LYRICS
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is naïve
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is deceived
Let me find that your hands that are touching me
It’s not the hand that’s supposed to be, your lips an illusion
Let me be the only fool for your embrace, let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion
If love is overrated, why is it the only thing I serve
If love is overrated, why is the one I’m in the one that I deserve
I can tell you, oh it feels so real, every touch that I steal
Your arms an illusion
Let me be the only fool for your embrace, let me fall upon my face
I’ll like this strange illusion
Whoa I’m ok, with loves never-ending dream
It’s a risk I’ll like to take
In the hope I’ll never wake
From this thing I call my fate reality
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is naïve
If love is overrated, let me be the one that is deceived
Let me find that your hands that are touching me
Is not the hands that’s supposed to be, your lips an illusion
Let me be the only fool that you embrace, let me fall upon my face
I like this strange illusion
And whoa I’m ok
Love’s never-ending dream
That’s a risk I’ll like to take
In the hopes I’ll never wake from this thing I call my fate reality
If love is overrated, I’ll like overrated
If love is overrated, I’ll love overrated
If love is overrated, I am obsessed with overrated
If love is overrated, I’m in love with overrated.
Overrated.

When you haven't loved in so long. Gregory Porter makes you feel like you can. Again.
Agreed
can it be possible?💗
Truth.
Amen..
Yes, I definitely agree with you ❤
I'm calling it. This will be my future wedding song. From its simplicity to its blissful feel and lyrics, it hits all the right notes.
MATURE LOVE SONGS are so rare now. Whew, so refreshing.
😀😉😉
@@notnow2364 Not sure what your comment means. For clarity's sake, I was talking about the lyrics. I'm a songwriter and I write lyrics.
I agree with you in TOTALITY! This is a rare treat.❤️
This touched my soul. Simply beautiful.
That's such a great way to express exactly what i was thinking Aron but i just couldn't find the words. I get the impression you're a natural with words . You should use those words as lyrics in a song. Please let me know if you ever do.
Back to music that makes you close your eyes and breathe.
OMG, that's a perfect description!
Yes, just breath deep & dream!
I'm speechless!
Thank you Vee, I'm a Chapman as well. You've hit the spot :)
Exactly
I saw him on Jim Kimble he melded my heart I'm 80. It's just lovely 😍.
When I first heard this song, it was raining outside, I was making a pot of coffee, and something gripped me...it was this song. The voice raw and unassisted, the melody intoxicating, and the clear message of daring love. Thank You, Mr. Porter for bringing us back into a reality of "Realism".
So true!
me too...I had a huge cry
Love love love this song and Gregory porter!!
This song is just so beautiful...the lyrics..the voice...the instrumentals..a perfect trifecta..and one stunning song!
Daring love!!!! Ohhh thats romantic miss
Good lord his music makes me cry...joy tears, hurt tears, pain tears, desire tears, amazing!❤
😭
Same😢
beautifully expressed, thank you💕
Gregory Porter is the epitome of what a real artist is in our modern era of music from any genre. His delivery on this song is sophisticated,smooth and sexy. His songs embodies love and he conveys it with lyrical excellence. If you've never seen this brother live,then you're doing yourself an injustice. I've had the distinct pleasure of seeing him three times in concert and he hasn't disappointed. What you hear on his recordings is what you hear at his concerts,clear, crisp and clean. I have all of his albums and I can't wait for this masterpiece to drop.
Absolutely agree!💗
Mr. Porter, thank you for being true. If there were only more people that think the way you sing, this world would be so much more beautiful. I've held on dearly to your songs. They remind me what were doing all this for. I hope I get to see you at North Sea Jazz again next year. Bless your soul.
isn't amazing that in 2020 there are people who still make music like this
That’s literally what I’m thinking too !!!
Sizo Zwane I thank God that there are
💕💕💕💪
Music appreciation 101.
My God this dude
He is one of those rare and very gifted artists who has a unique sound, lush voice and belongs in the company of such other great artists like Sarah Vaughn, Phoebe Snow, Nancy Wilson, Al Jarreau, Shirley Horn and Ella Fitzgerald. So glad Gregory Porter came along to remind us that real singers, those that can hold their audience with raw talent and not balloons and confetti still exist.
Fishbite9 Totally agree with you. 😊😌
Well said!
Yes. Indeed! (Also Isaac Hayes).😊🎶
Jaa man
Fishbite9 very relaxing
“If love is overrated; let me be the one that is naive” 😭😭 oh man!!
I’m aiming to make this the first song I listen to when I move into my new home shortly. I’ve lived in California my entire life and I want cold, rain, and quiet. No artificial life or ego. Just a small home with a back yard to watch the rain, read a book and drink coffee in a nice chair. This will be the first song I play when I finally sit down in that chair in my dream house somewhere in Oregon or Washington. Love this beautiful song.
