All I Wanna Do in Life
Embracing Love's Might: Crystal Gayle's All I Wanna Do in Life
Lyrics
You've been right, and I've been wrong
You acknowledge your partner's correctness, and I admit my mistakes.
I've been weak, and you've been strong
I've been emotionally vulnerable, while you've shown strength.
You've been good, and I've been bad
You've been virtuous, and I've behaved poorly.
Think I've had enough of that
I believe I've reached a point where I can't tolerate this dynamic any longer.
Cause all I wanna do in life is to
Expressing a clear life goal: to love someone with utmost dedication.
Love somebody with all of my might
Reiterating the desire to love intensely, giving one's all.
All I wanna do in life is to
Restating the primary life objective: to love wholeheartedly.
Love somebody with all of my might
Emphasizing the commitment to love passionately.
I love the days, you love the nights
Highlighting differences in preferences: day and night, love and conflict.
I love to love, you love to fight
Describing individual inclinations, one towards love, the other towards conflict.
I talk to you, you're far away
Expressing communication difficulties and emotional distance.
And it gets harder everyday
Conveying the increasing difficulty of the relationship over time.
Cause all I wanna do in life is to
Repeating the central aspiration: to love profoundly.
Love somebody with all of my might
Affirming the determination to love intensely and sincerely.
All I wanna do in life is to
Reiterating the primary life goal: to love with full commitment.
Love somebody with all of my might
Stressing the commitment to love someone with all one's strength.
I wish you could be a friend of mine
Expressing a desire for a closer and more amicable relationship.
I wish you could learn to play with time
Expressing a wish for the partner to be more flexible with time.
You say I dream my life away
Responding to a criticism about daydreaming, accepting it without concern.
If I do, well that's okay
Indicating a nonchalant attitude towards dreaming if it brings happiness.
Cause all I wanna do in life is to
Reaffirming the central life goal: to love intensely.
Love somebody with all of my might
Emphasizing the determination to love someone with maximum effort.
All I wanna do in life is to
Restating the core life objective: to love with utmost dedication.
Love somebody with all of my might
Reiterating the commitment to love passionately and with great strength.
