Mary J. Blige - U + Me (Love Lesson) (Official Audio) 

As a man, I can relate to these lyrics. After 12 years and several children, I walked away from a woman I love and still do. Her love of alcohol exceeded that of me and our children. Loving her has made it difficult to seriously move on but as Mary says, “love will return”, some day. For now it’s me and my babies.

I get chills when I hear this melody. Mary out did herself on this song. Every person that have been in a relationship have felt like U + ME Love Lesson. I know I have felt like this... Go Mary....

I was in a bad relationship I was never happy I found myself crying over a man that did not love me the way I loved him I heard this song by Mary and it gave me the strength to pick myself up and walk away thank you Mary you saved my life in more ways than one thank you again and God bless this song is a women's anthem.

I behaved stupidly mistaking a long term relationship for real love and 6 years ago while driving in the car with my then 2 year old, his child, I heard this song. He hid the birth of his other child from me for a year. Once I learned of the baby, I could do nothing but shed tears. Praise God for healing through the grace of time gives. I'm better for it. Definitely a love lesson.

Such a freaking beautifully written song. The lyrics are so relatable, vulnerable, and honest. I love the entire song, but I am obsessed with the ending (4:43-5:00). Like, WOW!!!!! "Think of about how valuable you are. Don't let what he put you through cause you to close your heart."

OH DAMN!!!! I heard this the first time while I was driving home, I had to bypass my house! this shit had me going! I wasn't ready for it!!! I love this Mary J. repeat! sunroof open and mind clear!!!

This song helped me thru an end to an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship with a narcissist. When we ended I felt dead inside. But this song made me realize why I went thru that trauma. ❤❤❤

"You plus Me was a Love Lesson", how much deeper of a sentiment do you need? Damn Mary!

This April, "Share My World" Turns 20, In July, "What's the 411?" Turns 25 and At the End of the Year, "Growing Pains" Turns 10. 25 Years In the Game and She STILL Putting Out Albums and Bangers. Been a Fan Since '96. Can't WAIT For This New Album to Come. #THEQUEENOFHIPHOPSOUL 😍👑💯

Her best music has been when she has gone through a storm cause it is so relatable. #SheIsWinningRegardless

Getting over a narcissist this song here speaks to me in more ways than one. And just relationships that was always one sided and me always getting the short end of the stick. Thank you MJB

When you had me you should have NEVER QUESTIONED❤❤❤❤❤😂😢

To her husband..Bitch you had it all..But you lost it..now somebody else gone have that good thing...You crazy man....All she wanted was love and lil shit and you couldn't even give her that..Hold your head up Mary..You have this..We behind you 1000

This song deserves a music video! Whew! One of my favorites from Mary!

Who's still bumping this in 2020💜

I don't mean anything bad by this, but is it just me or does Mary make AMAZING music when her heart is broken......

Mary was writing this Album through all that pain of her divorce . Where in for a treat come April 28th..cant wait.

Everything she say. I really. Been through it. I choose wrong men's in relationships. I had married wrong man. Getting a divorce. In spite all pain & hurt. I been through. God brings me. Through it. In spite. My loneliness. God only understand me.

This song really helped me to make the decision to leave a relationship that I was in,they were always telling other people about what going on in our relationship making me feel like fool and I was always the bad one in the relationship,always putting the blame on me always telling me to get out especially after the rent was paid it was the most toxic relationship that I’ve ever gone through but it’s finally over now and now I am free to move on there were times that I never knew when the angry would have gotten physical but I wasn’t going to stick around to see it so I have often heard that some women aren’t so lucky but I am definitely glad I started to see the signs this song truly is amazing thank you Ms.Blige for giving me the courage through your song and words

Man this song is the truth....12 years and 3 kids later. Trust me with every disappointment in life there is a lesson for you to learn. I'm going to focus on the lesson and not the disappointment.

