Hey everyone, I’m @diduoflagos and this is my entry for Hive Openmic week 209

I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I wanted to share something a little different with you all. Lately, I’ve been captivated by a song that speaks volumes about the complexities of modern relationships: Ruth B’s “Superficial Love.”

There’s just something about the raw honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics that really hits home for me. It’s a song that delves into the nuances of love and connection in today’s world, where superficiality often masks deeper emotions.

So, I decided to pour my heart and soul into a cover of “Superficial Love.” Recording this song has been an emotional journey for me, as I’ve explored the themes of love, longing, and authenticity that Ruth B so beautifully captures.

I hope that by sharing this cover with you all, it can spark some thought and reflection on the nature of relationships in our lives. Whether you’re currently in the throes of love or navigating the complexities of heartbreak, I hope you find solace and understanding in the music.

So, grab a cozy blanket, make yourself a cup of tea, and take a moment to listen to my rendition of “Superficial Love” by Ruth B. And if the song resonates with you, feel free to share it with others who might appreciate its message.

Thank you for taking the time to listen, and for allowing me to share this piece of myself with you all.

SONG LYRICS

You're really cute, I must admit
But I need something deeper than this
I wanna know when I'm looking at you
That you don't only see the things you want to
'Cause I'm not perfect, I'm flawed
And if you don't like that, get lost
'Cause I don't want it if it's fake
I don't want it if it's just for show, for show
I just want it if it's real and I'm thinking I should let you know, you know
This superficial love thing got me going crazy
Baby if you want me, then you better need me
'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
Like a damn princess, make that an empress
'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
This superficial love
Fun at first, I won't deny
But I want more than just what meets the eye
I wanna know when you're looking at me
That you see deep into my personality
'Cause I want authentic, not just for fun
If this love is plastic, it'll break on us
'Cause I don't want it if it's fake
I don't want it if it's just for show
I just want it if it's real and I'm thinking I should let you know
This superficial love thing got me going crazy
Baby if you want me, then you better need me
'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
Like a damn princess, make that an empress
'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
This superficial love
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
And this ain't right
This superficial love thing got me going crazy
Baby if you want me, then you better need me
'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
Like a damn princess, make that an empress
'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
This superficial love
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
And this ain't right, this superficial love
