Story Behind The Song

This song was written as a love song (with a twist) to my wife. I wanted to make sure it told the real story of how relationships and people aren't perfect but love in fact can endure our shortcomings.

Song Description

A soulful R&B/Hip Hop infused song influenced by the styles of Raphael Saadiq and D'Angelo. It's the story of how love can endure the personality flaws of the two involved, told from the man's point of view. Hard hitting groove with lush guitar, driving bass, and smooth rhodes underlying a flowing melody.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Excuse me miss
but have we met before
Oh please don't ignore
the changes you've been going through
I guess it's ok
cause we can grow for sure
yet I get annoyed
by all the things that you been putting me through
Hey this helps me to know that our love has roots that go deeper than any love I've known before
You don't always say goodnight
Still cooking instant rice
Washed my green shorts with the whites

chorus:
But I love you anyway
(Even when your complaining, just mad about nothing at all)
I love you anyway
(Running late but you still take your time)
I love you anyway
(Used up all the hot water in morning ohh but I love you)

verse 2:
I must admit sometimes I want to call it quits
thinking is this really it
but you assure me I won't find a better girl
from day one I knew you were the one for me
I look in your eyes and still see
the possibilities of what we can be
well sure you can get the best of me and open minded I must be to resolve the problems between you and me
I guess it all goes with monogamy
even when we don't agree no one else will do it for me

chorus:
I love you anyway
(mess up my plans when I'm hanging with my boys)
but I love you anyway
(freak out when I take too long coming from the store)
I love you anyway
(spend all of my money then ask for more)
but I love you

Sometimes your playing games
but I love you anyway
And when your moods change
I love you anyway
You don't wanna give it up
I love you anyway
Try to make me all jealous and stuff
but I love you
Complain about my clothes
but I love you anyway
And you think I'm out cheating with some hoes
But I love you
You don't like my friends
but I love you
and your always sleeping in
but I love you ...