Hope youvwere able to find that place. I play this song on a daily basis. It's my new anthem...has been for a year now.
Smells like peace of mind!
You should do that Mr Berke 👌
Sounds fantastic. New beginnings and new experiences.
With your loved one by your side, yes?
Lol irony I'm renting at this place in Durban South Africa its facing forest it's raining as I play this , holding my 11 months old baby and pondering about life in this serenity
I heard this song on my local smooth jazz radio about a month ago and i can't get enough. I've listened to this song about 100 times since then. So beautiful!
I could listen every day. Easy!
@@adg_87 me to.
Same with me a few days ago!!! It came on and I thought "Wow, this has gotta be out of the 70s, with that 'scratchy'ish string sound and soulful vibes.." glad i was wrong! This song is absolutely incredible
I heard it today for the first time on Alexa! I am in love with overrated!
@@hannahguada1768 right! There is something very nostalgic about it. Brings back childhood memories even though its a fairly new song. Love it when songs do that
She says we're not together....but I love her; I can't turn it off like a light. 😮😢
If this song is overrated, then I'm in love with overrated!
Me too!!! So BEAUTIFUL!
Well said 😀shywifie 👌
😆😆😆
I saw Gregory Porter and Ledisi last night with my wife and daughter. There was love everywhere in the NJPAC, in the music, in those in attendance and even in the atmosphere..
It was an amazing show..i was there too
Wowww your lucky
I saw him two weeks ago with Ledisi at the Cobb Energy Center in Georgia. I thought Ledisi was the headliner, and of course she was excellent. But, Gregory Porter had the audience spellbound. He has a Flawless voice.
michael seth what a blessing!!! I know y’all had a lovely evening!!! 💫🙌🏾
I was there too! He is amazing! They both were amazing!
Oh my darling Gregory, how your songs hit my heart and soul. I love you.
Something very magical about this song with Mr. Porter's earnest and soulful voice. The arrangement is divine and supports the melody with essential and timely accents. This is real music with a purpose - to tell a story with intelligence, superb harmonics and integration of heartfelt lyrics. Hard to get it out of my mind as I often reflect upon when I first heard this song floating in a lush pool, full moon on a warm summer's night creating a rare transcendent experience. I wanted it to last forever!!!
WHO IN THE WORLD DISLIKED THIS???? So good!!
Crackheads did it.😭🤣
263 sick people
Not me, I was sleeping at the start of the track 😴
Lets find them and whoop their a**. LOL
Wendell Rauerson right???!!
OMG, I've found the song that we will dance to , our first dance on wedding day. August 21st, 2021. This song is so beautiful!
Gregory Porter is an amazing singer!❤
Beautiful 💕
Congratulations!
Beautiful choice! And Congratulations 🍾
Hope the wedding were great, luv!
The best Valentine's Day gift is thissong.
😀
This song is a gift, but you can’t give it as a gift. But you can set the mood with this song, and if she ain’t feeling it you can find a new boo!
@@coletrickle3166 facts!
I love insanity !!
Love must conntinie
Listening to this for the second time in a row..I feel drawn in, with a sense of warmth, peace and safety.
Beautiful.
Such a breezy, swaying song.
A reminder that there are those who treasure the true gift: LOVE ❤️ .
Man I appreciate you sharing your voice once again taking our minds and spirit to a place of peace in mist of a world of chaos and unrest.
Well said brother!
2023- You know real music if you're reading this. Sending love to you!
Sir, my hopeful friend, your voice, and your music, and your words are a gift to my heart and my brain. Beautiful children love to fall asleep this every night. Thank you.
OMG!! What Beauty!! The Good Lord has gifted this man with the most beautiful instrument on Planet Earth..and he has embraced it with all his heart and soul,,,,,tell me!!! When have you heard anything More beautiful than this track???
A true expression of love and passion. We need more music like this again
You just know this album is going to be pretty much perfect. This song blew me away with its beauty, simplicity and the way he sings it. I love him.
But your love is overrated.
😀💕💕💕
When is the album dropping?
An man who can take his pain , his life experiences and life changes good or bad and make music about it is worth the time to listen to and understanding his story god bless you
Peace brothers Peace Sisters Love and Soul for all ❤️🔥❤️
for a moment, my cold hurt heart felt it, the memory of this kind of love. Beautiful!
Your comment- spot on
I can feel your pain.
From the fist moment I heard this song I feel in love with it…the embracing lyrics, luring smooth voice, the calming jazz, the ever easy slow snare drum, all of it just eased into this captivating melody…🎶 it grabbed and I had to play it and replay over and over again and again,
So Well done…💕💕Thank you for making great romantic muisc come back to life. 💕Don’t lose it to follow the trend. Stay real and down to earth and to the heart.
A love from me past sent this song to me! This song is so awesome and Mr. Porter has that love on a rainy day voice. Thank You to the love from my past!

