Come Down Baby Let Me Know Erykah Badu Lyrics
Picture this: Yous've orchestrated the perfect at-home date for your significant other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly dwelling house-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But just as your person texts you that they're on their way, you realize that you have no thought what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambient. After all, yous can't have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up up on shuffle while you're trying to stare lovingly into your partner's eyes (nada ruins the mood like the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the beginning of "Soulja Boy." And yeah, that example is based on a truthful story).
Anyway, I've got you covered with my list of the most cute, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my apprehensive stance). You'll accept your shell/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Virtually romantic lyrics: "I'm in your heart, I'm in your dream/ So fuck the world information technology'southward you and me"
Rationale: When the outside world becomes brutal, many couples plough inward and develop that us-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it'southward like to feel close to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves about his partner, like her "stained drinking glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented skin, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every way, and Mac delivers them with his characteristic rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Most romantic lyrics: "These artillery of mine, they are lone/ Alone and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you"
Rationale: This vocal hits me right in the chest. Information technology'south impossible non to feel your arms and breast aching similar Reddings' when he sings about burning to concur his lover. The music crescendos around his shine vocalization every bit he begs, "And if you would let them agree you/ Oh, how grateful I would be." Information technology's such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, too.
"Ex Gene" - Lauryn Loma
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "See, no one loves you more than me/ and no ane ever will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Factor" (and on this whole album, permit'south be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her young man. We recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, only Colina's honesty is so beautiful that we humble listeners have no choice but to sit, transfixed, and mind.
"Skinny Love" - Bon Iver
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Told my love to wreck it all/ Cut out all the ropes and allow me fall"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in middle schoolhouse. I could not terminate singing it as I traipsed through my house, near-tears as I crooned about "the sink of blood and crushed veneer," as though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic dear affairs.
However, this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what it's like to fully surrender yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt yous in the end. I still sing this song while I lounge around my trivial studio apartment, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I assure y'all that none of them involved claret-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
About romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face up to face/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to love me/ I need you today/ Give me to me your leather, take from me my lace"
Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its about poignant. She wrote "Leather and Lace" herself so performed information technology with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is beautiful in and of itself, simply their chemistry and passion for each other makes it all the more than impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I remember thinking, My God, dude. Why would you lot exercise this to me?
Wrecked.
The Mode You Look This evening" - Frank Sinatra
Near romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never change/ continue that breathless charm/ won't you delight arrange it?/ 'Cause I honey you/ Just the way you look tonight"
Rationale: Ah, aye. The song that plays at every wedding on globe. Pop songs are pop for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of honey that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra's version, I'm also fractional to Fred Astaire's rendition in the 1936 pic Swing Time and the sweet yet tongue-in-cheek visuals get forth with information technology.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Almost romantic lyrics: "Let me be your everlasting light/ Your train going away from pain/ Beloved is the coal that makes this railroad train roll/ Let me be your everlasting low-cal"
Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, the whole song sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The love in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a beginning date.
"To Know Him Is To Honey Him" - Amy Winehouse
Most romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to dearest, love, dearest him/ Simply to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No 1 does unbridled honey like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful voice takes middle stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you're not already in love, it will brand you want to be.
"Like Real People Do" - Hozier
Most romantic lyrics: "I will not enquire you where y'all came from/ I volition not enquire you, neither should you/ Honey, but put your sweet lips on my lips/ We should only osculation like real people do"
Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to merely love him. At that place's a sense that both people in the vocal consider themselves odd in some mode (again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Like Existent People Do" reminds us of how miraculous it feels to love and be loved back.
"Can't Take My Eyes Off Yous" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
About romantic lyrics: "You're merely too good to be true/ Can't take my eyes off of you/ You'd be similar heaven to bear upon/ I wanna concord you so much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home land of New Jersey: They just don't make 'em like this anymore. And information technology's truthful―this vocal manages to residue emotional and sexual yearning without beingness rough.
