Lyrics
Now that you're here with me,
Expressing contentment now that the person is present.
I want to keep you free,
Desire to allow the person freedom in their actions.
To do the things that you want to do,
Encouragement for the person to pursue their desires.
The joy in life is loving you,
Declaring that the joy in life is derived from loving the person.
But now the day has come,
Acknowledging a significant moment of revelation or decision.
To let you know where I'm coming from,
Expressing the need to reveal one's true feelings or origins.
The best of my years will go to you,
Committing the best years of life to the person.
It's the only thing that I can do,
Stating the commitment as the only viable option.
But these things don't come overnight,
Acknowledging that significant things take time to develop.
Lovin' you baby, I think I'm right.
Expressing confidence in the rightness of loving the person.
Let me say before I forget,
A reminder before potentially forgetting something important.
Lovin' you baby, it's where it's at yeah
Reaffirming the significance of loving the person.
Ya baby, look what you done for me,
Reflecting on the positive impact the person has had.
Ya baby, you set my heart free,
Highlighting that the person has liberated the speaker's heart.
Oh but I feel, yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel yeah
Expressing intense feelings of joy and liberation.
Sometimes I want to leave, but then I say,
Contemplating the idea of leaving but realizing it lacks sense.
It wouldn't make sense at all,
Acknowledging the irrationality of leaving.
Anyway, forgive me baby,
Seeking forgiveness for potential wrongs committed.
If I do wrong,
Admitting to not being a true man for an extended period.
I haven't been a true man for so long,
Acknowledging past shortcomings.
But let me say before I forget,
A reminder before potentially forgetting something important.
Lovin' you baby, it's where it's at, yeah
Reiterating the importance of loving the person.
Ya baby, look what you done for me,
Reflecting again on the positive impact the person has had.
Ya baby, you set my heart free,
Reaffirming the liberation of the speaker's heart by the person.
Baby, do you want to, do the thing that you oughta,
Inviting the person to do what they should do.
You've been very good for me,
Acknowledging the person's positive influence.
And that's a fact, I say,
Emphasizing the truth of the person's goodness.
Ya baby, look what you done for me,
Reiterating the positive impact of the person.
Ya yeah you set my heart free, yeh
Emphasizing once more the liberation of the speaker's heart.
Oh, no matter,
Stating that, regardless of circumstances, the impact remains.
What you done for me,
Expressing a sense of anticipation or expectation.
I got the feelin' that it's gonna,
Reaffirming the positive impact of the person.
Ya, look what you done for me
(No specific meaning, serves as a line break.)
Baby, baby, you set my heart free
Concluding with gratitude for the person's role in setting the speaker's heart free.
