I Still Love You
Rod And Terry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I think I'll take a walk down the avenue
I'd like to be at least a hundred miles from you
When you get crazy like this there's nothing else I can do
But remove myself

And when you cool down you're gonna feel bad
You'll think you've thrown away everything that we had
I'll let you agonize and think I won't be back
That's what you get for being cruel

But no matter what you ever do
I'm still gonna love you

I know every little thing that is wrong with me
I've memorized your list from A down to Z
I'll never live up to what you think I should be
So I won't try

But when we square off and tempers get hot
You better take a step back and see what you got
If my love's not enough then you're asking a lot
And there's no reason to be cruel

But no matter what you ever do
I'm still gonna love you

Well, I think it's justified you should feel so blue
Nobody has a right to do what you do
I've tried to understand, but I can't fit in your shoes
And you can't wear mine

You know you've got my love, any fool could see
And when you ask me for something, you don't have to count to three
But I'm tired of silver platters that hold nothing for me
And I'm tired of you being cruel

But no matter what you ever do
I'm still gonna love you




I can't think of anything you can do
I'm still gonna love you

Overall Meaning

The song “I Still Love You” by Rod and Terry is about a complicated relationship that involves two people who are constantly at odds with each other. The song describes a situation where one person (the singer) is trying to distance themselves from the other person (the subject of the song) in order to avoid the constant barrage of hurtful behavior. However, despite the subject's flaws and cruel tendencies, the singer still loves them and will always love them, no matter what they do.


The lyrics suggest that the subject of the song is emotionally volatile, prone to fits of anger and spiteful behavior. The singer describes how they “remove” themselves from the situation when the subject gets “crazy like this,” implying that they need to physically distance themselves in order to protect themselves from the emotional turmoil that the subject causes. The singer also acknowledges the flaws that the subject has identified in them, indicating that they are aware of their own shortcomings and perhaps understand that it is difficult for the subject to love them unconditionally.


In the final verse, the singer expresses frustration with the subject’s behavior, describing how they are “tired” of the constant cruelty and lack of appreciation. Despite this, the singer still insists that they love the subject and nothing can change that. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to accept the subject for who they are, faults and all, and that their love is unconditional.


Line by Line Meaning

Well, I think I'll take a walk down the avenue
I need some space from you right now


I'd like to be at least a hundred miles from you
I want to be far away from you


When you get crazy like this there's nothing else I can do
Your behavior is out of my control


But remove myself
I need to distance myself from you


And when you cool down you're gonna feel bad
You'll regret your actions when you calm down


You'll think you've thrown away everything that we had
You'll realize you jeopardized our relationship


I'll let you agonize and think I won't be back
I'll give you time to reflect on your behavior without me


That's what you get for being cruel
You're facing consequences for your unkind behavior


But no matter what you ever do
Despite everything, I will always love you


I know every little thing that is wrong with me
I'm aware of my flaws and shortcomings


I've memorized your list from A down to Z
I know exactly what you dislike about me


I'll never live up to what you think I should be
I can never meet your expectations


So I won't try
I won't waste my energy trying to please you


But when we square off and tempers get hot
When we argue and emotions run high


You better take a step back and see what you got
Take a moment to appreciate what we have


If my love's not enough then you're asking a lot
My love should be sufficient for our relationship


And there's no reason to be cruel
There's no justification for being unkind


Well, I think it's justified you should feel so blue
You have a reason to feel sad


Nobody has a right to do what you do
Your behavior is unacceptable


I've tried to understand, but I can't fit in your shoes
I can't relate to your perspective


And you can't wear mine
You don't understand my point of view either


You know you've got my love, any fool could see
My love for you is obvious


And when you ask me for something, you don't have to count to three
I'm always willing to help you


But I'm tired of silver platters that hold nothing for me
I'm exhausted from putting in effort with no reward


And I'm tired of you being cruel
I won't tolerate your unkind behavior anymore


But no matter what you ever do
Despite everything, I will always love you


I can't think of anything you can do
There's nothing you can do to make me stop loving you


I'm still gonna love you
My love for you is unconditional

FULL LYRICS

When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You're still the one I love, mmm, yeah
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

They said, I bet they'll never make it
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
You're still the one
Yeah (you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

I can't believe 800 people gave this a thumbs down! Maybe they had the sound turned down..

@bibbster6124

I think its because they think his voice is being filtered, to sound the way it does.
