I Love You 'Cause I Want To
Choosing Love on My Terms
Lyrics
I love you 'cause I want to
I have genuine affection for you because it's my desire to do so.
I love you 'cause I want to
Reiteration of the sentiment expressed in line 1.
Sometimes I wonder, baby
Expressing contemplation about the relationship, questioning the reasons for enduring certain aspects.
Why I put up with you
Wondering why the speaker tolerates certain behaviors from the partner.
You ought to pay attention
Advising the partner to be attentive, suggesting there are more important things to focus on.
I've got better things to do
Indicating the speaker's priorities and a need for the partner's attention.
I could be tearing the Eiffel Tower down to the ground
Imagining engaging in significant activities instead of dealing with relationship issues.
I could be helping superman and break the speed of sound
Highlighting potential grandiose activities the speaker could be involved in.
Nobody tells me what to do
Asserting independence and resistance to external control.
And I don't love you cause I have to
Reiterating that love is not out of obligation but a choice.
I love you 'cause I want to
Reaffirming the genuine love based on personal desire.
I love you 'cause I want to
Restating the core message of loving by choice, not obligation.
Sometimes I'm feelin' wicked and I want to sneak around
Admitting to feeling mischievous and desiring to engage in covert activities.
Sneak up from behind you baby while you're out on the town
Expressing a playful desire to surprise the partner.
Now if you don't take me with you I might catch you in the act
Warning that not including the speaker may lead to discovery of actions.
You can't run and hide and keep your alibis intact
Emphasizing the difficulty of evading consequences and preserving excuses.
Nobody tells me what to do
Reiterating the speaker's resistance to being controlled.
And I don't love you 'cause I have to
Affirming that love is not a result of obligation but personal choice.
I love you 'cause I want to
Declaring love as a result of personal desire, not external pressure.
I love you 'cause I want to
Repeating the declaration of love based on personal choice.
This just ain't some game we play, so you better straighten up
Rejecting the idea that the relationship is a game and urging the partner to behave seriously.
I ain't doin' this for my health
Clarifying that the speaker's actions are motivated by love, not arbitrary reasons.
I'm doin' it for love, love
Emphasizing that the speaker's actions are driven by genuine love.
I love you 'cause I want to
Reaffirming love as a result of personal desire, not obligation.
I love you 'cause I want to
Restating the core message of loving by choice, not obligation.
Life is an adventure and I just can't get enough
Viewing life as an exciting journey and expressing a desire for more experiences.
Love can be so simple it don't have to be so tough
Highlighting the simplicity of love and the unnecessary difficulty it doesn't have to entail.
I could be anybody's sweetheart, anybody's girl
Considering alternative paths and expressing freedom of choice in relationships.
I could marry me a rich man and sail around the world
Contemplating potential alternative lifestyles but choosing to stay with the current partner.
But I think I'll stay right here with you
Deciding to remain in the relationship because all actions are driven by personal desire.
'Cause I never do nothing I don't want to
Asserting the speaker's autonomy and a commitment to doing only what is personally desired.
I love you 'cause I want to
Reiterating love as a result of personal choice and desire.
I love you 'cause I want to
Concluding with the repetition of the central theme of love being a choice, not an obligation.
