As Long As You Love Me

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me" made it out as #8 on the iTunes top 10 chart this week. Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter discovered in 2008. He was discovered through his videos on YouTube by Scooter Braun. Bieber's newest album is called Believe, and he's been working on this album for the past year. Another hit from his album Believe is "Boyfriend" which is one of my favorite songs by Bieber. Boyfriend was the second highest debut sold song within a week in history. In nearly a week, over 57,000 copies of Believe were sold in Canada, versus 115,000 copies sold in the U.S. 

"As Long As You Love Me" had always struck to me as an annoying song. I've never been a huge fan of Justin Bieber, and not because of the usual given reasons. Usual given reasons being his girlish voice, always sings about love, and his being Canadian. I'm not sure why any of that matters, but it does not affect my opinion on the few songs I enjoy from him. I like "As Long As You Love Me" because of the meaning of the song. I watched the official music video to get the true meaning, and I kind of like the song. The song is very easy to relate to.

 

As long as you love me [x3]

We're under pressure,
Seven billion people in the world trying to fit in
Keep it together,
Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know, girl,
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances

As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)

I'll be your soldier,
Fighting every second of the day for your dreams, girl
I'll be your Hova
You can be my Destiny's Child on the scene girl
So don't stress, don't cry, we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand

As long as you love me
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)
As long as you love, love, love, love me (love me)

Yo, B-I-G
I don't know if this makes sense, but you're my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, and I'll rendezvous, and I'll fly you to it,
I'll beat you there
Girl you know I got you
Us, trust...
A couple of things I can't spell without 'U'
Now we are on top of the world, 'cause that's just how we do
Used to tell me, "Sky's the limit", now the sky's our point of view (view)
Man now we stepping out like, "Whoa" (Oh God)
Cameras point and shoot (shoot)
Ask me what's my best side, I stand back and point at you
You, you the one that I argue with, I feel like I need a new girl to be bothered with,
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side,
It's green where you water it
So I know we got issues baby true, true, true,
But I'd rather work on this with you
Than to go ahead and start with someone new
As long as you love me

As long as you love me (Love me yeah yeah yeah)
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold
As long as you love, love, love, love me
As long as you love, love, love, love me
As long as you love, love, love, love me (I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold)
As long as you love, love, love, love me
As long as you love, love, love, love me
As long as you love me
