Lyrics
Love, love, love
Expression of love, possibly emphasizing its importance
Love, love, love
Reiteration of the theme of love
I'd drop by your place
Expressing a desire to visit the person's place
No reason just to see you smile
Visiting without a specific reason, just to see the person smile
There were days when
Reflecting on days of leisure with no specific activities
We'd do nothing for a while
Spending time doing nothing for a while
Hand in hand and arm in arm
Describing physical closeness and intimacy
I needed your company
Expressing a need for companionship
It wasn't a fair trade though
Acknowledging an imbalance in the relationship
Cuz you wanted one thing from me
Acknowledging a specific expectation in the relationship
All you wanted from me was love
Highlighting the partner's desire for love
The one thing that I couldn't give to ya
Admitting the inability to provide the desired love
Everything I did wasn't enough
Acknowledging efforts made but realizing they weren't sufficient
Cuz all you wanted from me was love
Reiterating the partner's singular desire for love
I had reservations
Having reservations or doubts
But they don't make sense now
Realizing that reservations don't make sense now
I think I just got used to
Getting accustomed to having the person around
Having you around
Admitting a comfort in the person's presence
You could make me happy girl
Acknowledging the partner's ability to bring happiness
Just by being you
Stating happiness through authenticity
I wanted to change for ya
Expressing a willingness to change for the partner
Though I think you knew
Suspecting that the partner was aware of this desire to change
All you wanted from me was love
Repeating the partner's primary desire for love
The one thing that I couldn't give to ya
Reiterating the inability to provide the desired love
Everything I did wasn't enough
Acknowledging insufficient efforts in the past
Cuz all you wanted from me was love
Reiterating the partner's singular desire for love
You know that it eats at me, every single day
Expressing inner turmoil and daily emotional struggle
If you want to even up the score, for sure
Suggesting a desire for reciprocity in the relationship
You know that it kills me yeah, every single way
Highlighting personal emotional pain
You think that I hurt you but I hurt myself much more
Clarifying the internal emotional struggle
All you wanted from me was love
Repeating the partner's primary desire for love
The one thing that I couldn't give to ya
Reiterating the inability to provide the desired love
Everything I did wasn't enough
Acknowledging insufficient efforts in the past
Cuz all you wanted from me was love
Reiterating the partner's singular desire for love
Love, love, love
Reiteration of the theme of love
Love, love, love
Final reiteration of the theme of love
