Story Behind The Song
My then boyfriend, now husband, was living in one country and I was living in another country with our toddler. In anticipation of his pending trip, I took a moment to think about how much I appreciated his affection.
Song Description
I know you're not supposed to have favourite children, but this is one of my favourite babies. This is a real coming of age piece where I started to understand love. At this point, I was still convinced that it was too good to be true. While I questioned whether or not I was truly experiencing love, all of the evidenced pointed to a resounding yes!
This track is a little playful, like a child plucking flower petals and singing to herself, but then powerful in the spoken word response.

Lyrics
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me:
like a man prepared for war
like distance between us just isn't far
like there's no other woman on his radar
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me:
Not only with words skin deep
Not to ever control me like a sheep
Not to ever make me want to cry or weep
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me:
with enough respect to hold me
with character that brings real intimacy
with a heart that only sees all the beauty
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me:
Not like any man I'd ever know
Not only to create a public show
Not with intentions hidden deep below
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me:
So much he's willing to let me go
So right it's like I know him from years ago
So strong he'd take on any foe
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me:
Not to get in the way of family ties
Not to fill my head with sweet lies
Not to give up without enough tries
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me
