I.Y.A.
Embracing Love's Symphony: Chris Brown's I.Y.A. Unveiled
Lyrics
I was crazy when I said I didn't love you
I regretted saying I didn't love you; it was a moment of irrationality
From the first time that I ever saw you
My feelings for you started the first time I laid eyes on you
The emotions running deep underneath my skin
Deep emotions are within me, beneath the surface of my skin
Sign anywhere for your love, where do we begin?
I'm ready to commit to your love; where should we start this journey?
So lay me down
Expressing a desire to be laid down, possibly vulnerable and open
Tell me what I wanna hear
Asking to hear words that bring comfort or affirmation
Take me down
Expressing a desire to be taken down, possibly surrendering to love
There's nobody else I'd rather be with
Acknowledging that there's no one else the person would rather be with
I wanna wake up in your arms
Repetition emphasizes the strong desire to wake up in the partner's arms
I wanna wake up in your arms
-I wanna wake up in your arms
-I wanna wake up in your arms
-Oh-oh-oh, whoa
Repetitive sounds, possibly indicating strong emotions or a climax
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
-Oh-oh-oh, whoa
-Oh-oh-oh, whoa
-If my heart is outta place, move over
If my emotions are misplaced, make room for them
I could've told you how it hurts, could've told ya
Expressing a missed opportunity to share the pain or express feelings
And now I want you, I can feel it in my heartbeat
Desiring the person now, feeling it intensely in the heartbeat
It's like a race, like I'm running in a track meet
Describing the intensity of emotions, akin to a competitive race
So lay me down (oh-oh)
Reiteration of the desire to be laid down, hear affirming words, and surrender to love
Tell me what I wanna hear (oh-oh)
-Take me down (oh-oh)
-There's nobody else I'd rather be with (oh-oh)
-I wanna wake up in your arms (your arms)
Repetition intensifies the longing to wake up in the partner's arms
I wanna wake up in your arms (I wanna wake up in your arms)
-I wanna wake up in your arms (your arms, your arms)
-I wanna wake up in your arms (your arms, your arms)
-Oh-oh-oh, whoa
Repetitive sounds continue, emphasizing emotional intensity or climax
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
-Oh-oh-oh, whoa
-Oh-oh-oh, whoa