And just... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings nigh loving his daughter and so much that he thanks God he's alive. My Lord. They actually merely do not brand 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, male child/ Running on my mind, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Ocean's most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say nigh it. In fact, I one time made a very loud, spirited defense of this song when I was in high school, right after Ocean's sick-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 flick Forrest Gump. It'southward virtually a cleaved, tired person coming back to their pure, enduring dearest subsequently a slap-up deal of time has passed. Information technology's especially meaningful, in my opinion, because Ocean penned the vocal in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Accept Me The Mode I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Nigh romantic lyrics: "'Cause I dear you more I could e'er promise/ And you have me the fashion I am"
Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-girl love songs of the early 2000s, and this one was her most popular. Michaelson rejoices in having found a partner who loves her, flaws and all, and she responds in kind, promising to repair what her partner breaks and buy him Rogaine when his hair starts falling out. It's a promise to love someone forever.
"I'm Not Dead" - P!nk
Most romantic lyrics: "Right across the cigarette and the devilish smile/Yous're my crevice of sunlight/ You can do the math a thou ways/ Only you can't erase the facts/ That others come and others get/ But you lot always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk'south music. In "I'chiliad Non Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic honey song nigh existence a flawed human securely in love with another flawed human. Waxing poetic most her and her young man'southward (her future husband, Cary Hart, past the way) tattoos and alluding to her own mental disease, P!nk eschews all tired clichés about dearest in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Nigh romantic lyrics: "A man of faith said hidden eyes could see what I was thinkin'/ I simply smiled and told him/ That was only true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your cute words! In this song, our narrator seems to exist moving effectually the U.Due south. with his dear Hannah until she grows homesick for the east coast. Having lived in New England for effectually 7 years, I'm partial to this song for its "freezing beaches" references, simply it'south also a gentle tribute to the way fourth dimension glides away when you're with someone y'all love.
"A Song For You" - Donny Hathaway
Almost romantic lyrics: "I dearest you in a place/ Where there's no infinite or fourth dimension/ I love you for my life/ You're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Remember when we were together"
Rationale: In that location have been many versions of this vocal, but this one's my favorite. Information technology was as well Amy Winehouse'due south favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that i tin't help but feel he's reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a adult female he neglected to settle down with because he was too busy performing effectually the world.
"Maps" - Yeah Yes Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind's your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Yes, this vocal is xc pct simply Karen O singing "Await, they don't love yous similar I love you," only information technology'southward then powerful! If yous say something the right manner, and the accompanying music is good enough, there's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 single "Hold Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade after, across genres.
"If I Own't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some merely want everything/ Merely everything ways zip/ If I ain't got y'all"
Rationale: This song is all the more touching when you retrieve that she wrote it but as she was beginning to get famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―along with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all hateful nothing if she didn't have her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Virtually romantic lines: "I am the girl my parents made/ Why don't you love me anyway/ 'Cause I love the way you take upwardly space"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Lead vocaliser Felix Walworth delivers this song and then earnestly that his phonation literally cracks during that last line. I've never heard a simpler or more startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes up infinite.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Most romantic lyrics: "To be even more honest/ No ane thinks well-nigh you/ The style I do" (Translated from Castilian)
Rationale: Shakira spends about of this song laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to make java, that she doesn't empathise soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and then proceeds to ask her man to love her anyhow.
"I Found You" - Alabama Shakes
Most romantic lyrics: "I recall all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ Then you brought me everything/ You fabricated my house a home"
Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. So who meliorate to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The Iv Seasons
Near romantic lines: "I'd change her deplorable rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't allow me/ 'Crusade they say that she'south no adept."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons vocal, yeah. I'm from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing near replacing her tattered clothes with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song by crying, "I love you just the mode you are."
He wants to give everything to someone who tin can offering him nothing material. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You lot" - Led Zeppelin
Most romantic lyrics: "Just babe, since I've been loving you, yeah/ I'm most to lose my worried mind/ Oh, yep"
Rationale: Human, these lyrics await and so underwhelming when written down sans musical accompaniment. It's tragic.
What makes this vocal so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work past John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant'due south searing vocals. It's a power blues song that hits y'all right in the gut. If desperate want were a sound, this would exist information technology.
"You lot Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots
Most romantic lines: "If you don't worry 'bout where/ I been or who I saw or/ What lodge I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, you know that you lot got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this alive. Erykah reassures her swain during the chorus that she'll always be loyal to him, while Black Thought (lead MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It's the all-time beloved song in hip hop, hands downwardly.
