My Love
Lionel Richie · Lionel Richie
It's a wonder I ain't lost my mind
And I ain't never said how much I need you sugar
But I should need you by my side
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the time
Life with me I know for sure it ain't be easy
But you stayed with me anyway
And even though you ain't gonna lose too much by leaving
I'm so glad you stayed
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the time
You've been my friend and you've been my lover, oh lord
Hoeny you're everything I need
You've made my love so strong now I know where I belong
Oh girl you'll never have to worry
Oh baby any more, any more
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the time

As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the romantic themes prevalent in his work, often appearing alongside other signature hits like "Stuck On You" and "Can't Slow Down."
