Should I
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Dennis Brown's Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
Should I have faith in you?
Questioning whether to have faith in someone.
Should I put my trust in you?
Contemplating whether to place trust in the same person.
And should you let me down?
Considering the possibility of being let down by that person.
Should I flirt around
Wondering if it's justified to flirt with others due to doubts.
Why should I think this way?
Questioning the reason for thinking that the person is leaving.
Thinking that you're going away
Expressing concern about a potential separation.
There ain't no way, we'll stay
Asserting that staying together seems impossible.
Together anymore
Conveying a sense of inevitability about the end of the relationship.
Am I to go on now? Living this way
Reflecting on whether to continue living in the current emotional state.
Acting like a child, so young and gay
Admitting to behaving childishly and carefree.
You don't know, what it means to be loved
Noting that the person may not understand the depth of love.
You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no
Highlighting the lack of experience in receiving affection.
I've got to tell you this
Acknowledging a struggle against the feelings of love.
You're love I've tried to resist
Resisting the emotions associated with the person's love.
For I just can't go on like this
Expressing difficulty in pretending and hiding true feelings.
Pretending each day
Continuing the struggle with daily pretense.
You make me feel so mad
Feeling intense anger caused by the person.
You make me feel so sad
Experiencing deep sadness because of the person.
Whenever I'm to share your love
Expressing mixed emotions about sharing love with the person.
So how could I ever go on? Living this way
Questioning the feasibility of continuing life in current emotional turmoil.
Acting like a child, so young and gay
Reiterating childlike behavior and carefree attitude.
You don't know, what it means to be loved
Repeating the idea that the person may not understand true love.
You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no
Reiterating the lack of experience in receiving affection.
I won't come down on you
Committing not to respond with anger or harshness.
With lightning brimstone or fire
Rejecting the idea of using force or punishment.
For in my heart, that isn't what I require
Stating that genuine love is the desired response from the person.
My desire is, for you to be true and strong
Expressing a longing for the person to be truthful and strong.
And then someday you will get to know
Anticipating that the person will eventually understand their mistakes.
Where you went wrong
Hoping that the person will recognize where they went wrong.
How could I ever go on? Living this way
Reiterating the difficulty of continuing life in the current emotional state.
Acting like a child, so young and gay
Repeating childlike behavior and carefree attitude.
You don't know, what it means to be loved
Reiterating the idea that the person may not understand true love.
You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no
Reiterating the lack of experience in receiving affection.
No, you don't know, what it means to be loved
Repeating that the person may not understand the true meaning of love.
You don't know how it feels, to be hugged, oh no
Reiterating the lack of experience in receiving affection.
