This is another one of the songs that stays on repeat in my head for some reason... probably because I'm a JHud fan. I'm probably also slightly stubborn in love and in relationships as she is in this song.
"I've been through some things, please don't hold that against me. Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you. Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you. Even though I, still can feel a sting, no need to second guess me - can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you. Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you." Like all of us, she is admitting that she has dealt with things in life and that has likely brought some baggage, but she is asking for patience and understanding with her stuff. Even with her stuff, she is asserting that no one will be able to love her boo better than she can. Even with the things that their relationship may have caused or some of the things that have affected her in the past, she assures her boo that there is no need to question her love, because it's steady and it is unlike any that anyone else will be able to give. "See I don't mind you putting up a little bit of fight, it's alright. But why run from what's gonna hold you tight through any complications? Baby, maybe we can start tonight! Hey! I saw the dirty look she gave me. Don't care what your ex do - can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you! Ain't no one gonna love you like I'm gonna love you! And if you dare, don't dare, send me straight to voice mail, Babe, I'm just gonna text you. Hope it ain't no issue, I just gotta let you know no one to love you like I'm gonna love you!" The singer is aware that there may be some resistance, but she feels that ultimately, they will end up together. She wonders why her boo would run from a relationship that is clearly one that is committed and that provides love and that is necessary even in the difficulties. She says that they should not delay - they should just go ahead and embrace the love that they share. She's not concerned about the ex or how she feels, because she is confident of the love that they can share. [I will make a note here, however, that if the ex is still very much involved and influential, or if the ex can affect your present relationship, there is a problem. If your boo can't stand up to their ex on your behalf or keep him/her out of your relationship, you may need to reconsider if you the primary in your boo's life.] And she even refuses to be ignored, being persistent in what she believes in. While she may seem pushy, she is stubborn enough to fight for love, because she believes that no one can love her boo the way she can.
"I put that on everything! Ain't no one gonna love you! Ain't no one gonna hold you! Show you what I could show you! Somebody better told you! Baby, your name's spelled out in every heartbeat! Ain't no one gonna love you! Ain't no one gonna hold you! Show you what I could show you!" She is willing to risk everything to say that no one else can love her boo and bring the kind of care and growth and enhancement to life that she can. She believes this so strongly her that heart now beats the name of her love, because her love is that much a part of her and that integral to who she is.
"But if you should go down that same road you've been before, you're in reverse, your pain rehearsed, just brace yourself for the blow. But don't you know that you could just let it go?" She recognizes that despite the love she has to offer, there will be some resistance (likely because of things in her boo's past). She knows of the pain and struggle, but she offers the chance to let all that go and find love with her.
"Don't you know I've been through some things, please don't hold that against me. Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you. Can't nobody love you like I'm gonna love you. Don't you know I'm making you this promise, clutchin' on a rosary - ain't no one gonna love you, like I'm gonna love you! Ain't no one gonna love you, like I'm gonna love you!" She changes up the chorus now to give a promise of her love. She is holding a rosary, almost as if to bring God into the mix and say that this isn't just her promising her love - God is part of this thing too. That should give further assurance that this will be a love like no other.
