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.

Do you know how in love you have to be to decline sending much-needed oxygen to your lungs simply because someone told you not to? I mean of course this is an exaggerated song lyric to overstate the degree of love being felt, however this is an intense way to feel for someone. Still love Mary J. Blige's "Not Gon' Cry" though... — Arista Records

Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train to Georgia" embodies the internet-famous quote "imma stick beside him." The entire song represents sacrificial love, and although it's touching, it's a feeling I have yet to feel. I, and many others, like the way that we're living in life way too much to give it up in order to live in someone else's. Can I get an amen? — Buddah Records

I'm sure someone would still have something, even if they weren't able to be with their true love irrespective of how painful being without them in their life might be. Furthermore, Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" is still a flawless emotion-inducing song that will be on my wedding playlist. — Arista Records

No one should need or be okay with their partner wanting or willing to raise them as if they were their surrogate parents like illustrated in a song lyric from Syleena Johnson's "I Am Your Woman." It's giving co-dependency. In spite of that, the gist of the song is still sorta sweet... — Jive Records

I want to be in love, yes, but not as in love as Summer Walker was in "I'll Kill You." Hell and jail are two places no one should ever go to for anyone or with anyone, period. — LVRN Records

Some of the way Destiny Child demonstrates catering to a man in their song "Cater 2 U" is doable for the right man; however, certain parts of the song are overboard and banefully extra. Even for women in love. I digress though. — Columbia Records

Shirley Brown's entire "Woman to Woman" is framed as agape love, albeit it was more indicative of struggle love. Nevertheless, love can make us do more than we should, like Ms. Shirley was doing in the song. — Truth Records

Now Ashanti. You know good and well that this level of dedication to the one your heart desires is excessive. I couldn't fathom possibly being homeless just to be with my love. I still love "Baby" by Ms. Ashanti though, and will sing it to my next beau like I mean it. — Murder Inc. Records

I was rockin' with Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" until I realized that the whole song was just Chaka professing her love for a man who's already in a relationship, and wooing him to be hers. No amount of attraction to someone should make you want them if they were already seeing someone else. The song is still romantic from a sidepiece perspective though... — ABC Records

Although this is an antithetical position taken on the idea of love, I can't help but vehemently disagree with this rhetoric proposed in Rihanna's "Needed Me." While I love RiRi forever and always, many of us still want the white horse and carriage, the phrase used as an emblem for the fairytale happy ending most strive to get. — Roc Nation Records

I guess when you want something bad enough, you'll beg for it like TLC wasn't too proud to do in "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg." Some of us can't relate though. The song is still a bop though... — LaFace Records
