompanying pain.
Yes, I love him so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Reaffirms the depth of love, acknowledging the hurt it brings.
Oh (so much, so much 'til it hurts me)
Reiteration of the intense love causing emotional pain.
I love him so (so much, so much 'til it hurts me) much
Strong declaration of love despite the challenges.
So much, so much--
Repeating the intensity of love without reservation.
