As Long As You Love Me Lyrics

[Intro: All]
As long as you love me

[Verse 1: Nick with Brian]
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Riskin' it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

[Chorus: All]
I don't care who you are
Where you're from, what you did
As long as you love me
Who you are, where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

[Verse 2: Brian with Kevin, Nick]
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me (Oooh, ooh-ooh)
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

[Chorus: All, Brian & Nick]
I don't care who you are (Who you are)
Where you're from (Where you're from)
What you did, as long as you love me (I know)
Who you are (Who you are)
Where you're from (Where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

[Interlude: Nick & All]
Yeah-eh-eh!
As long as you love me

[Bridge: Brian with Howie & Nick, (Nick) & All]
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin' from
I don't care
As long as you love me, baby (Oooh, ooh-ooh)

[Chorus: All, Brian & Nick]
I don't care who you are (Who you are)
Where you're from (Where you're from)
What you did, as long as you love me
Who you are (Who you are)
Where you're from (Where you're from)
Don't care what you did (Yeah-eh-eh)
As long as you love me (As long as you love me)

[Outro: All, Brian & Nick]
Who you are (Who you are)
Where you're from, what you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (Who you are)
Where you're from (Where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are, as long as you love me
What you did, I don't care
As long as you love me

This song is about a man professing his love to this woman, letting her know he doesn’t care about her past as long as she loves him

“As Long As You Love Me” came in as this CD was being put to bed. Clive Calder called me and said, “Stop the presses!”
- Barry Weiss

The song was a last minute addition to the album. Clive Calder, then-chairman of Zomba, heard the song and called Jive Records president Barry Weiss, who contacted the band’s manager, Johnny Wright.

Barry calls me and says, "We have to stop everything. I've got the best pop record ever made."
- Johnny Wright

I'm not even on that song. Nowhere, no backgrounds, nope. I was sick. Brian had to teach me the damn backgrounds at the video shoot 'cause I didn't know what the stupid words were.
- AJ

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell met his future wife, Leighanne Littrell (Née Wallace), on the set of the music video for this song.
