About I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time

"I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, taken from her eleventh studio album, E=MC² (2008). It was written by Carey, Aldrin Davis, Crystal Johnson and Clifford Harris, and produced by the former two. As the song's hook and instrumentation is derived from sampling DeBarge's "Stay with Me", Mark DeBarge and Etterlene Jordan also share songwriting credits. "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" was released as the album's third single in the United States, Australasia and select European countries on July 1, 2008. Drawing influence from pop, soul and R&B music genres, and featuring a piano and keyboard-driven melody, the song's lyrics demonstrate the lengths the protagonist will go for her lover, and how she will be 'lovin' him long time'. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many considering it a highlight from the album. Many reviewers complimented its production and clever interpolation of the DeBarge sample, while some criticized it for being too simple for an artist of Carey's caliber. Though expected by critics to have surely become Carey's 19th chart-topping single in the United States, the track only managed to reach a peak position of number fifty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100. Throughout other countries where it was released, the song achieved relatively weak charting, peaking within the top forty in Japan and Slovakia, and peaking at numbers sixty-nine and eighty-four in Canada and the United Kingdom, respectively.

I'll be lovin' you long time
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
(I'll be lovin')

You ain't even gotta worry
About a thing I gotcha babe
And ain't nobody takin' me away
It's not a game I'm here to stay
Our love is stronger than any drug
Addictive just can't get enough
And every time I'm with you
I want some more
Just close the door
And let's explore each other

Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
(I'll be loving you long time)
As I can breathe
(I'll be loving you long time)
Eternally)

Don't care what no one has to say
They don't understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there ain't nothin' we can't do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot where no one knows
Spend a little time just us alone
You can caress my body and never let go

Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can breathe)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)

I don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me
Don't want another
Ain't gon' never be another
Can't nobody do what you do to me

I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
Long as I know you got me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)
There's no stopping you and me
I'll be loving you long time
(As I can be)
I'll be loving you long time
(Eternally)

(I'll be lovin')
I'll be loving you a long time
I'll be loving you a long time
