About The Song
“My Love” is a song by American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie. It was released in 1983 as the third and final single from his self-titled debut solo album. The song features harmony backing vocals by country music singer Kenny Rogers. It reached the top 10 on three notable Billboard magazine charts in the spring of 1983: on the Billboard Hot 100 the song peaked at No. 5; on the Adult Contemporary chart, the song spent four weeks at No. 1; and on the R&B chart, the song topped out at No. 6. “My Love” was not among Richie’s more successful singles in the United Kingdom, where it only managed No. 70 on the UK Singles Chart. In Canada, it peaked at No. 28 on the RPM Top 100 Singles chart.
Cash Box described “My Love” as being reminiscent of the Commodores’ single “Easy.”
A remake of the song was recorded and included on Richie’s 2012 album Tuskegee, which features Kenny Chesney

Lyrics
I’ve been through so many changes in my life woman
It’s a wonder I ain’t lost my mind
And I ain’t never said how much I need you sugar
But I should need you by my sideMy love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the timeLife with me I know for sure it ain’t been easy
But you stayed with me anyway
Even though you ain’t gonna lose too much by leaving
I’m so glad you stayedMy love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the timeYou’ve been my friend and you’ve been my lover, oh
Honey you’re everything I need
You’ve made my love so strong now I know where I belong
Girl you’ll never have to worry
Oh baby any more, any moreMy love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind, all the timeMy love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby…
Just blows my mind, oh yeah, all the time
All the time
All the timeMy love (my love)
My love (my love)My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby…
