My Love Lyrics

[Intro: Justin Timberlake]
Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my—

[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (What would you do?)

If I told you you were beautiful
Would you date me on the regular? (Tell me, would you?)
Well, baby, I've been around the world
But I ain't seen myself another girl (Like you)
This ring here represents my heart
But there's just one thing I need from you (Saying "I do")

Because

[Pre-Hook: Justin Timberlake]
I can see us holdin' hands
Walkin' on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sittin' on the grass, layin' side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy

[Hook: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland]
See, all I want you to do is be my love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot, my love
Girl, my love, my love
[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]
Now if I wrote you a love note
And made you smile at every word I wrote (What would you do?)
Would that make you wanna change your scene
And wanna be the one on my team? (Tell me, would you?)
See, what's the point in waitin' anymore?
'Cause girl, I've never been more sure (That, baby, it's you)
This ring here represents my heart
And everything that you'd been waitin' for (Just say it, "I do")

Because

[Pre-Hook: Justin Timberlake]
I can see us holdin' hands
Walkin' on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sittin' on the grass, layin' side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy

[Hook: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland]
See, all I want you to do is be my love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
My love (So don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot, my love
Girl, my love, my love
[Interlude: T.I.]
Aight, it's time to get it, JT
I don't know what you're hesitatin' for, man
Ay, ay, ay

[Verse 3: T.I.]
Shawty cool as a fan, on the move once again (Ay)
But he still has fans from Peru to Japan
Hey, listen, baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan (Nah)
But if you got a man, try to lose him if you can
'Cause the girls worldwide throw they hands up high
When they wanna come and kick it with a stand-up guy

You don't really wanna let the chance go by
'Cause you ain't been seen with a man so fly
And, babe, with friends, so fly, I can go fly
Private, 'cause I handle my B.I
They call me Candle Guy (Why?)
Simply 'cause I am on fire (Haha)
I hate to have to cancel my vacation, so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I ain't gon' try (Nah)
You don't come, I ain't gon' die
Hold up, what'd you mean, you can't go? Why? (Why?)
Me and your boyfriend, we ain't no tie (Uh-uh)
You say you wanna kick it when I ain't so high (Man...)
Well, baby, it's obvious that I ain't yo' guy
I ain't gon' lie, I'll fill your space
But forget your face, I swear I will
St. Bart's, Anguilla, anywhere I chill (Nice)
Just bring with me a pair, I will (C'mon)
[Pre-Hook: Justin Timberlake]
I can see us holdin' hands
Walkin' on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sittin' on the grass, layin' side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]
See, all I want you to do is be my love (Love)
My love (Love)
My love (Love)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (Love)
My love (Love)
My love (Love)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot, my love
Girl, my love, my love

Genius Annotation

Serving as his second single from his FutureSex / LoveSounds album and in collaboration with Timbaland and T.I,, Justin Timberlake released “My Love” on October 24, 2006. Here, he took a musical approach to express his love for his partner, the ways he sees a bright future with her by spending the most romantic moments together, and claim that she is irreplaceable.

According to Timberlake, this R&B track took “two hours to imagine and execute”, along with critics slightly relating it to his 2002 hit single, “Cry Me A River”.

“It is similar. You go back to Aaliyah’s biggest record, “Are You That Somebody”—it’s similar to that too because it’s that percussive ballad”.

Relatively speaking, many have described Timberlake’s track in various ways: from a “languid love ballad, prickling with dark emotion”, a “slow, saucy beat”, with a “twitching mass of rave synthesizers”. Critical responses were positive, with the R&B crooner being praised for his ability to “reinvent mainstream pop music and increase his artistic credibility at the same time”. In addition, more recent reports described the song as being “one of the foundational texts of the PBR&B explosion of the 2010s”.

Ultimately, “My Love” managed to help Timberlake in winning a Grammy award in 2007 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
