Song meaning of Love by Keyshia Cole

Ah, yes, "Love" by Keyshia Cole, where do I even begin with this one? Here we have a classic tale of a woman who is finally realizing her own worth...kind of. She starts off by questioning her own adequacy, thinking she wasn't "fine enough" or "wild enough" for her partner. But now, she's done playing those mind games and just can't wrap her fabulous head around why her partner is treating her like a pawn in a chess game. She even had the audacity to meet the other girl and found out she's nothing compared to our lyrical queen. It was all just a big fantasy, honey! And then we get to the chorus, where love comes barging in like a surprise guest on a reality TV show. Our girl never knew what she was missing until she started smooching this person, and suddenly, boom, she found love. Talk about a sudden revelation! But of course, like a bad episode of a soap opera, our love interest goes MIA, leaving our girl feeling as empty as a grocery store shelf in a pandemic. She's so desperate to have them back that she's even willing to endure rainy days just for a glimpse of their face. Can't she just get an umbrella and move on? But hey, who am I to judge? Love makes us do irrational things, like writing songs about it. So, my dear Keyshia, you found love, but let's hope you also find some self-respect and a reliable weather forecast.