Mary J came back strong, I've listened to this song about 1000 today at work, kept it on repeat. I thought "thick of it" blowed my mind but this one right here tho..........💯

2022 still bumping. Mary knows all the feels! And puts it perfectly for everyone to relate to!

Must've been crazy to think that you loved me I saw all the signs but I just couldn't say nothing I did the time across the line for you 'Cause I can't see myself with nobody else but you Tell me what you're thinking 'cause this is what you wanted Should've been the one to hold me when I got lonely 'Cause every time I think of the lies you told to me Make it easy for me to leave You plus me was a love lesson In too deep without imperfection Not always good, but I stayed on my feet You had me, should've never questioned You plus me was a love lesson In too deep without imperfection Not always good, but I stayed on my feet You had me, should've never questioned You plus me You plus me You plus me Oh, I was ridin' wherever you going At times, I wanted to leave, but didn't wanna be lonely Can't deny the fact you were my one and only Love that I would do, only love I knew And now I gotta turn my back 'cause you didn't realize that, boy This was a real thing And I just can't deny the fact we don't belong together Guess it ain't the real thing You plus me was a love lesson In too deep without imperfection Not always good, but I stayed on my feet You had me, should've never questioned You plus me was a love lesson In too deep without imperfection Not always good, but I stayed on my feet You had me, should've never questioned You plus me You plus me You plus me Gotta keep on pushing and love myself through the hard times Gotta keep my patience, still a long way to go now There's so much to learn When we trust the love that's deep in us, then love will return Boy this thing was a love lesson You plus me was a love lesson In too deep without imperfection Not always good, but I stayed on my feet You had me, should've never questioned You plus me was a love lesson In too deep without imperfection Not always good, but I stayed on my feet You had me, should've never questioned You plus me You plus me You plus me You plus me You plus me You plus me

None of Mary's songs get old

" you had me should have never questioned"-best line in the song

I live for the “woahhhhhhhh ooooaaaahhhhh” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2021 still here. These lessons never get old

This song is pure therapy!!! I also meditate to this... NOT ALWAYS GOOD BUT I STAY ON MY FEET!... She help me regain the confidence I need in myself to move on!

This album should've been My Life PT. 2 who else agrees

Timeless! Epic material!❤

This song makes me cry!! Wasted 9 years of my life🥲🥲

No need to say anything. This song speaks for itself!..! 🖤

damn I was wondering how she was going top " thick of it" and she did, those low tones notes took me back to the old Mary, we got to support R& B music again y'all.

The bridge🔥🔥🔥 Lord I love Mary's music!!

Must be crazy to think you love me that's a deep feeling 💪

Her voice sounds really clear.

Song speaking to my soul...15yrs together, 5yrs of marriage with 3kids....the fight is over, just gotta let it go...its time

Even if you’re not going through it she has this way of making you feel it. ❤

This song resonates very loud for me as going through it with someone who has addict struggles. it has impacted my personal and professional lives in very dramatic ways. I hear Mary's saga as well as her trials and tribulations are moments in time. I told ppl years ago if we are not growing then time to get going! Not an easy piece of advice to adhere to however when you keep second guessing movements it is imperative to remove self from the damage done. It is so real out here. My favorite by MJB after her 30+yrs on the block.

the reason Mary has been in the game so long she just always different from the rest of the r&b artists, my opinion!

You know I watched her breakfast club interview where she said he used to say things like her fans didn't love her anymore. like how mean was that. We will always love Mary. and this song just proves how amazing she is and always will be. This song is everything 🔥🔥😙😙😙😙

You ever have one of those songs that just wakes you up no matter what time it is? This is one of those songs. Love you, Mary. Thank you for your music. 💙🎶

I can't get enough of this song it's like she saying what I want to say just love 💕 it.

