Lyrics
I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time
I desire a love that belongs exclusively to me, continuously.
You keep it just out of reach
You consistently prevent that desired love from being attainable.
I want a love that's mine all mine
I still seek a love exclusively mine.
You keep it just out of reach
Your actions continue to keep this love just out of my grasp.
She arrives all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed
A person, likely a woman, enters enthusiastically and optimistically.
Oh but soon, soon the tears will swell
However, tears will soon follow, indicating a shift from joy to sorrow.
Makin' it here seems such a cinch
Achieving success here seems easy at first glance.
But soon she'll smell the stench
Yet, the reality becomes apparent, and the unpleasant aspects emerge.
Of the gutter-dwellers, them pretty fellows
Reference to people in difficult circumstances, contrasting with the initial brightness.
I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time
Reiteration of the desire for an exclusive and constant love.
You keep it just out of reach
The obstacle preventing the desired love remains present.
I want a love that's mine all mine
Emphasis on the persistent yearning for a love that is solely one's own.
I sit alone and wonder why
Expressing solitude and questioning why romantic opportunities pass by.
Sweet love just pass me by
Regret about missed opportunities for love.
Is there someone out there who wants to try
Wondering if there is someone willing to give love a chance.
I'll protect you, girl I never will neglect you
Commitment to protect and never neglect the potential partner.
Just slip on this ring and
Suggesting the symbolic act of proposing with a ring.
I will make your heart sing, my love
A promise to bring joy and happiness to the partner's heart.
I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time
Reiterating the desire for an exclusive and continuous love.
You keep it just out of reach
The obstacle remains, keeping the desired love just out of reach.
I want a love that's mine all mine
Expressing the persistent yearning for love that is exclusively one's own.
You keep it just out of reach
Highlighting the ongoing challenge of attaining the desired love.
I want a love that's mine all mine, all the time
Restating the longing for an exclusive and continuous love.
You keep it just out of reach
The impediment persists, preventing the realization of the desired love.
I want a love that's mine all mine
Emphasizing the unwavering desire for a love that belongs solely to oneself.
I want a love that's mine all mine
Repeating the yearning for a love exclusively one's own.
But you keep it out of reach
The obstacle continues to keep the desired love out of reach.
I want a love that's mine all mine
Reiterating the strong desire for a love that is exclusively and continuously one's own.
But you keep it out of reach
Emphasizing that despite the desire, the obstacle remains in preventing the attainment of the desired love.
