Loverboy
Passionate Longing: Billy Ocean's Loverboy Unveils a Heart's Ache
Lyrics
I don't know what you've got
I am uncertain about the qualities you possess
But it plays with my emotions, I want you so much
Your presence affects my emotions deeply, and I desire you intensely
Darling, I wanna hold you near
Dear, I want to be close to you
Wanna whisper sweet and tender in your ear
I want to softly and affectionately speak into your ear
Can't stand the thought of you with somebody else
The idea of you being with someone else is unbearable
Gotta have your love, gotta have it all to myself
I must exclusively possess your love
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing affirmation and eagerness
I Wanna be your lover, lover
I aspire to be your romantic partner
Hmm, wanna be your lover, lover, lover boy
Expressing a desire to be the special lover, the "lover boy"
Lover, lover, yeah
Repetition of the desire to be a lover
Wanna be your lover, lover, lover boy
Reiterating the desire to be a lover, specifically a "lover boy"
I'm too far gone, it's hard to stop
Expressing being deeply committed and finding it challenging to halt
Baby, you're my dream in motion and I won't give up
Referring to the person as a dream in motion and expressing determination
Hmm, teasing me with your fire
Hinting at being tempted by passion
My finger's on the trigger
Ready to act, with a metaphorical trigger reference
You're the one I desire
Expressing desire for the specific person
'Cause I have this feeling, feeling from nobody else
Unique feelings only for this person
Gotta have your tenderness all to myself
Wanting exclusive access to the tenderness of the person
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing affirmation and eagerness (repeated)
Wanna be your lover, lover
Reiterating the aspiration to be a lover
Hmm, wanna be your lover, lover, lover boy
Repetition of the desire to be the special lover, the "lover boy"
Lover, lover, yeah
Repetition of the desire to be a lover
Wanna be your lover, lover, woo, yeah
Expressing the desire to be a lover with enthusiasm
And I want you really but the thing is there's nothing I can say
Expressing genuine desire, acknowledging a challenge
To stop you darling from running, running away
Conveying a sense of urgency to prevent the person from leaving
Won't you stay, stay, stay, yeah
Requesting the person to stay
Wanna be your (lover, lover) yeah
Reiterating the aspiration to be a lover
Wanna be your (lover, lover)
Repetition of the desire to be a lover
Wanna be your love (whoa, whoa)
Expressing a deep longing to be loved
I gotta have your love (whoa, whoa)
Asserting the need for the person's love
I wanna be your love (whoa, whoa)
Expressing the desire to be loved
And I can't stand it baby, hmm (whoa, whoa)
Conveying an inability to tolerate the absence of love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Exclamatory expression of deep affection
Girl, I love you more and more each day
Declaring an increasing love for the person each day