"(Yous Brand Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin
Most romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and institute/ Yous came forth to claim information technology/ I didn't know just what was wrong with me/ 'Til your kiss helped me name it"
Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than wait around for someone to heal u.s., but that doesn't mean that love can't be a healing feel. It's really romantic to give thanks someone for making you lot experience good, and that'southward precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole King) is about.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Most romantic lyrics: "We can't help just follow, she'due south Buddha, simply watch her/ She moves like an old gypsy adult female but swears she's a girl/ And all that she asks nosotros'll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the 60 minutes"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both still dating and yet the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a quiet dearest letter to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing it to her at night past the campfire while the balance of the ring is comatose (that's this ring's vibe, really). It'southward a shame that we no longer get to scout the sweetness relationship between these talented musicians, but at to the lowest degree we'll ever have this hippie love song.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
Most romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ You know I tin can't let you/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me away"
Rationale: One of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s also happened to write one of the virtually poignant songs nigh love and devotion. This is near a long, deep intimacy between two people, and of being physically unable to resist the person you adore.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Virtually romantic lyrics: "I would sleep better on your floor/ Than I would always in my bed/ And if your carpet makes my face crawling/ It'd still exist heaven in my caput"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the in a higher place lyrics, sung with lead vocaliser Brian Sella'southward signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his dearest for this daughter, promising to practice his guitar every night, to sleep on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his doctor's advice―all to win her love. We shouldn't have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls eyes* yeah, aye yes), but this is fine art. And if nosotros're beingness honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their beloved to be reciprocated.
"Loving You" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'm seen with someone new/ Don't be blue, don't you be blueish/ I'll be faithful, I'll exist truthful/ Always true, true to yous"
Rationale: Elvis tells his dearest not to get jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the one for him. Although multiple sources take claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest honey song.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
Nigh romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ But dorsum home he'll always run/ To sugariness Melissa"
Rationale: Hither, the Allman Brothers sing most a traveling musician who tin can't become over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She e'er ends up resurfacing in his mind, and eventually, he always returns to her.
"My Onetime Homo" - Joni Mitchell
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "He's my sunshine in the morning/ He's my fireworks at the end of the day/ He'southward the warmest chord I ever head/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby"
Rationale: Mitchell'south soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her relationship in this song, insisting throughout that, "We don't demand no piece of paper from the city hall." She's saying that she doesn't demand external validation of the relationship―this man gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bond.
"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye Westward, Rick Ross
Most romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The style yous await should be a sin, you lot my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is all the same one of my favorite albums of all fourth dimension. It's a bittersweet tribute to his infamous relationship with Amber Rose, and this song encapsulates the oftentimes-sexy, always-complicated connection between two people who aren't good for each other, yet can't stay away from one some other.
"Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common
Most romantic lyrics: "Just that is all behind me/ 'Crusade at present there is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life"
Rationale: Conventional advice tells us to fall in dear with someone who can be our friend, likewise. This song is nearly two lifelong best friends who find their way dorsum to each other after time spent apart. With her famously beguiling phonation, Erykah Badu captures the joy of beingness truly known by i's partner.
"A Sunday Kind of Dearest" - Etta James
Most romantic lyrics: "I want a Lord's day kind of honey/ A beloved to last by Saturday dark/ I want to know information technology's more than love at first sight"
Rationale: We've all been at this point before. If Etta James were to accept written this song today, she would have been explaining that she was sick of ane-night-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Hinge dates that get nowhere. She'd exist saying she was tired of sweaty strangers in bars shouting into her ear, over deafening music, asking if she wants to take a shot.
Instead, she'd want something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Schitt'due south Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May we all find that Dominicus kind love.

Rationale: This song sounds like it was written in the '50s or '60s. In some ways, information technology's your run-of-the-factory boring song, just there'southward something charming about the Chill Monkeys being the ones to perform this retro pledge of devotion.
"She Will Exist Loved" - Maroon 5
Most romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I remember listening to this song in middle schoolhouse, wishing that the male child I had a beat on would love me enough to stand up outside my window in the rain. In retrospect, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explain to my mother, and these days I would probably find such behavior creepy (when I'm in my pajamas in my flat, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the terminal matter I need is a man standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this song nonetheless stands.
