If you take nothing else from this song into your future and current romance, then acknowledge this lyric: Those arms you have around me, WILL let me go some day; Id rather leave you holding on, than (your) pushing me away. So, Im leaving. This time, Im playing it smart. Im gonna walk away from Love before LOVE...Breaks my heart! -David Ruffin On the surface, it may sound like the dude is making a convenient plot to escape commitment. Not so. For those who agree that 1.) God is LOVE 2.) God will not be mocked, then 3.) we would do well to unpack what The Spinners gave us with the hit song Love Dont Love Nobody. They didnt mean that God dont love nobody; thats wack. The song simply means that if you dont wisen up and treat that person properly, then you expose yourself to the same fate as the last fool who mishandled romance. Now, suppose listening and heeding dirty old man music aint yo thang; cool. In 1998/1999, Juvenile released 400Degreez and rapped a similar sentiment toward the latter part of (Im) Fire, only with NSFW colorful language. The challenge with being an advocate of love is when we get so specific in our issue that we alienate our audience. And who isnt gluten-free these days? Its there in our Songs of Solomon, too. This man/woman thing comes down to the same common denominators: if you love a man, it starts with him feeling respected THEN his love language of choice and a dab of your love language of mastery. Bulldozing him with the finest of love marred with even a hint of disrespect will only delay that inevitable visit to the pawn shop. (cuz what good is a ring if theres no one to wear it?) If you love a woman, it starts with her feeling unique, THEN her primary and secondary love languages of choice. If you arent doing anything different than the other dudes vying for position, then one of yall will soon be deemed redundant. David took the easy way out. Will you?