I must have been living under a rock to be just discovering this man..😢
Me as well. Let's hope we can resurge his career in the states. He deserves a phenomenal career. He makes you feel the country has better days. Perhaps a bit of nostalgia.
His voice is as smooth as butter...Amazing
This just soothes my soul. Can’t wait to hear all this good music live, next month. 🥰
Camille Beckford aah same!! I’m seeing him in March and I’m so excited after 4 years of being a fan to see him perform live!!
Taylor Parker it is an amazing experience.
Camille Beckford My dear you are in for a treat. I saw him this past Tuesday, & must say he sounds even better live if that’s even possible.My ears were truly blessed that night.
HE IS AMAZING LIVE!!! (WORTHY OF ALL CAPS!) Such a wonderful experience.
Camille Beckford I went to his concert last night. It was amazing 😉
Absolutely great. Sax and voice are unimaginable. And bass. And strings. This music have a soul. My repeat. And lyric. And piano. My good, it is simple great.
Nice to know that there are people like you who are capable of expressing feeling of true Love.
Mr. Porter,from Italy a big thank for this Songs.
I've just seen him for the 6th time in person here In Philly 2-10-20 and needless to say, he never disappoints. If you have never seen him live,you owe it to yourself to check him out. He is even better live!!🎤🎶🎵
6 times...…. you got me beat. I've seen him 4 times but it would've been 5 times if I had not been recovering from surgery and had to donate my tickets last August when he was in the Bay Area then....
So true.
I've never seen him and want to sooooo bad He won't come to South Florida. Can't understand Why?
HIS PERFORMANCES ARE FYRE....
Moves me to tears

Truly Soulful, Tender, Mature Love Songs. Thank You Mr. Porter for reminding us of how Love songs are supposed to sound.
Shoes that fit my love, wife and marriage of 22 years. Thank you Mr. Gregory
My boyfriend and I have been waiting for Mr . Porter to come to Los Angeles for a while now and he was just here this past weekend before Valentine's day . He has been my fav for quite some time and when my guy purchased tickets... I could have just died !!! The concert was magical and his voice was perfect and I caught myself crying and full of emotion just to hear him in person. Thanks Gregory and Thanks Sweetheart for a night I will never forget !!!
I would like to thank my niece for turning me on to his music. What a great voice. Can't wait to see him again.
When you hear a song as beautiful and romantic as this and convinced you heard it before over 30 years ago… and then realize it was just released 4 years ago. Wow. Amazing song and an instant classic. 🙌🏼
Chi canta col ❤️ si vede...! Trovarsi su un palco, in mezzo al, *MONDO *penso sia un emozione immensa! Questo desiderio immenso è rimasto sempre chiuso dentro al mio ❤️.. Complimenti!!! Grazie per il brivido che provo ascoltando....a sua Voce. ***** L*Amore che ti da la musica. ****

"IF" Love is overrated, let me be the one that is nieve. WOW beautifully sung and so powerful.
God is love. Love is real.

Gregory's voice is like a warm blanket on a cold and snowy evening.
I love this. I’ll never forget the day my husband play-listed this for me. I cried the whole day at work. 😭❤️
This brother's voice is silky and masculine at the same time. One of my favorite voices. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Another masterpiece by the great Gregory Porter! There has been NOTHING that he and his band has produced that I have not liked. Thank you for not committing musical genocide!👍🏿👍🏿
Masterfully one of the most ultimate soul singers to deliver the essence and concept of being in love.............👑❣️❣️👑

Mr. Porter is all that I can write, YOU are! Love and lots of blessings,

This song stopped me in my tracks the other night while just laying on my girl in the living room. It takes me back to being a little kid and when I really fell in love with music itself.
The Lyrics!! His execution!! 🔥🔥🔥
I so miss hearing the beautiful instrumentals in the background of music. It’s almost never heard anymore. It paints a beautiful picture❤
Then let it be overrated. Beautiful song.
beyond beautiful. i cry every time... but it's a good, cathartic cry. myG, he's a genius.
Another Porter song that is sheer beauty.
Seems like a lot of credit should go to Mr. Troy Miller for running this show.
Gregory the Angel King Prodigy. Thank heaven 4 u ok
I'm feeling this!
So grateful for his gift!
❤❤❤
I am in love with this song!!!!! A whole VIBE!!! 🎶💯♥️
I saw him in Philly last week. I just closed my eyes and lost myself in his voice and the music. He is EVERYTHING!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love becomes more complete when we acknowledge its needs and limitations.
This is such a beautiful song! Gregory's voice so soothing. Enjoyed him performing this at UCLA in Royce Hall last Friday!
I saw him on Feb 6 in Oakland and he sang this...
I was at the UCLA show it was incredible
I was at Royce Hall...brilliant and unforgettable...
His singing is pure as water so transparent and thirst quenching 😊
This is such an amazing song !! - GREGORY PORTER is one of the best song interpreters with an incredible soul voice that "makes icebergs melt" !
Thank you Mr. Porter your talent is a generational talent.. once in a generation
Spiritual and sensual are so rare in music these days. Thank you so very, very much.
Simply beautiful.....no other comment needed
Beautiful song what a great voice he has!
An amazing song but this man has such an amazing voice. Can’t get enough of him.
I play this song a minimum of 4 times whenever it comes on.