"Considering the Dark" - Patti Smith

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Non really sure how to feel virtually it/ Somethin' in the way you move/ Makes me feel like I tin can't alive without you"
Rationale: Love isn't a formula. There'south no real logic to why we autumn in love with some people but not others, and Rihanna hits the nail on the head when she says it'due south simply "something in the way [he] move[s]." It's reminiscent of The Beatles' vocal "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles
About romantic lyrics: "Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover / Something in the manner she woos me / I don't want to leave her now"

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Almost romantic lyrics: "And they love each other so/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, love each other then/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This song is about two non-binary people falling in love, which is pretty absurd for a song from 1984. Our main characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, dear each other regardless of gender. The Replacements brand a compelling argument about why traditional gender roles and clothing should brand no difference if y'all're truly in dearest with someone.
"I'll Be Seeing You" - Billie Vacation
Most romantic lyrics: "I'll observe you in the morning time lord's day/ In every lovely summer's 24-hour interval/ In everything that's correct and gay/ I'll e'er think of you"
Rationale: Y'all know when you're freshly in love (or heartbroken), and everything reminds yous of that person? That'south what this song is about. Everything around Holiday―the natural earth, a park, a cafe, a carousel―is a fond reminder of her dearest.
"Lord's day Candy" - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment
Most romantic lyrics: "Y'all've got to motion it slowly/ Take it in my torso like it's holy/ I've been waiting for you lot for the whole calendar week/ I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday processed"
Rationale: The Social Experiment is the hip hop collective that boasts members such every bit Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa (the former of which is featured heavily on this song). Jamila Woods performs the chorus to this song so sweetly that it'due south easy to forget the sexual implications, and she and Chance tell the story of a couple that spends a week at a fourth dimension missing each other, absorbed in thoughts of 1 some other until they're finally reunited.
"Come up As Y'all Are" - Nirvana
Most romantic lyrics: "Come as y'all are/ Equally you were/ As I want you to be"
Rationale: There are many interpretations of what this vocal means, ranging from mental health to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. But, to me, "Come As You Are" works as the ultimate grunge love vocal; every bit a promise to love and appreciate someone just the way they are.
"Please, Please, Delight" - James Chocolate-brown
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Baby delight, baby please, delight me/ Baby please, baby delight don't get/ Don't get, I said baby, don't babe/ I honey you then"
Rationale: This vocal is about entirely comprised of James Brownish repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers near that before its release. Merely, similar the Yes Yep Yeahs' "Maps," this track's magic lies in the passion with which it'southward delivered–and James Brown is naught if not passionate.
"I Will Always Honey Yous" - Dolly Parton
Most romantic lyrics: "And I promise life volition care for you lot kind/ And I hope that you have all/ That you ever dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish y'all joy/ And I wish you lot happiness/ Only in a higher place all this/ I wish you love"
Rationale: Without a dubiousness, you're familiar with Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Love You lot," merely I love Dolly Parton'southward soft-spoken, country version besides. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a not bad culling for when you want to hear this song on a placidity evening in.
"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "And I wish you lot all the love in the world/ But virtually of all, I wish it from myself/ And the songbirds go along singing/ Similar they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac'southward members were notorious for hooking up within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and chief singer on this song) was no exception. This is a unique beloved song, considering it does unconditional love unlike whatsoever other: Information technology illustrates how it's entirely possible to love someone and want the best for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you lot might not be that best matter.
"First Twenty-four hour period of My Life" - Bright Optics
Near romantic lyrics: "Merely I realized I demand y'all/ And I wondered if I could come abode"
Rationale: This Vivid Optics rails makes me wish I was ameliorate at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his honey, telling her, "I'1000 glad I didn't die before I met you," and asking for permission to arroyo. It's an practise in startling honesty, and the result, like the whole album, is profound.
"Sea of Love" - True cat Power
Most romantic lyrics: "Come with me, my beloved/ To the sea, the sea of dear/ I wanna tell you lot/ How much I love you "
Rationale: Originally, the last song on this list was going to be T.I.'s "Any Yous Like" because I'chiliad adamant that it will play at my wedding ane mean solar day (I'one thousand not kidding), but "Body of water of Honey" is also romantic to pass upwards. With minimal instrumentation, Cat Power delivers a cursory but heartfelt love letter whose genius lies in its profound simplicity. x/10.
