Letra

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine/ I'm leaving my life in your hands/ People say I'm crazy and that I am blind/ Risking it all in a glance/ And how you got me blind is still a mystery/ I can't get you out of my head/ Don't care what is written in your history/ As long as you're here with me/

I don't care who you are/ Where you're from/ What you did/ As long as you love me/ Who you are/ Where you're from/ Don't care what you did/ As long as you love me/

Every little thing that you have said and done/ Feels like it's deep within me/ Doesn't really matter if you're on the run/ It seems like we're meant to be/

I don't care who you are (who you are)/ here you're from (where you're from)/ What you did/ As long as you love me (I don't know)/ Who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from (where you're from)/ Don't care what you did/ As long as you love me/

As long as you love me/

As long as you love me/

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows/ But I guess it shows/ When you look into my eyes/ What you did and where you're coming from/ I don't care, as long as you love me, baby./

I don't care who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from (where you're from)/ What you did/ As long as you love me (you love me)/ (repeat to fade)/ who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from (where you're from)/ Don't care what you did/ As long as you love me (you love me)/

Who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from/ what did you did/ as long as you love me/

Who you are/ where you're from(where you're from)/ as long as you love me/

Who you are as long/ as you love me/ What you did (I don't care)/ as long as you love me

Recepção critica

Stephen Thomas Erlewine do AllMusic afirmou que "As Long as You Love Me" "teria soado perfeito em qualquer época".[2] Ele também elogiou a produção engenhosa da música, que ele descreveu "tão irresistível quanto o pop adolescente pode ser".[3] John Dingwall do Daily Record afirmou que a música o lembrava de "The 90s New Kids On The Block". Chuck Arnold, da People Magazine, a viu como sua "canção de assinatura suntuosa", observando que "é sobre deixar sua vida nas mãos de alguém especial - com a única condição de que essa pessoa também o ame. Parece um acordo."[4]
