Lil Wayne – How To Love lyrics
[Lil' Wayne]

You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

For a second you were here
Why you over there?
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love

When you was just a young'un you're looks but so precious
But now your grown up
So fly it's like a blessing but you can't have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It's seems like you came back 10 times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

For a second you were here
Why you over there?
It's hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love

You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions

You the one here talking to me
You don't wanna listen
But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don't be mad
Nobody else trippin
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook

See You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

Oooh,
See I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Yeah

And I want you to know, you're far from the usual
Far from the usual

You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

    This song is about girl who has always questioned her self-worth because she had always been valued based on her outer beauty and her body. She has learned to measure her worth with her body and never experienced a man loving her for her inner beauty and who she is on the inside. Her whole outlook on life had been marred by this so she never trusted anyone and found herself accustomed to using her s** appeal to get the things she wanted out of life. She often feels insecure if men looked at her because how they viewed her appearance determined whether or not they would deal with her. She both loathed and capatilized on her looks.

    I had a lot of "crooks" steal my heart and they were always the wrong men. My dad abused me when I was little and I think because of that I was taught the "wrong" way to love. I don't think I know "how to love". I don't even love myself. Just like the song says. "never had luck, couldn't never figure out. See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever. Now you're in the corner trying to put it together. How to love. " that's exactly what I feel like I'm doing.

    For me is a important song. Coz I maid a slideshow for my x girlfriend. And I love her so much and I use this song for my slideshow that she make cry infront of me. And its my first time. That somebody cry on what I did so how to love mean. You love that girl and you don't know how to love. But how many days you already know how to love.

    I was reminded of this song as it blared from a radio, while pumping gas, and reminded me of how I feel about myself. This song is about a girl, who may have, always being judged by her outer appearance, but who has found her soul mate. She has to take a "time out" and wrap her head around the fact that she's amazing. She deserves this man, who is her souls mate and inspiration, which will be guiding her to figuring out how to love. She's had love, when younger, and let it slip b/c she was too consumed in her beauty, but has since learned what it means to love, unconditionally for eternity.

    This does not make sense. The video and the song have completely different meanings. There is clearly rape a domestic violence going on in the video and those things are not even suggested in the song. I do not understand how anyone can interpret this song as anything otherwise. I read the lyrics, it sucks.

    I think that the meaning to this song is that a young girl was growing up all wrong thinking she knew what love was. She went down all the wrong paths in life and in the end she ended up with hiv and it turned out to be a disaster! She never stuck with one man. She was a stripper and everything else. Then in the end of the video it went back to the past of how her life should have been. She knew how to love, !
