All forms of love benefit us in some way, including romantic love. This universal emotion is so relatable, and apart of the collective human experience, hence why it's consistently expressed in movies and music. Chiefly in R&B music. R&B's full name may be rhythm and blues, but there is a whole lot of love in between there.

While some R&B lyrics are understandable, there are a few instances where the song lyrics go right over your head and past your heart. Although beautiful and endearing in theory, some R&B lyrics can be slightly problematic if put into practice. Below are 19 amazing R&B lyrics that I, and other members of the human population, still can't relate to.

1.Mary J. Blige — "I would've stopped breathing if you told me to"

2.Gladys Knight — "I'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine"

3.Whitney Houston — "I have nothing if I don't have you"

4.Syleena Johnson — "Now I've been dealin' with you since sweet sixteen / Woman enough to let you raise me"

5.Summer Walker — "I'll go to hell or jail 'bout you, boy"

6.Destiny's Child — "Don't know if I need to reassure you / My life would be purposeless without you"

7.Destiny's Child — "I wanna give you my breath, my strength, my will to you / That's the least I can do / Let me cater to you"

Destiny's Child

Many I know still can't relate to this lyric from Destiny Child's "Cater 2 U," and that's probably because of the unhealthy level of submission prevalent in it. DC3 member Michelle Williams carried the last verse from beginning to end though...

8.Monica — "You're everything to me / The air that I breathe / My sight so I see"

9.Shirley Brown — "The bed he sleeps in and every piece of food he eats / You see, I make it possible / The clothes on his back Ha ha, I buy them / The car he drives, I pay the note every month / I'm telling you these things to let you know how much I love that man / And woman to woman / I think you'll understand just how much I'll do to keep him"

10.Etta James — "I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy / Then to see you walk away from me"
