Lyrics
Tell me what to say
Expressing a desire for guidance on what to say.
To make it go away
Seeking advice on words that can resolve or alleviate a situation.
And I'll do that
Committing to follow the given advice or instructions.
Tell me what to do
Requesting guidance on actions to reconcile with someone.
To make it up to you
Willingness to take specific actions to make amends.
And I'll do that too
Reiterating a commitment to follow through with actions.
Time means so much
Emphasizing the significance of time when the only valuable thing is the partner's touch.
If all I have is your sweet touch
Stressing the importance of the partner's sweet touch in the speaker's life.
And so it goes
Reflecting on the ongoing nature of a situation or relationship.
And so it goes
Repeating the acknowledgment of an ongoing and uncertain situation.
Which way I've never, ever known
Expressing uncertainty about the direction or path to take.
Do I hold you back
Questioning if the speaker is hindering or limiting the partner.
In all the ways I lack what ya need, dear
Admitting personal shortcomings and questioning if they fulfill the partner's needs.
And heading toward the end
Acknowledging the approach of an endpoint or conclusion.
You were looking for a friend and that ain't me, dear
Recognizing the partner's search for companionship and admitting inadequacy in fulfilling that role.
Time means so much
Reiterating the value of time when the primary source of meaning is the partner's touch.
If all I have is your sweet touch
Reaffirming the importance of the partner's sweet touch in the speaker's life.
And so it goes
Repeating the acknowledgment of an ongoing and uncertain situation.
And so it goes
Reiterating the uncertainty about the direction or path to take.
Which way I'll never, never know
Expressing perpetual uncertainty about the future.