THIS SONG NEEDS A VIDEO STILL........ 2018

When going thru my break up THIS SONG GAVE ME LIFE!!!!! I play this damn near everyday.... Mary is definitely the QUEEN OF R&B I HAVE BEEN A FAN SINCE REAL LOVE❤️!!!! Her music you can really relate I feel her pain in some of her songs and I pray God brings her happiness peace and love!!!!!!!

Tell me why I just discovered this song because I called the pharmacy at Walgreens and they put me on hold and I was like “oh ok they jamming” lol and then I went to find the song on RU-vid and I did ❤

I can't believe 5 years flew by. These songs just came out and I was blasting the whole album. Mary always delivers

I saw all the signs but just wouldn't say nothing....that part is so deep.

2 thousand people need there ears checked.. This is some true shit!! I am forever a Mary J Blige fan..😍😍😍😍😍💕💕

"When you are in love, you see what you want to see." End quote Mary J Blige. 😮

This should've been the lead single from this album.

I'm not always good but I stay on my feet👉FACTS.

She's not nominated as the (Queen) of R&B for nothing... MJ, has been running the game for years!!!

She dropped SO MANY JEWELS IN THIS SONG. I LOVE YOU MARY

Man, let me tell you... I’m HAPPILY married but I’ve had this song on repeat since this morning, it’s now 6:00 in Kansas City, Mo and I’m still Jammin to this bishhhhhhhhhh #u+me

The Queen speaks for some of us broken hearted women again..... She is a true motivator, and she delivers the emotions full stop... I love her know and always!

The song for the victim of a #narcissist ....Good one Mary!

I'm a young man I'm 18 and I love this song I been through some experience in life already

The power of growth - emotional detox is real. Much love Mary🤗✊🏿🤗 Proverbs 4:23 More than anything you guard, protect your mind, for life flows from it.

M.J.B is undeniably the most consistent artist since the 90s. always giving her fans that something special feel good life lesson vibe.

This song has been on repeat for the last 4 days straight.

This is a hit song for ever. Love Mary you are a real woman and you have motivated a lot of woman’s.

This song ain't break ups, it's about failed friendships

Jesus Christ S/O to whoever mixed and engineered this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

She beautiful...she represents black well!!😊 go girl!!!!

I used to think who would be a good matchup in Verzuz.. The only who i can think of who’s had decades of hits like Mary was Aretha Franklin.. An inter generational Verzuz

Mary will have you viben to her music all day

This song got me through a horrible heartbreak 💖

She still has it, 25 years later. It's about time she starts getting tributes this year... Billboard and BET definitely better do something for her. Mary is one of the most charted women on the Billboard charts and has sold over 65 million records WW and won dozens upon dozens of awards and accolades so some type of tribute is deserving at this point in her career

Sing, Queen Mary. This is everything. Catch the beat and production. It slayed along with Mary's vocal.

First time ever hearing her use her whistle notes back to back

And this is why we call her "The QUEEN" of R&B....she's back, an I'm here for it!!!🎙🎵 #MJBfan

When I went to her concert it was simply amazing and she is stunning in Real life. I walked out that concert a Different woman!! Few will understand this. Pain Brings Change...

I wish this song was Out before I got in a 2nd toxic relationship. I learned my lesson but I wouldnt have had a broken heart. I was in love with this Narcissist. I don't think he Loved me or even like me. He just used me, shattered my Heart, my Kindness & Generosity. Love this Jam!❤Mary J.Blige my Girl!🔥I guess I'm in my feelings today b/c I keep playing this song over and over.

I walk away from the love of my life My love my husband my everything 😢😢 He was controlling abusive an alot of drinking Its been 4 yrs 🤦🏾‍♀️ it still hurts me till this very day I never loved noone like this before he was my first love ❤️ ❤❤❤

Who else gets the feels

Damn I heard this ONCE and I fell in LOVE!! yas mjb

This song is giving me strength and power. Thank you Mary.

Mary will ALWAYS BE RELAVENT NO MATTER THE YEAR OR ERA.
