Thing Called Love
Embracing Love's Call: A Powerful Journey Beyond Judgment and Fear
Lyrics
Don't have to humble yourself to me
There's no need for you to lower yourself in front of me
I ain't your judge or your king
I am not here to judge or control you
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
Emphasizing that she is not a regal or perfect figure
We may not even have our dignity
We might lack traditional pride or respect
This could be just a powerful thing
There's potential for a profound connection between us
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
We can make choices; we are not simple organisms
Are you ready for the thing called love
Asking if the person is prepared for love
Don't come from me and you
Love is not just between the two individuals
It comes from up above
Love comes from a higher, spiritual source
I ain't no porcupine
She is not a defensive or prickly person
Take off your kid gloves
Suggesting to be open and vulnerable
Are you ready for the thing called love
Reiterating readiness for the experience of love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
She is not an idealized, flawless figure
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Not here to fix someone's reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming
The person she addresses is not a perfect Prince Charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
Choice between living in fear or acting with hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Seeking a peaceful resolution in challenging times
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming
Wondering why love's expression is so distressing
Are you ready for the thing called love
Asking again if the person is prepared for love
Don't come from me and you
Reiterating that love transcends the individuals
It comes from up above
Love has a divine origin
I ain't no porcupine
She is not a defensive or prickly person (repeated)
Take off your kid gloves
Encouraging the removal of protective barriers
Are you ready for the thing called love
Reaffirming readiness for the experience of love
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
Using a metaphor to emphasize that transformations are not guaranteed
And glide off down the lake
Metaphorically describing a journey with uncertain outcomes
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
Whether you see the world positively or negatively depends on you
You only see the world you make
Emphasizing personal responsibility for one's perspective
Are you ready for the thing called love
Repeating the question about readiness for love
Don't come from me and you
Love is not limited to the two individuals (repeated)
It comes from up above
Love's source is from a higher, spiritual realm (repeated)
I ain't no porcupine
She is not a defensive or prickly person (repeated)
Take off your kid gloves
Encouraging vulnerability by shedding protective measures (repeated)
Are you ready for it
Possibly emphasizing the immediacy of the love experience
Are you ready for the thing called love
Repeating the question about readiness for love
Don't come from me and you
Love is not limited to the two individuals (repeated)
It comes from up above
Love's source is from a higher, spiritual realm (repeated)
I ain't no porcupine
She is not a defensive or prickly person (repeated)
Take off your kid gloves
Encouraging vulnerability by shedding protective measures (repeated)
Are you ready for it
Possibly emphasizing the immediacy of the love experience
Are you ready for love, baby
Asking specifically if the person is ready for romantic love
Ooh yeah babe
An expression of anticipation or agreement
Are you ready for love
Reiterating the question about readiness for love (repeated)
