Consequence Of Love
Gregory Porter · Take Me To The Alley
I will go
To the consequence of love
Whatever come what may
You see a gain for me is you
I will fight
For the right to be your love
No matter what they say
You see the game for me is you
I begin to hate
Time and distance
'Cause it makes me wait
That's all I seem to do
I will go
To the consequence of love
Whatever come what may
You see the gain for me is you
I will fight
For the right to be your love
No matter what they say
You see the game for me is you
I begin to hate
Time and distance
'Cause it makes me wait
That's all I seem to do
I'll anticipate
With all my patience
'Cause it makes me wait
Coming home to you
I will go
To the consequence of love
Whatever come what may
You see a gain for me is you
I will fight
For the right to be your love
No matter what they say
You see the game for me is you
The game for me is you
The game for me is you
The game for me is love
To the consequence of love
Whatever come what may
You see a gain for me is you
I will fight
For the right to be your love
No matter what they say
You see the game for me is you
I begin to hate
Time and distance
'Cause it makes me wait
That's all I seem to do
I will go
To the consequence of love
Whatever come what may
You see the gain for me is you
I will fight
For the right to be your love
No matter what they say
You see the game for me is you
I begin to hate
Time and distance
'Cause it makes me wait
That's all I seem to do
I'll anticipate
With all my patience
'Cause it makes me wait
Coming home to you
I will go
To the consequence of love
Whatever come what may
You see a gain for me is you
I will fight
For the right to be your love
No matter what they say
You see the game for me is you
The game for me is you
The game for me is you
The game for me is love
About Consequence of Love
"Consequence of Love" highlights Gregory Porter's strengths as a jazz and soul vocalist: a rich baritone, clear diction, and a gift for making reflective songs feel generous rather than heavy. Porter often writes about love, faith, family, and resilience in language that is direct but carefully shaped. This song fits that approach, treating love not as a simple mood but as something with aftermath, responsibility, and emotional weight. The arrangement leaves room for his voice to carry the central argument, while the groove keeps the performance grounded. It is polished contemporary vocal jazz with a strong singer-songwriter core.
